Where does Lennox Lewis rank among the best heavyweights of all time

Lewis have a win over an ATG and thats against Vitali, who was prime there. He beat Holyfield and Tyson as well. Its not his problem if they was prime or not, its their fault.
You can say for everyone when he lose, that he is not in his prime ...
Lennox have pretty, pretty good resume.

 

I agree Holyfield ranks higher than Lewis overall as a boxer.

But that is factoring in his cruiserweight career.

I think solely on heavyweight career, Lewis is above Holyfield

 

1- tyson
2- ali
3- holmes
4-foreman
5- lewis
6- louis
7- holyfield
8- frazier
9- bowe
10-johnson

You have Tyson at 1. You have Louis at 6. You have Bowe at 9.

YDKSAB.

 

I rate Lennox Lewis Top 12-15. Here is a look at his best fights.

Ruddock - Damaged Goods after 2 brutal beatings from Tyson.
Bruno - Gave Lewis a boxing lesson. Lucky punch ending!
Tucker - recovering Drug Addict.
Jackson - Who?
Butler - Who?
McCall - Journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Fortune - Who?
Morrison - HIV
Mercer - Fortunate decision for Lewis.
Akinwande - Pathetic bout to watch, both guilty holding.
Golota - Steroid freak who took panic attack in dressing room
Mavrovic - Who?
Holyfield - Over the hill ex champ
Holyfield - Holyfield "Robbed of Decision"
Grant - Laughable. challenger was pathetic fool
Botha - Steroid Freak, Drug Addict
Tua - Fattest man to ever fight for title.
Rahman - Journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Tyson - Ex champ addicted to Alcohol, Cocaine & Cannabis
Vitali - Fortunate win for Lewis.

Lewis avoided between 93-03 Holmes 93, Bowe 93 & 95, Moorer 97, Tyson 96, Foreman 95, Sanders 94-98, Ruiz 99-03, Byrd 00-03, Wlad 98-03 ... All the above fighters held a version of the Heavyweight title between 93-03 and was avoided by Lennox Lewis who chose to fight hand-picked Class C fighters who was all exposed or on the downside of their careers.

 

Cant agree and not Lewis, but Tyson didnt want any part of Lewis.

 

On boxing sites for about 15 years now and this has to rank as one of the worst posts I've ever read. It's so flawed that there's no point even responding to it. Just for starters, when Lewis lands a punch and wins, it's a lucky punch, but when he's on the receiving end of it, he's poleaxed.

Ya that's balanced alright.

 

Rid**** Bowe says No!

 

its so bad.

eg. Morrison=HIV

...contracted long after they fought.

bit like claiming that liston fought a parkinsons victim ali.

 

i agree with everything you said here except francois botha is no drug addict and never was ...he very religious in fact :deal

 

Gotta be top 5. Some guys say top 3 and you could make an argument for that.

 

top 10 but he beat a lot of guys past their prime ala mi9ke weaver /tyrell biggs / razor ruddock/ evander holyfield / ...he had good wins also in his prime vs bruno ...tucker was not shot ...mercer ..golota ...grant ..tua ..botha ...

 

Great post Golota was also drugged and Tyson was on tranquillisers during the fight

Lennox Lewis is not an ATG

 

Are u a bit of a spastic?

 

1. Ali
2. Louis

Foreman, Holmes and Lewis are always interchangeable for next 3 slots for me depending on my mood lol.

Lewis is a top 5 HW possibly top 3.

 

This is why the site should have a minimum IQ requirement before posting. I've read some drivel but this about takes the biscuit you enormous spazzy bellend.
