    Holyfield must be ahead of Lewis p4p. And clearly IMO.

    Holy was a cruiser, and Lennox was a much bigger, taller and heavier HW.

    Both had great resumes, both have beaten 10+ title beltholders at HW. Holy scored some very good wins at CW too.
    Holy beat 7 different lineal HW champions to Lewis' 4.

    Excellent list. Hey man, nobody agrees with anyones list entir e ly. Yours is solid. I love S a m as 1. Lewis was a great fighter and I can't wait till my book on the Basher arrives. Lennox was great a nd avoided like the plague.
    Face it, about 45 different guys ccould be legit top 20 fights , with 10 or more in position to be #1. Your list is a solid compliment to other li sts in history.
    P. S. I love where you have Walker.

    This is a very old list, I really don't agree with it tbh.

    Thanks for the kind words tho.

    You may need to think more about Duran's lightweight reign of terror. He was 63-1 when he left 135 for the last time and reigned for 5+ years with heaps of defenses and a unification.

    Having said that i enjoy seeing Leonard well up there.

    I wonder if Joe Louis could sneak up a bit. Guys Ike Williams, Zarate, Holman Williams, Canzoneri, McGovern and Azumah Nelson would have come close among others i reckon.
