    Top 3 yes, but you can't over leap Louis and Ali. There were more than just great fighters.

    No, even if he comes back and KTFO Both Klit sisters in 1 night he ain't on par with Ali and Louis, i might consider giving Holmes spot at 3 though

    Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

    THE FACTS

    Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

    Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, outlanded and outboxed by Vitali.

    punches landed

    Vitali 156

    Lewis 102


    Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

    After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****. The whole crowd cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis.

    Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

    Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The gutless coward Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

    Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

    Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement.

    George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

    Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

    Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

    Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

    Vitali got robbed. The corrupt doctor and ref were on Lennox's payroll.

    It should've been a TD win for Vitali.

    Official Scorecards:

    Pat Russell: Vitali 58-56
    James Jen-Kin: Vitali 58-56
    Tom Kaczmarek: Vitali 58-56

    Other Scorecards:

    HBO: Vitali 58-56

    Sky Sports: Vitali 58-56

    Lennox's mom: Vitali 58-56


    Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

    Lewis was 37 when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

    Vitali is 41 and is still dominating.

    Lewis was coming off the win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

    In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

    Lewis was badly hurt several times, almost KO'd, outworked, outslugged, outmuscled, outboxed, outlanded 156-102, dominated and retired by Vitali.

    Vitali and Wlad have both easily surpassed Lewis.

    Lewis will be remembered as a gutless coward who got his ass whooped by Vitali, blatantly ducked a rematch and retired with his tail between his legs.

    get a life ******, no one reads your dick sucking novels you post. Look at Vitali's eye in that gif, he is ****ed son!!!! one more round and his career would have been over, Lewis was tagging that robot at will. Nothing will change the fact that Lewis beat the **** out of Vitali's face so badly that he was unfit to continue....that my friend in boxing is what you call a TKO *****. No matter how many times you post your dicksucking novel posts it ain't gonna change the fact that Lewis ****ed up Vitali's face, was tagging him at will and was on his way to stopping him.:deal:deal:deal:deal Also no amount of your klithugging ***gotry is gonna change the opinion of boxing fans and experts alike that Lewis is a ceritified top 5 ATG and the neither Klit come close to even cracking the top 10 on ANY ONE RESPECTED BOXING EXPERT/PUNDITS list

    think I'll go with the opinion of the experts and knowledgable fans who unlike you have been watching boxing since before 2004 and aren't russina/ukrainian with a bias for local fighters.

    He would have an argument, but I'd say no. The GOAT would have rematched Vitali instead of listening to his mommy. That's not a GOAT move. :bart

    1. No. He would become #3 or #2, imo.

    2. It will never happen.
