    Certainly not. Holmes was never knocked out before the age of 38 and even then only Tyson did it. That guy was a freak of nature when it came to finishing people.

    Holmes would've been too smart for Lennox, and stylistically an anomaly. Look at how easily, even at the age of 43, he beat a game, undefeated in-shape Mercer by pure strategy and smart fighting, despite being at every possible physical disadvantage. Compare that to a wild Lennox that got himself into a slugfest and almost lost against an overweight Mercer. The difference in ring intelligence and skill is notable. Not to mention Lewis would get outjabbed.

    This is no knock against Lewis. I just think Holmes may very well be the GOAT, possibly better than his predecessor Ali.
