    Wanting to know more opinions on the best boxers...

    Most regard Ali as the greatest heavyweight of all time (and if not, the greatest of the last 50 years) so I was wondering who people reckon the best since is?

    For me, I'd go Lennox Lewis.

    Lewis for me. Put him in with all the others listed and I believe he could beat every one of them at his absolute best.

    Nope. An old, fat, semi retired Lewis beat a prime Vitali K and would have shattered his little brother's glass mandible into a thousand pieces had someone not beat him to it. :deal

    :lol: cool story. Lewis chin makes Wlad's look like granite. Lewis got 1 punch KO'd twice in 44 pro fights, Wlad has only been legitimately knocked out once in 65 pro fights and has never finished a fight off of his feet.
    Anyways, they both are legends neither one has to be diminished in favor of the other.

    Between Lewis and Holmes.
    Leaning towards Holmes though.

    Holyfield a G but his losses to his contemporaries rule him out of contention.
