Joe doesn't have any 1-punch KO/TKO loses on his ledger, let alone two of them. Kind of hard to have any such things when you've never lost.

 

LL easily

 

Thing is though, Joe spent most of his career at 168 did he not? Not nearly as likely to be KO'd with one punch at that weight, as opposed to heavyweights well in excess of 200 lbs. Almost anyone can be starched with a shot right on the button in the heavyweight division.

 

Lewis, he was in a much stronger division, never ducked anyone and beat all the top guys. His resume is way wayyyy better.

 

I think the better question is whose win was more impressive, Lewis over Tyson or Calzaghe or RJJ?

 

Lennox he fought better opponents, but Calzaghe has had a good career as well.

 

Yeah, that's true. But don't tell Roy that (at LHW):

I don't agree that Lewis' competition was necessarily "better" than Calzaghe's or that the division was stronger.

However, no question that Lewis never ducked anyone for most of his career. And I'd say that probably gives him the edge over Calzaghe.

 

Never ducked anyone, ever. Didn't need to, he was the best. Well, unless someone wants to make the argument that Lennox Lewis ducked John Ruiz, which I have heard some make, its always good for a laugh :rofl

 

lennox lewis fought consistently better competition
