Tyson,Barrera,Morales,Gomez,Benitez

Well im not only using my opinion, im using the opinions of others, guys that watched boxing thier entire lives.

Lennox has a much better chance to beat ali, louis, holmes, johnson and foreman than barrera does of beating pep, saddler, argeullo and kid chocolate. I actually think ali is better than any featherweight.

 

I use different criteria when ranking fighters: Ability, resume, longevity, and accomplishments.

Seeing as you put so much stock in lists compiled by experts, I'll refer you to ESPN's top 50 of all time. It was made in 2007 and features Marco Antonio Barrera but no Lennox Lewis. The list is of course rubbish...but you'd probably find it quite compelling.

Yeah they could last, but my thinking is that lennox has a better chance against holmes or ali than barerra does against argeullo. Maybe im crazy, but thats just how i see it. Lennox-Holmes could go either way, 50/50. But i just think argeullo would be too much to handle for barrera or morales, his one punch knockouts are amazing.

I'm no hater though if thats what people think, i have barrera comfortably above gomez all times.

 

You sure sound like a hater Brownpimp. You've took a giant dump over Barrera and Morales in this thread...and I hate when posters do that just to suit their agenda.

Smarten up.

 

He took the same shot John Ruiz took.

 

At the end of the day...it's all speculation anyhow. Nobody knows how Lennox Lewis would do against the likes of Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, or Joe Louis. What we do know, without much doubt, is that Barrera and Morales beat better fighters than Lennox did and demonstrated a similar level of longevity.

 

Morales also lost both trilogies. Lewis could have beaten a prime larry holmes once in 3 fights, but that would make him look bad, not good.

Morales also lost to zahir raheem and was shot by the age of 30.

Morales beat greater fighters than chavez and jofre too, lets rank him higher than both. He lost the rubber matches in both trilogies, and that will be held against him.

Morales's status as an elite fighter was 1997-2004, after that he kept losing.

 

Lennox didn't fight Holmes. Pipe down.

That ****ing ****...how dare he get shot at age 30. I'm going to disregard his entire prime years as a result.

Jofre and Chavez were both multiple weight world champions.

Resume isn't the only factor when ranking fighters...but it's more of a factor for Heavyweights because moving through the divisions isn't an option.

...That dirty *******! How dare he spent the best part of a decade fighting the best fighters in the world and going through numerous wars.
