    I have my reasons.

    One of my main reasons is that Lewis had such a physical advantage over many of his opponents that it's hard to rate him pound for pound in my opinion and I believe he is overrated because of these advantages. Holyfield for example is definitely above him in my rankings.

    Calzaghe is a 2 weight world champion, 46-0, never looked like losing, just 2 split decisions over 46 fights and an underrated resume.

    Lewis does have the slightly better resume but like I said he dwarfed a lot of his opponents.

    Lennox Lewis is overrated... hmmm....

    So you think when rating p4p we should throw away the physical advantages, eh? :huh

    The fact that he dwarfed a lot of opponents doesn't mean a bloody thing! Valuev dwarfs ALL of his opponents too, what does that mean?

    Anyway, I'm tired of repeating myself in this thread. If you like go back and read my posts, if you don't no problem. I just feel that 82% of ESBers have this one right.
