      Lennox is one of the best heavyweights of all time, he could do it all knock fighters out early or give a fighter a boxing lesson. Lennox's wins over briggs, morrison, golota and razor ruddock get really under rated they were all solid contenders

        C- for fighting guys outside of their prime and getting embarrassed by Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman.

        He has one of the poorest resumes of any heavyweight champion.

          So uh, compare Tyson's resume to his.

              Holyfield
              Tyson
              V. Klitschko
              Rahman
              Ruddock
              Golota
              Morrison
              Bruno
              Mercer
              McCall
              Tua
              Tucker
              Briggs

              If you think that's a C- resume, you need some help.

                Holyfield and Ali are the only Heavyweights who come close to matching Lennox name for name, but LL has a better record and only 2 losses.

                  Not only do I disagree name for name, but name for name shouldn't matter anyways. Beating a name doesn't mean much if the fighter is nowhere near what they used to be.

                    It's a good resume, obviously it's missing a couple names, bowe (lewis ko'd him in the olympics though) Tyson (prime) and even................John Ruiz (lol)
