    We`ll have to wait and see, Usyk has far better moves than the basic Lewis and he would have easily beaten most of Lewis`s opponents.

    Lewis was far better than Bruno, in `93 when Lennox met Frank he was all over te place, he needed Steward to guide him.

    Ali was in a far better era.

    Lewis was nowhere near as skilled as Spence P4P and was easy to hit with the jab.

    the GOAT would never have been KO'd by Hasim Rahman and Oliver Mccall

    H2H prime Vitali Klitschko is the man. He gave Lewis a beating for most rounds on 2 weeks notice, never legitimately lost a fight. There's zero chance he would have ever got KO'd by Rahman and Mccall.

    Name someone better.

    GOAT means the greatest actual Boxer. Not the greatest in someone's imagination

    Name all the defensive moves he did compared to studies on Ali, name all the punches he usedd consistently, it was mainly 1-2`s taking advantage of his amazing reach, Tyson`s offence was far more creative than Lewis`s and Louis was a far better combio puncher, Walcott had more savvy and moves than Lewis.

    I disagree with the ops opinion. But it is just that. Opinion.

    Abstract.

    Name a better CV to Lewis. There's no-one remotely close.

    Vitali was better.

    But I'd put Lewis at #2, the only issue was his chin which Vitali had.
