i am not a fan.. i enjoy watching great fighters and that is exactly what Mike Tyson was.. Lewis was not a great fighter he avoided every fighter who was at the top of their game his whole career and fought nothing but exposed class c fighters who was on the slide... i love it when Lewis nuthuggers like you try to diminish the achievements of Mike Tyson in a bid to glorify Lewis... it will never work.... Lewis was a british/Canadian thing...you are so deluded your the kind of nuthugger who even claims Lewis would have beat Tyson when Tyson was in his primeOriginally posted by Shazam!

You're a big Tyson fan, right?

You should read Larry Holmes autobiography "Against The Odds" Holmes says Joe Frazier would have bombed out Lennox Lewis in under 2rds..
Larry Holmes has always had some nice things to say about Lewis..

Frazier was King from 67-73... Lewis cannot be called King of his era as he was "Stripped of every belt" for refusing to fight the No1 contenders... like it or not, but it is true.Originally posted by Cotto-Rulez View PostLennox Lewis was the king of his era. Joe Frazier was the king one night.

i only hear nuthuggers claim so.. But to be stripped of every belt for refusing to fight the No1 contenders is a terrible stain on his legacy, especially when he refused to fight John Ruiz, who went on to win the title twice and is soon to be challenging for it in the near future.. its clear that Lewis avoided RuizOriginally posted by Shazam! View PostStrange that he's regularly referred to as such then, isn't it?

I'd say Frazier, not by a huge margain though. Losing to George Foreman is nothing be ashamed of, especially a young, prime Foreman. Also, going 1-2 with Ali isn't a bad thing either, he de-throned the man generally regarded as the greatest heavyweight of all time. (Just to clarify, I mean he was the first to beat him, incase anyone thought I meant he won the title from Ali).
Lewis's losses to Rahman and McCall are pretty big hits to his legacy, even though he did avenge them.
