    He schooled Mike Tyson. He outboxed Holyfield and frustrated Holyfield so much that Holyfield wanted to wrestle. He knocked Vitali Klitschko's head open so he had to be stopped. He beat even Hasim Rahman.

    I don't see other fighters having achieved that.

    McCall was lucky, as proven by the fact that McCall lost 11 fights, mainly to noobs, while Lennox Lewis beat Klitschko, Tyson and Holyfield, something far beyond what McCall has ever done. So suck your grandpa, troll.

    Many many great boxing people rate Lennox as top 3ATG and i have to agree, how many fighters beat everyone they face and then beat the next generations champ?

    The fact he gives klit fans sleepless nights 10years after retiring only adds to his immense greatness.no Lewis =no TKO6, it dosn't bear thinking about..

    Haven't you seen the fight?
    There was more blood than on an average Slayer concert.
    Vitali didn't go down, he lost like 1 liter of blood yet kept becoming stronger.

    Lewis was hanging on for his dear life, luckily he paid the doctor (and referee).
    Now his whole legacy is one tko that should have been a DQ.

    Just like Marciano and Tunney he is only ranked high because he defeated everybody (bums) he ever faced

    You lie like a Zionist. Lewis shouldn't be disqualified for anything. Vitali was badly hurt and cut by Lewis' power. He took damage from a punch he was unable to dodge. Imagine what damage he would have received if the fight kept going on. Lewis tore him apart. But Klitschko fought a brave match, although he obviously didn't win it :roll:

    Lewis thumbed Vitali, you can clearly see it.
    A man who couldn't tear up Tyson, does tear up a top 5 ATG is a bit strange.
    He was scared shitless, ducked Vitali.

    He is a cheat, a headbutter and his uppercut is overrated as he frequently pushed people their head in the uppercut.

    Vitali DQ 6 Lewis

    If Lennox "marshmellow chin" Lewis is the best, Vitali is Sugar Nikolai Valuev.

    Not sure if this is a troll or not.

    Schooled a Tyson 12 years past his best. I'm a Lewis fan but this wasn't nearly as significant as it looks on paper, maybe even the Holyfield victory too, even though it was decent. Wins as good or considered his best performances were probably against guys like Golota, McCall 2, Briggs etc. He should never have got beaten by Rahman.

    I have Lewis about 5-6 in my top 10 hw's. But Ali, Louis rank higher certainly, case can be made for others ranking higher too e.g. Marciano, Johnson, Dempsey, Holmes, Foreman.

    Of course he thumbed him, you hater, why wouldn't he, it tore up the cut even further so Klitschko maybe lasted 2 rounds less than he would if Lewis hadn't TKO6'ed him. It was a part of Lewis' strategy. He won. So shut the **** up and suck your uncle and kick your aunt.

    Now you admit Lewis his strategy was to tear up Vitali his face by any means necessary.
