I can name you two -- Haseem Rahman and Oliver McCall. Both knocked Lewis out with one punch. Also, he didn't brutally avenge his loss to McCall. The fight was stopped when McCall had a nervous breakdown in the ring -- falling to his knees and crying like a man who had just lost a loved one.

I think he's respected enough, not overrated and not underrated. I have him at number 10 on my list. I still think that Prime Evander and Prime Tyson could have beat him. It's actually Klitards who overate him, they just want to pump up Vitali winning 4 rounds against him

Briggs was a good night out as well. Not sure how much credence to give him for Holy and Tyson as all parties were past prime. He really should've rematched Vitali. Lennox won that fight but not the event and it has haunted his legacy a bit. Overall, I really respect Lennox's reign as champion although he could be china chinned, subject to weight fluctuation, and sometimes suffered from arrogance which would cost him. I'd place him Top 10 ATG, barely.
I picked him to beat Tyson early on in his career but the Tyson he fought was admittedly past prime.
Pretty hard for me to overlook him as a top 10 pick everything considered.
