    IMO Lewis should be above Holmes. But you could make the argument for both Spinks and Hollyfield being p4p better simply because they are two weight world champs who stepped out of their comfort zones to win the additional titles.

    The counter argument is that it's not Lewis' fault that he is so big.

    It's dependant upon criteria.

    There are mistakes here of course (Langford and Tiger are far to low for me) but the guys being critical should perhaps post their own top hundreds so we can get a look.

    Seems likely that most don't have one because it would be a tough thing to put together.

    Here is my top 3:

    #1 Robinson
    #2 Langford
    #3 Armstrong

    And that was a proper hard job.

    Do you really think so? I think he is to high. Let's hear your case for Oscar being above Hearns, including your profection for a dream-match at WW.

    Fair question. Where is Holman Williams is the one i'd be keener to have answered though.

    NICE analogy, but there are bound to be plenty of fighters left of a list like this.

    His resume is a little weak because he was without doubt avoided.

    3 wins over Burley.

    Archie Moore

    Burt Lytell

    Cocoa Kid [lost the series]

    Lloyd Marshall x2

    Jack Chase x4

    Eddie Booker


    I beg to differ sir. These are his best wins and they form a core better than most of the other boys on your list.

    In Burley and Booker we have two fighters i'd be happy to set against anyone, ever at WW and MW respectively. The split series with Burley is worth more to me than Ali's series with Joe.

    I'd put Marshall near the top of any H2H LHW list.
