    I agree. But what I mean was Lennox was levels above McCall and Rahman and should have beaten them first time round, hence he should have retired undefeated.
    He look a bit tired and old against Vitali though, so think he knew it was his time to walk away

    Yeh, this is how I feel too. You can't retire and unretire, etc., etc. and still retain the legacy as if you made the most of the window of opportunity open to you.

    This topic isn't about Fury/Lewis on their best night beating any given opponent. It's about Fury/Lewis earning a legacy by consistently performing at the highest level.

    The Rolling Stones/Elvis Presley are who they are based one great song after another, year after year, not a few great hits at their peak.

    Confident that Fury beats them all save for Vitali, who he might not beat. But obviously Fury hasn’t shown the same interest as being great like Lewis did, so unfair to take best 4 best.
