Lennox Lewis a top 10 heavy or not?

LL is definitely top 5. I also have him at #3 behind ali and louis.

Am sticking with my 'lucky punch' theory. It's the only way to explain what happened in that fight. Stop fighting me! Not preparing properly helps. But; I'm Not fighting you. You have your wish.

I agree with the previous poster. Lennox might not be the greatest HW - but on his A game he beats all others. Great fighter.

Head to head a prime Lennox has the chance to beat ANY HW in history. I think Foreman would give him the most consistent trouble though.

his resume is very impressive indeed

Top 10? " definitely, Hi mom " No seriously, i think he is deffo top 10.

It's only lucky if it came out of nowhere, but Rahman set up his punch after he dazed Lewis moments before. Rahman started to control the flow 4:52 Am sticking with my 'lucky punch' theory. It's the only way to explain what happened in that fight. Stop fighting me!

Definitely top 10, arguably top five. Stylistically, one of the toughest matchups. His HW resume is just too impressive.

i think calzaghe is a top 10 heavyweight. i mean he's never fought there but he definetly could isn't that the point? how could they stop him? a guy who throws 1000 punches with an iron chin? unbeatable!

alright everybody, i gotta go to work. Thanks for making this thread fun, 5 more pages till platinum. lol peace

"Most Deffintely"

i bet Ray Mercer disagrees with everybody in this thread :lol1:

Top 5. Apart of me feels that a Lennox Lewis on his best day is such a force, and good all rounder, intelligent, an immensely skilled modern athlete that it's difficult to actually class other ATG's as flat out and all round 'better'. It's difficult to accurately judge though, and there'd probably be more than one match with each of those guys and a possible avenge. I'll never forget Lewis' KO of Michael Grant. Just held his head down and swiped him to sleep with the other hand. One of the dirtiest KOs I ever saw. Lewis' destruction of Tyson was final. Lewis is definitely in top 15 heavies all time. A great champion. "God Bless".

My opinions are never wrong, just like yours. I don't like using IMO. It's only lucky if it came out of nowhere, but Rahman set up his punch after he dazed Lewis moments before. Rahman started to control the flow 4:52

Lewis deffo top 5 for me

My opinions are never wrong, just like yours. I don't like using IMO. everything chunk says is a fact. ;)

No it wasn't. Rahman hurt Lewis before the big punch. Lewis's problem may have been that he was not trained properly. He's lucky he got the rematch. Is Lewis a top 10: I always thought so. And I'm glad others see it as well. My opinions are never wrong, just like yours. I don't like using IMO.

The Rahman KO was the luckiest knock out in the history of boxing. nah...... tarver-jones 2 was. lennox was just out of shape. going to south africa late because he was filming a movie and the time of the fight didn't help.
