'Lennox Lewis is not an ATG' IronDanHamza

[billeau2]

You did not clarify this.

You could have at least talked about Lewis with more class. You go on to say that 'Wladimir is ranked below Lewis' but than started bashing Lewis by calling guys like Ruddock, Golota, and Tua 'bums'. And 'no names worth mentioning'

Of course Lewis is not an ATG P4P. He is a top 15-5 Heavyweight (Depending on who's doing the rankings) nobody argue with that.

The way you wrote it made it sound like you don't even admit Lewis is an ATG Heavyweight.

Ruddock isn't a nobody you know. He was a good heavy and took an elite Tyson to the deep end twice. Golota dominated Bowe twice.. ya he had mental issues but he was a slight favorite heading into the Lewis fight and the way Lewis demolished him in 1 round is impressive.

Nobody is saying Ruddock or Golota are ATG Heavyweights, but people are saying the way Lewis DOMINATED them in 1-2 rounds was impressive.

Golota and Ruddock are much more dangerous than a 40 year old Tony Thompson at least. You don't see Wlad doing that to Thompson in 1 round.


Once again, your trash talking of Lewis went a bit too far and you know it. When a great poster suddenly lower himself with insults that indicates we found the great poster's bias. In your case.. it's anti Lewis.

Lets deal with your points sans the hyperbole and obvious butt chafe that this run in with iron Dan produced.

I think your point about Ruddock and Golata...and in fact to virtually all of Lewis' career is partially valid. The fact is that Golata was very good, he beat Bowe up in addition to his fouls. Also Ruddock has been a history of the revisionists...At the time he was considered very good and most people thought he would destroy Lewis. Lewis beat a lot of very good fighters who were only declared second rate AFTER he beat them. For example, Michael Grant and Shannon Briggs.

And the argument that Lewis never had a career defining win is because he had many.

If a man like Lennox doesn't make the list, it doesn't bode well for a hell of a lot of fighters today then.
