lennox lewis is the best heavyweight ever!

Lewis on his day could beat any heavyweight in the history of the sport.

 

Lewis could beat any heavyweight on a given night except Ali and Louis

He also is the only top 10 heavyweight who could lose to a fighter

not in the top 50 on any given night

 

Other fighters have beaten guys in that list in a more convincing fashion though. Like Douglas and Tyson, or Bowe and Holyfield. Hell, a 42 year old Holmes beat the **** out of Mercer for 12 rounds, while Lewis struggled with him for 12. You could actually make an argument that Mercer beat him. Bruno gave him hell. Ruddock was a good fighter, but he was still very beatable. Ive never even heard of Akiwande so that shows something about him. Rahman wasn't that good. Morrison was a good fighter, but again, he was very beatable. McCall had a granite chin, but he wasn't exactly great. You named a bunch of good fighters, and the 2 that were great were way past it.

 

Not Holmes. Not a prime Tyson. Not Foreman. Not Marciano. Not Liston.

 

I guess thats why Mercer almost beat him right? And thats why Bruno gave him hell. And why McCall and Rahman beat him right?

 

Foreman stated he could never have beaten Lewis, He would give Liston a boxing lesson, and I damn sure give him at least a 50/50 chance against Tyson and Marciano...**** that, I say he beats Marciano 3 out of 4 times.

 

Lewis would be lucky to make the top 10, let alone number 1. What the hell are you smoking? Or you could just be a "Dee Dee Dee"

1.He KO's a shot to hell Tyson (wow what accomplishment)
2.Beat Holyfield in their 1st fight (draw), got a make good decision in the 2nd fight in which Holyfield in the publics eye won.
3.Was given the decision against Mercer (which most spectators thought he lost)
4. Got knocked TFO by a drug addict McCall
5. Got knocked TFO by a Hasim (the no chin) Rahman

Has never once displayed great heart, like all great champions do.

He could never really capture the fans hearts and minds, that's why most fans don't rate him very highly.

Also, if you want to check out resumes. Holyfields makes Lewis' look like a joke!

 

According to George Foreman Lennox is the greatest Heavyweight of all time,

Man...you can name any boxer in the history of the sport and I guarantee you they have a disputed win...and everyone with the exception of finito lopez and marciano have never lost...but to just give 5 reasons and 2 of them being fights he won, the other two being the ONLY fights he lost (which he avenged by perhaps the most vicioius heavyweight knockout ever in Rahman's case) and your last reason being a draw WHICH MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WON...What do you mean no heart or no fans...the HW division died since he left that's why most fans wish he would unretire to pump some life back into that joke of a division...when he fought he was the recognized champ period...everyone knew it, no one argued it. Who's the champ now?

 

I'm a HUGE Lennox Lewis fan (even named my dog Lennox) but I just can't give him the nod over The Greatest. You could certainly make an argument for Lennox anywhere in the top 5, even as high as #2 but you can't put him at #1. Head to head, I'll go with a prime, motivated Lennox Lewis over virtually anyone. The only 3 fighters I give a chance to are Holmes, Liston & Ali, in that order.

 

Read the man's entire post, carefully.

And remember, anyone on the top 20 Alltime list COULD beat anone else on that list ON A GIVEN DAY.

Folks rank the order based on who they think would win MOST OF THE TIME.

My list has Lennox third or fourth, but on a given day he COULD beat Ali and Louis (My #1 and #2).

Re your list above, I would say Prime Lennox beats all of them but Foreman, MOST of the time.

 

Big George was just being modest.

I have Ali and Louis at the top of my list in that order.

Then comes Lewis and Foreman in no particular order.
Then Holmes and Marciano, again in no particular order.
Then Liston, Tyson and Frazier in that order.

I think Lennox would beat Foreman about half the time, and beat every other fighter (except Ali and Louis) MOST of the time.

 

In my opinion Lennox is the best since THE GREATEST!!!!! ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

no question he is in the top 10 all-time and i have him usually floating between 5-7.

-great in head-to-head
-one of if not the most physically talented of the atgs
-2 bad ko losses, occasional lack of motivation and focus, and the fact he is Europeon all hurt him in my opinion when it comes to his ranking

 

Lennox Loser is a punkass joke. Unretire? Are you shitting me? Have you seen him lately? He's fat and old looking, and I mean he is fat, 40 to 50 pounds heavier than when he fought. Man, I don't know what world your living in but who the hell is crying for Lewis to comeback??? He got out at the right time, he was done and Klit was showing him the door. I'll give Lewis credit for being smart, he knows he's done.
