Stop trashing his accomplishments. He beat the best of his era handily. Stop finding reasons to trash this Hall of Famer. Based on retiring on top. Based on retiring under his own terms. Did I mention the Hall of Fame status? Based on his Olympic accomplishments. Based on his Amatuer background. I can go on and on. Please stop trashing the good people of the sport just for a failing arguement

Originally posted by General Zod View PostWhat top fighters did he beat, according to you? Surely you must have some idea otherwise you cant defend you position.
solid wins over
tyrell biggs
razor ruddock
tony tucker
frank bruno
tommy morrison
ray mercer (distputed in some circles)
henry akinwande
andrew golota
shannon briggs (was still classed as lineal champ)
evander holyfield (clearly won the first and won the 2nd)
michael grant (considered the next best thing because of hes passport)
francois botha
david tua
mike tyson (imo would of beat any version of tyson but even in the faded version still nice to have to name sake)
vitaly klitschko(ppl talk about this fight because lewis was behind after 5 but championship fights are fought over 12 rounds and at time of stoppage both fighters was blowing out there arses but lewis was getting into the task)
hes loses to mccal and rahman hurt hes legacy but at least he avenged both defeats which looks nice in history
now disect me toneys

Are these elite fighters to you? Bruno was a C class fighter at best. Ruddock was shot to hell after two wars with Tyson, why aren't you taking any of this stuff into account? Mercer deserved a rematch and Lewis never gave him one either
