    If I were to indulge this, I'd say he'd be bumped up to three on my list, where Holmes currently resides.

    Maybe man! That would make him a 3 time linear champ just like Ali. Tough Call. But if he beats Wlad,he would have to go against Vitali because of the evil Klitschko contract clauses. I'm sure he would score a TKO6 over Vitali again.

    If Israel Vazquez came out of retirement right now, with 80% scar tissue around his eyes, and somehow landed a date with Pacquiao and somehow knocked him out...it wouldn't make him the GOAT, or even close to it.


    That isn't really how it works. :good

    Yes, yes he would. Quite surprising Lewis's fan boys have never called for this during the last 5 years or so.

    I am a Lewis hater.....

    But is he NOT the GOAT HW already?

    H2H, noone touches him.

    Resumewise......he fought everyone who dared except the SPs.:think

    It would actually just go to show how pathetic this Heavyweight era is... It wouldn't do anything for his legacy

    We all already know he's good. He's legit. And we all pretty much already know Wilder is nothing but power waiting to get chin checked... I repeat, it wouldn't do much for his legacy, it would just show how pathetic this era is

    Imo Lewis would have beaten Ali, he was too big for him, he schooled Holyfield and Tyson.

    Underated great Imo.

    Louis is not top tier, he beat tin cans and got schooled during his prime against a no hoper

    Ali, yes he is top tier
    Invincible chin, black slick movement, mind games, excellent boxer, decent power h considering they called him feather fisted

    Lewis is top tier
    Dominated a very strong era in the 90s
    His two losses were both ridiculous losses, he avenged easily and he never lost when he went into a fight prepared

    List on and Holmes are both very very high second tiers

    Both excellent skill sets, amazing ability, just lacking the X factor of Ali and Lewis
