    Who ranks higher all time, Klitschko's or Lewis?

    Imo Lewis should rank higher, im from russia so I should favor Klitschko more due to him being Ukrainian. But i don't let that cloud my judgement, Lewis is the greater fighter when it comes to both resume and h2h. so who ranks higher all time in your oppinion, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko or Lennox Lewis?

    lewis and its not even close, imo anyone who doesn't have lewis in their top 7/8 HW's of all time immediately loses all credibility. imo lewis is a top 5 HW.

    but you raise an interesting point - where do people see vlad and vitali on the all time lists? vitali is without doubt the better fighter and is worthy of mention alongside other greats. in hypothetical head to head match ups the respect for his abilities is apparent as many people feel he could beat the likes of holyfield, foreman, tyson, frazier etc.

    vlad may not have all the physical tools but its hard to ignore the huge body of work over his entire career. he is the man at HW and has beat just about every fighter (save vitali) that has come into the top 10.

    personally i have vitali ranked higher but not by much, would be interested to see what others think...

            Lewis easily. despite his 2 losses to B level guys and his loss IMO to Mercer, the man was the best HW for about 10 years

                    Lewis beat Vitali so will rank higher, Plus wins over several big name fighters (even if they were past it) help him out.
