Who in history can match Lennox's resum'e?

[Yogi]

Yogi wasn't mad, he just saw an opportunity to give a lesser known great some badly deserved credit and recognition and he went with it.

I don't think Yogi can be mad right now, as I'm still on a bit of a high over the recent news of George Godfrey's induction into the Hall of Fame.

And I chose McLarnin because his resume is simply incredible...especially considering the limited number of fights he had, as McLarnin may just have the best resume of all-time on a quality opposition per fights ratio.

[Franko]

I included Oliver Mccall and Rahman because they were both champions. No one in history(HWD) has beaten 11 champions and no one ever will because today's fighters have less bouts and are afraid of unification matches.



I give him credit for taking the tough fights.. it's cute. but Lennox has a win over every opponent he ever faced.




Holyfield was Mr Invincible in 1999, and there is only a 3 year age difference between him and Lewis.

Tyson was, and I believe still is younger than Lennox



Its meaningful for 3 reasons

1. Both guys went on to dominate the same division in the same era, and this was the only match that ever occured between the two.

2. Lennox beat Bowe pretty freaking convinvingly. The punishment penetrated through the head gear.

3. Bowe flushed his Heavyweight belt down the toilet to avoid Lewis in the mid 90's.... That makes the amateur match an pwnage of epic proportions.



Ali's resum'e is comparable to Lennox, but the difference is Lennox has a win over every man he ever faced(HWD).

I agree with much of what you say. Lewis sometimes doesn't get the credit that i think he deserves. However, i don't agree with your theory regarding the age of Lewis, Tyson, and Holyfield. Regardless of Tyson being younger than Lewis it was still apparent that Tyson was shot.
Lewis took care of himself and seemed to get better with age while it is obvious what direction Tyson took.
Also, i sometimes don't understand the theories behind the Lewis/Holyfield fights. Lewis beat Holyfield in the first fight quite clearly IMO, and although the second fight seemed IMO to be more of a draw than the first, Lewis still got the win. At that time Holyfield was still a very capable fighter.

Rid**** Bowe simply avoided Lewis like the plague!!! However, although Lewis's win over Bowe in the amateurs shouldn't really be included in the initial resume posted, it seemed to leave enough of an impression on Bowe to convince him the he should avoid Lewis in the professional ring, even if it meant throwing his title in a dustbin!
