    Naturally his most important victory was against Evander Holyfield for the Indusputed Heavyweight Championship but probably his most impressive wins were against Phil Jackson, Oliver McCall, Andrew Golota, Shannon Briggs, Michael Grant, Hasim Rahman and Mike Tyson.

    phil jackson...the coach of the bulls!?

    olive ko'd him. he did nothing to oliver while he had his meltdown in the ring.

    michael grant was a pup.

    ko'in hasim after hasim starched him was impressive.

    the mike he fought was a shell of his former self.

    Holyfield is the best win on his record, and I don't subscribe to the view that the version that Lewis beat was over the hill. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Holyfield's heavyweight prime was, because as he aged and slowed down he also grew into the division and appeared physically stronger. He was always inconsistent at the higher division, and I think a 92/93 Holyfield-Lewis fight follows a similar pattern, albeit at a faster pace.

    Vitali is a very good win at that stage of his career, especially in light of Klitschko dominance in the post-Lewis era. Based on the win, Lewis will always be ahead of Vitali in any alltime ranking, and as Vitali's resume grows so too will Lewis' by proxy. The inconclusive nature of the win though makes it hard to list it as his defining fight.

    Holy ****! some of you are living in the Matrix, unplug yourselves from Klit World,as for you Vlad "Neo" the Nazi, I think you are nearing to a mental breakdown you are clearly displaying classic OCD symptoms. It must be horrible for you to have your reality slapped by the rest of us on an hourly basis. I know it bothers you because you really believe this **** and don't understand why the rest of us don't all kneel in front of Vitali shouting "Your the ****ing Daddy Vitali! You would spark Ali out in 3 rounds!!! and yes you ****ing raped that black ***** Lewis even though you were ****ing battered in 6 rounds and stopped". This will never ever ****ing happen, most sane objective boxing fan rate them as poor to average in terms of competition faced and as such will NEVER be rated as highly as Ali or Louis as champs. So stop tarding on Lewis because the far right told you the Klit's were superior to everyone else "BECAUSE THEIR WHITE AND BIGGER AND THEREFORE THE BEST" because they suck **** on more than a couple of levels.

    Oh I almost forgot your breath DOES stink and you do smell a bit, and no Hitler WAS wrong and a twat.

    One more thing.....

    TKO6=Loss=No Legitimate Legacy=Poor Opposition=Quitting on stool to MW=Best fights all losses=Having to fight each other losses= PEDS=FAR FROM THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHTS OF ALL TIME.

    Close the door on the way out you Chav Bafoon.

    No the reality is both brothers are dull to watch and have no balls, Do you think Ali would quit on his stool like a ****ing *** against a SMW ? or get raped by a ****ing golfer for ****'s sake!
