lennox lewis the greatest heavyweight of all time.

[Toney616]

Lewis fought and beat all the best of his era.He also battered Tyson after he had ducked him so long.Ruddock was favoured to beat him and Lewis eat him easier than Tyson ever did.

His era wasn't as great as other era's hw fighters have fought in. Ruddock was never the same fighter after his two wars with Tyson
Tyson was shot when Lewis fought him as well, so its hardly a great win
Lewis also ducked other fighters as well

[BEEHOP]

Lewis is top 5 no doubt.

thats an opinion and many would argue that it was as strong as any other hw era.lewis's era was a superheavweight era where unlike today the heavyweights they were skilled as well as being big



how do you know ruddock was never the same after the tyson fights? because lewis beat him so easily?


tyson was past his best but he was still a top fighter.lewis was also past his best and tyson waited years until he signed to fight lewis.



lewis never ducked anyone.

Tell me the top fighters in Lewis's era

how do you know ruddock was never the same after the tyson fights? because lewis beat him so easily?

Ruddock took a bad beating during the second Tyson fight, he spent most of that fight fighting with a broken jaw as well. Years after that fight, he was interviewed and he said that he was never the same after his wars with Tyson

tyson was past his best but he was still a top fighter.lewis was also past his best and tyson waited years until he signed to fight lewis..

You got it completely wrong here, Tyson was a shot fighter at the time after he had:

Spent 3.5 years in prison
Lost both Holyfield fights
Suspended for another year (after Holyfield II)
Went to prison for another 6 months (road rage incident)
Hadn't beaten a live body since Ruddock back in 91
Abused alcohol and recreational drugs between fights
His heart was no longer in the sport, he never really wanted to go back into boxing and was just going through the motions for the money

He wanted nothing to do with Lewis, who took him to court to force him to fight. If Tyson didn't fight Lewis, then the WBC was going to driop him from their rankings

lewis never ducked anyone.

Mercer- who wanted a rematch
Byrd-who was his ibf mandatory, Lewis vacated the belt
Ike-Who wanted big fights after beating Tua
Vitali-Who wanted a rematch as well

[Sugarj]

Even if Foreman truely believes that Lewis is the greatest of all time, I'd still favour prime Foreman to win a head to head with prime Lewis, by knockout.

Lennox was a damn good heavyweight, he makes my top ten.

The very top - Holyfield,Tyson and bowe.Lewis beat holyfield and both bowe and tyson ducked him.




Obviously Ruddock is going to claim that.He put up a good fight against tyson while lewis make him look like a clown the way he destroyed him so easily.



all tysons fans make excuses for him everytime he gets his ass kicked.lewis was just a better boxer than him.anytime tyson fought someone who hit back then he'd get discouraged.



lewis already fought and beat mercer
lewis already fought and beat vitali
ike got himself locked up before anyone wanted to see him fight lewis
nobody wanted to see lewis-byrd,byrd was a paper champion who got dominated by both klitschko brothers

[NChristo]

lol come off it mate.lewis not even a top ten hw? you cant tell me there are ten better heavyweights than lewis because thats just absolute nonsense.



lewis would have beaten ali and any other hw h2h.

George's Top 10 Heavyweights

1. Joe Louis.
To be honest with you, number two is way off. Joe Louis is in a class by himself.

2. Rocky Marciano.
Just look at Rocky Marciano's record. Nobody beat him. You can't take that from him.

3. Jack Johnson.
A big brave cat, because he'd do whatever he wanted and get out of the way.

4. Muhammad Ali.
Put him down as the GREATEST MAN to ever box, and a hero bigger than boxing. Once Ali lost his speed, it only showed that he'd never developed a great defense.

5. Joe Frazier.
Only because he depended solely on his left hook do I rate Joe Frazier below Marciano. Marciano could hit with both hands.

6. Jack Dempsy.
Jack Dempsy's very name means strength and courage. Other than Joe Louis, there is not a name in boxing or in sports with more meaning.

7. Mike Tyson.
A phenomenon. What Mike Tyson was able to do with his speed of hand and punching power is as phenomenal as what Muhammad Ali did when he was Cassius Clay with speed of feet. Tyson deserves to be in the top ten; this is where I put him, the youngest man to become Heavyweight Champion of the World.

8. Sonny Liston.
If Sonny Liston truly had not lost his cool, had not underestimated a young Cassius Clay; and kept the same mind set that he had as a contender, history would have been a lot kinder to him. Sonny Liston could not believe Muhammad Ali was so fast and had so much courage. It just made him fall apart.

9. Floyd Patterson.
The First Two-Time Heavyweight Champion of the World.

10. Evander Holyfield.
For standing up to Mike Tyson.

Straight off his own website, I don't see Lewis on there, George saying it doesn't mean anything, he's said a lot of ****** things in the past.

Lol at Lewis beating all HW H2H.

yeah this list is pretty old tho,Probably back when holy had just beaten tyson twice - hence the "standing up to tyson reference".




lewis has the size,strength and skills to dominate any hw whoever lived.

[Megamasterking]

lol come off it mate.lewis not even a top ten hw? you cant tell me there are ten better heavyweights than lewis because thats just absolute nonsense.

You see, when you say something it's an opinion but when i say something it's not an opinion, you call it absolute nonsense. Lewis is not on my top 10, it's my opinion based on 30 years of boxing, i'm not saying that Lewis was not good, he's not the GOAT and doesn't make MY top ten and that's my opinion.

It's not that old, how did Lewis suddenly jump to number 1 in his mind when he stated that Joe Louis is in a class of his own and Ali and the rest are way off ?. He's said dumb things in the past and is well known for it, you're taking his words too seriously.
