    I have Lennox as my #7 Heavyweight of all time. As time passes by Lennox's resume and career look better and better.

    Personally I would favour Lewis vs all HW fighters on a H2H basis.
    Size advantage, KO power, ring smarts, stamina, decent chin.

    Without giving it much thought, fights with a prime Tyson or a prime Bowe would be REALLY exciting.

    I don't know why, but I think a prime Holyfield could trouble Lewis...

    You really think Marciano (190lbs) could beat Lewis (240lbs) in an h2h match-up?? Or Dempsey (190lbs)?

    I think Ali could beat him possibly, I don't fancy Foreman or Frazier though.

    Prime Holyfield could trouble anyone. He was The Warrior.

    that was not my head to head list just my all time list. I do not have a h2h top 10 but if I did Lennox would certainly be near the top.

    We are in agreement on Lewis then.

    Do you really think Frazier was a better heavyweight p4p than Lewis though? World heavyweight champ for a total of 3 years, knocked senseless by Foreman twice, lost 4 times and won once in the 5 fights with the 2 best fighters on his resume? I like Frazier but I think he was very overrated on account of one incredible performance v Ali. I can't rank him even equal with Lewis.

    Bowe blatantly ducked Lewis, probably aware that he would be KTFO.

    Back to Holyfield - the first fight was a SCHOOLING. The second was much closer, but at least the right man was given the nod.

    Frazier does not match up at all well with Lewis H2H from where I'm sitting. I really can't see him getting in, he does not have the movement and athletic gifts of a prime Tyson to achieve that.

    I would say Holmes and Tyson would be his biggest H2H worries.

    Keep in mind Frazier only lost to Ali (who he beat once) and Foreman both ATG's. My list is not based on h2h or pound 4 pound (which I think P4P is the biggest joke in Boxing) it is just my opinion on the top 10 ATG's at Heavyweight and like I said earlier it changes quite often but not by much. :good

    Lennox was one of the most effective for sure, but he was also too lumbering for my taste. Never really liked watching him fight. I'd take the more nimble, quicker Holmes over him for one. A prime Tyson is pretty much 50/50 as well. Liston could very well stop him. Ali, etc.
