Who was Lennox Lewis's best PRIME opponent

vitali, then tua and mercer

 

Tua wasn't prime.

As for the answer, Vitali.

 

Tua Prime or not was rubbish. Mercer was 36, cannot be considered Prime. It has to be Vitali in terms of youth and quality.

 

Zico Merovik
Vitali.

It ends there.

 

Tua was overweight and in bad shape.

The Vitali that turned up for the Lewis fight is the best version of Vitali. Not debatable. 7 years as a professional. 33 fights out of a 47 fight long career. Extensive amateur career. Tasted defeat and injury already, and knew how to handle it. What version was better?

 

No, but I thought we were only talking about the guys he beat while they were in their prime?

I think you could make a case for Morrison being on the lower end of his top 10 wins.

 

Ruddock would be high on that list.

 

The Morrison Lewis faced was on the downhill, i believe his reckless party life style had finally taken its toll on Morrisson, he didn't look as quick and sharp as he did from 1988-91.

Morrison had one of the most girliest chins as well, there was no way he would have given Lewis any serious problems.

 

Ruddock says otherwise. He claims the Tyson war's finished him and that Lewis got him at the right time. These are his own words.
