    His singular best win is on cuts over someone who was kicking his arse, the best prime contender he beat was Shannon Briggs who turned it into a war and almost won despite just losing to Foreman at age 49 with the tenacity of a kitten.... he only beat washed up left overs and had his hardest fight with an inactive Mercer who may deserve the nod depending who you ask... (not me)

    prove me wrong and Saint Primo guide your sorry souls to the truth.

    It's hard to say if Ruddock, Tucker and Holyfield were washed up or if Lewis washed them up. Who knows?

    He consistently took everyone out though, from Bowe to Ruddock to Bruno to Morrison to Golota. So, umm, he must've been good!

    If you don't think Evander was well spent with the wars he had been through i pity any fighter you deem truly spent, Tyson finished Ruddock as a fighter and Tucker? what of Tucker he amounted to very little another Tyson leftover aswell.

    He beat amateur Bowe, was outboxed by Bruno till Franks gastank gave out, then there was Aids ridden Morrison who was at the very end of career... And Goltoa? The headcase who quit in one round against Tyson.

    No, he isn't. He is a top five heavy.

    He beat the best of his era when he could get them into the ring, save Bowe, who threw a belt in the trash rather than repeat his amateur defeat. Nor is it his fault that Tyson would not fight him until he was washed up.

    Holyfield, Tyson, VitaliKlitschko, Rahman, McCall, Ruddock, Bruno, Mason, Mercer, Morrison, Golota, Tua, Briggs, Biggs, Grant, Tucker, Weaver, Akinwande...

    No, no fraud here. Any REAL boxing fan could put themselves to sleep at night reciting this resume, and dreaming of the day when we will see such a real fighting man again.

    He's overrated but definitely not a fraud.

    See the conditions for all those fights he won, he feasted on washed up fighters and left overs.

    I don't look at theoreticals what I've seen of him does not impress, his best win was where he undoubtedly won was "undefeated" Briggs which was a war which saw Lennox almost out of there.

    Vitali is his best, or washed up Holyfield better then most champions but as far as being great no he is a fraud who nearly lost to Mercer... Yes cleary he is the H2H GOAT we all are meant to believe he is.

    Seems to be more than ever recently...’aids ridden Morrison’. Unreal. Wish they’d go back to the general.

    Lennox Lewis is one of the few boxers who its impossible to objectively say he was not one of the best HW's ever.
