    Lewis would beat almost every HW that ever lived, so this is hardly a valid point (though it is entirely accurate).

    Beat almost every heavyweight who ever lived? I don't know about all that. (Unless you're counting EVERY fat ******* who has ever laced up gloves, in which case you've got numbers on your side.)

    Hey, I love Lewis as a commentator and Trump contestent. He was fun to watch and would certainly give Wlad all he could handle (Which is what brother Vitali gave Lewis a fews years back). But rumours of his historic dominance have been greatly exagerrated.

    ... appart from Ali, Holmes and Liston, yeah you're pretty much right, McGrain. Did you catch the Wlad fight tonight? I saw bits and pieces and predicted a late TKO, but it looked far less convincing (on Wlads part) than I though it would.

    Based upon what?

    He beat everyone he ever faced and beat more ranked contenders than anyone since Louis.

    How dominat do you want him to be?

    Fascinating fight. Not very exciting though. Basically Wlad broke Thompson mentally with what's become his usual style, then went after him and KO'd him with a good right hand.

    Not fun or particularly impressive, but very affective.

    He's a great athlete and fun to watch he was up against id say the most awkward fighter in his career and still knocked him out.

    So which HW's in history would you make odds on faves against Lewis? Not too many I might add, how about you?

    Based upon a shaky chin, occasionally lazy and undisciplined style and the thinness of his division relative to other eras.

    Lewis was a very good heavyweight who dominated a weak era (which wasn't this fault).

    It's true!

    I wish there was a heavyweight present with the style of pac..that would turn this wladomania around.

    Add:
    Holmes
    Foreman
    Jack Johnson
    Liston
    Walcott
    Ezzard Charles

    Take Frazier off the 50/50 list and place in the "would win list."

    In the 50/50, add Marciano (only because of his size) and Dempsey (Same reason) and Cooney, because he could hit like a brick shithouse and Lewis has a suspect chin.
