Although I have no problem with Lewis being considered a top 10 Atg, I don't believe he is a top 3, especially not " easily".
Ali and Louis are 1st and second in whatever order you like.
After those two, it is not so obvious, but guys like Holmes, Marciano, Frazier, Foreman, Dempsey, Jack Jhonson, Sonny Liston and Ezzard Charles all have a case for being in a top 10.
Also Holyfield , Tyson and Patterson are in the mix, maybe to a slightly lesser extent.

Of course. Highly skilled fighter with a very good resume. Lennox is the best heavyweight of his era.

I have Lewis at TOP 10 (on most days).
Joe Louis
Muhammad Ali
Larry Holmes
would win 4 out 5 fights. (IMHO)
Jack Johnson
Sonny Liston
George Foreman
Evander Holyfield (a younger version - we're talking about prime v prime here)
would beat LL 3 out of 5. (again IMHO)
Mike Tyson (with his head screwed on straight -- a big if)
Riddick Bowe
Joe Frazier
Ernie Shavers
Ken Norton
would be toss-ups. The list get's too long. LL is an ATG.
TOP 10 at best.Last edited by bklynboy; 10-07-2013, 11:34 AM.
