    :dealcome on guys. this is either a troll thread or a poorly thought out one. i'm leaning towards troll. lewis is top 10 based on skills and resume. any argument that his size negates him is ridiculous

    It's a find-and-replace thread with "Lewis" substituted for "Wlad" based on the many threads bitter Haye fans/Klitschko haters made after the domination of Haye earlier this month. I wouldn't be surprised if it was taken word for word from one of those threads. The whole point is the stupidity of "super heavyweight" arguments and P4P arguments WITHIN a single division.

    Straight from the horse's mouth people, even Lewis' trainer admits he was using an unfair advantage. Might as well have used PEDs.

    He sure is, steroids aren't tolerated in the sport, why should the likes of Lewis be allowed to outweigh his opponents by 30 kgs with a 7 inch height advantage?

    It's even worst than that! Known PED users couldn't overcome all of the great advantage Lewis had. Hell! Evan Fields, OOP's!!:oops: I mean Evander Holyfield found that out..........

    i dont rank his wins over tyson and holyfield much at all. holyfield was 3 or 4 years past HIS prime and tyson some could say close to 15. so i think he is overrated based on i think both those guys would have ****ed his world up in their primes. however your size and pound for pound comaprison is silly mainly bc p for p is a myth not real and any man thats over 200 pounds is a heavyweight and capable of delivering a knock out blow so u need to come with some other reasons. his size helped but thats part of it bigger guys have disadvangtages with cardio so there ya go. O and also lennox lewis lost (lewis got bs decision) to ray mercer who holfield beat the **** out of when mercer was at his best.

    LL is smart and lucky.
    Smart because he decided to face Tyson and Holyfield when they could not really be a challenge to him( and still he struggles with both of them).
    Lucky because he should have lost to Vitaly.
    Still I respect him. He is an ATG.

    SInce when does using height make you not a good fighter? Thats like saying Ali isnt a good as boxer as ____ because he just uses his speed. You use the attributes you have.

    Lewis is top 7 at worst.

    A placement K2 can only dream of.
