Where do you rank Lennox Lewis on the ATG list??

top 40 of all time top 10 HW

Hell yeah, Lennox is not untouchable in the top ten but his career cements him as a top ten. I rank him as the third HW because he avenged alll his losses, beat all the challengers, stopped most of them. He has a who's who of HW from the end of the 80es til the beginning of the 2000. Moreover, he had all the tools that make a great complete heavyweight: skills, a great jab, a right cross, good balance, footwork, power, heart and a good defense. I'd pick him over any other HW except Ali or probably Holmes( too close to call) Great post bro, I can't argue that....

I think Holmes is in the top 5... I have Holmes ahead of Lewis... Do you think a case could be made for the old timers like Jack Johnson or Jack Dempsey to be ahead of Lewis?

40 - 50 for me too. Top 10 Heavyweight for sure, I think he's underestimated he is..... lennox is one of the greatest of all time....

I have him in the 40-50 bracket. 40 - 50 for me too. Top 10 Heavyweight for sure, I think he's underestimated

I have him in the 40-50 bracket.

Difficult to say. I would think he'd be around 10-15 at HW. That would probably mean he'd enter a p4p ATG list between 60-80 I think.

I don't think Johnson or Dempsey should be ahead of Lewis. Lewis has a better resume than both of them, and also, I feel that he was a better fighter. Johnson had good defense, Dempsey was an all out brawler with killer power. But to me, Lewis was more complete.

Yes sir. Larry is top ten though. I think Holmes is in the top 5... I have Holmes ahead of Lewis... Do you think a case could be made for the old timers like Jack Johnson or Jack Dempsey to be ahead of Lewis?

Top 40 :boxing:

Yes sir. Larry is top ten though. Nah, man, Holmes is top 5.

Even higher than Larry Holmes? Yes sir. Larry is top ten though.

Top 25 P4P and top 3 heavyweight. After the 2 untouchables ( Louis and Ali), Lennox is my third best HW, higher than Foreman and Liston. Even higher than Larry Holmes?
