      There you go Iron Man hope that does it for you.
      Well, many of those became champions after Lewis beat them, also 2 of them were champions because of beating Lewis. Im saying this to put it into perspective, as it shows how dominant the fighters were, tyson for instance fought champions and ex champions in a row cleaing out the division and im not counting future champs he fought. Holyfield fought less champions compared to both men and so you could argue he did not dominate as Lewis and Tyson did.

      • In all fairness, while Klitschko may not have become champion until after his fight with Lewis, Vitali had him licked, were it not for the rediculous stoppage; so it's practically like fighting a champion.

          How ya doing brass long time no speak. Have to disagree with you on this, Vitali never had him licked, watch the fight again mate. While he started very well and hit Lewis with some terrific shots, this was only for the first 2 rounds. By the 3rd Lewis started to get back in the fight and while Klitchko was still competetive his punches were having less of an effect, and he was starting to tire. Although Lewis seemed quite tired himself he looked fresher than Klitchko and was landing the better shots, in the 4th and 5th Lewis hit him with some devastating shots, especially his uppercuts which is quite surprising considering the size of Klitchko. Lewis had busted him up fairly and was on top at the time of the stoppage, and I have no doubt he would have kod him in the next few rounds. But that's my opinion.

          • Well u cant basically fight a champion because he fought well, you either do or you dont. Also Briggs was Lineal Champion wen lewis fought him, i dnt think he actually held a belt tho!

                    Nice list Iron. Good to see Dempsey up there where he belongs. Tyson's too high though.

                      Lewis didn't seem the fresher man to me at the end of that fight. Vitali had a good thing going there. Too bad about that amazing horse gash, possibly the worst cut I have ever seen on a boxer.
