For me personally, the man in your avatar was the greatest heavyweight of all time!

Well, that might be pushing it a little, although I would definetely put him above Lewis.

Awesome Lennox Lewis Interview from yesterday!

Speaking of the greatest...Here's a cool interview he did with Maxim...where he tells the world how many average joe's (not boxers) it would take to take him down...

Great stuff!

Johnson is my second favorite fighter under Ali. He was probably the bravest individual who ever lived!

Lewis is in my Top 5 if he didn't lose twice then he proberbly would be top 3 100% He would beat pretty much all the great Heavyweights because of his size and he used his height amazingly well.

Not best of all time in my book but i wouldn't argue with anyone that did all you can do in your era is beat everyone and he did he avenged his losses instead of running away from them and beat the best.

how do you figure? Jack Johnson didnt defend his title much, and his best wins are over lousy fighters, old men, and guys that weighed below 170lbs. If Lennox Lewis would have fought even Roy Jones, he would have been laughed at and given little to no credit. and thats Roy Jones, one of the best guys(or the best) around 170lbs of all time.

Lennox has a way better record, even if I would never make a case for him being the best of all time.

No way is he the greatest

It's kind of funny when people use the 'he only beat lousy old men' argument while defending Lennox Lewis whose two best wins come over lousy old men, Holyfield and Tyson.

And you do know that the heavyweight limit in Johnson's time was 175 lbs, don't start comparing the heavyweights of that day to the heavyweights of today. It's all about achievements and both Lewis and Johnson had plenty of them.

I put both Johnson and Lewis in the top 5, both are atleast top 10.
