    Top ten in terms of resume and achievements. H2H maybe breaks into top 5.

    Lennox Lewis did not have a bum of the month club, nor was there any fighter alive he refused to face that was ever deemed to be threat to his reign. When he put it in the line with Ruddock, everyone thought he was crazy. But he emerged the best of the 90's contenders quickly.
    His reign had many quality still in their prime opponents like Tucker, Bruno, Morrison, Mercer, Golata Tua... ect...
    And when tasked with facing his ATG peers (Who were both about the same age) he took their scalps too.
    Lewis had many ways to beat his opposition, Seek and Destroy, Box smoothly behind his ram rod jab and sledgehammer right, fight inside and counter...he could do it all and switch as needed. he had a great amatuer pedigree that made him a swiss army knife of a boxer.
    With Emanuel Stewart he was transformed into a near peerless ATG.
