Lennox Lewis is one of the most underrated champions of all times. Shame shame shame.

Floyds TBE. He'd kill Lennox.

Lennox ducked Wladimir Klitschko when Lewis was Ring Champ and Wlad was Ring #1 contender, from late 2000 to early 2003.

You can't possibly believe that.

He was about to get a fight, but then he got knocked spark out.

lewis is top 10 or even 15.........no where close to top 5.

I rate him very high around 5 or 6 but can see arguments the other way

[LacedUp]

To the question.

Sometimes he's certified top 10 for me. When I go into details more, he's not.

But I'll say top ten. If I broke it down, I don't think he has a top 10 resume though.

No, he tried and tried to get a fight with Lennox for THREE years.

Then he lost his focus because he wasn't able to get the fights he wanted, and had to settle for Sanders who he didn't take seriously as an opponent.

in no order

Holmes
louis
johnson

hollyfield


i could easily add 5 more making it debatable of lewis being at 10 (let alone top 5)

OK, so because someone wants to get a fight for years and don't get it, means they are being ducked? That makes no sense to me.

Wlad had a good ranking from 2001-2003, but the Tyson fight was 1 million times more attractive to everyone involved than a Wlad fight. By the time Lewis fought again, Wlad had been stopped.

Before that, Lewis had to focus on a rematch with Rahman.

He absolutely did not duck Wlad, actually I believe he said he was upset when he lost because he wanted to fight him.
