lennox lewis the greatest heavyweight of all time.

Lewis KOd Rahman quicker than anyone else did in history including Wladimir who fought Rahman 7 years after.

The punches sounded like a double barreled ******* and were fired just as quick...how is that not spectacular?

Maskaev knocked Rahman out of the ring with a punch

While you MIGHT be able to make a case for Lewis being better than Marciano or Wills, the others? No way.

On the contrary extremely strong cases can be made that Lewis would have not only have beaten those guys prime for prime but he is also greater than those guys .

He defeated every fighter that he faced, no other heavyweights other than Gene Tunney and Rocky Marciano can make that claim. He is one of only 5 men to regain the lineal heavyweight title. Only Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes won more "title" bouts than Lennox Lewis, dating from his days as WBC champion. In terms of quality of opposition Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson (way past prime) and Vitaly Klitschko are better than Ken Norton, Earnie Shavers and Gerry Cooney who are the best fighters that Larry Holmes beat. Lewis next tier of competition Razor Ruddock, Ray Mercer, Tony Tucker, Oliver McCall, David Tua and Tommy Morrison are better than most heavyweight champion's competition outside that of Muhammad Ali.

How mike Tyson can be on anyone’s top 10 is beyond me other than the light-hitting, terrified Spinks and the out-of-shape, intimidated, comebacking, former great Larry Holmes, who did Tyson actually fight in his prime who was truly any good in absolute terms?

INgmar Johansson also beat everyone he faced.
Nad I never understand why folks here think that beating McCall the secound time was so importent. The guy had a mental breakdown in the ring and the fight was stopped, its like getting knock out by a guy the take revench when he´s in a whellchair or something.

Ruddock - Damaged goods after 2 brutal beating by Tyson
Tua - Fattest man to ever fight for the title
Tucker - Junkie & shell of former champion
McCall - journeyman who poleaxed Lewis in under 2rds
Morrison - on the downslide & HIV positive `
Mercer - robbed of desicion & had been beaten by Old Holmes
Vitali - unfortunate loser who Lewis refused rematch.
Bruno - Gave Lewis a boxing lesson
Fortune - who?
Butler - who?
Jackson - who?
Akinwande - who?
Mavrovic - who?
Rahman - journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Briggs - Tomato can
Grant - ex basketballer undeserving of title fight, class C
Botha - Steroid freak undeserving of title shot

Lewis avoided Bowe 93 & 95, Holyfield 93, Tyson 96, Sanders 97-99, Ruiz 98-00, Byrd, 99-01, Witherspoon, 94-96, Holmes 92-94, Foreman, 94-96, Hide 94-95, Moorer 94-96, Jones Jr 01-03... Lewis turned down career highest purse offers to face all the above fighters.

Lennox Lewis never in his career faced a class B+ fighter who was "At The Top of their Game" .. Lewis only ever fought class D fighters and old has-beens who was years past their best... Lewis was a Fraud.

all bull**** tyson never wanted a fight with lewis in his prime. Tyson had the chance to fight lewis but chose the seemingly easier option in Evander Holyfield as for Rid**** bowe its common knowledge that he ducked Lennox thats not even up for debate and whos to blaim the guy after the beating he received at the hands of lewis during the Olympics

and Ruiz 98-00, Byrd, 99-01, Witherspoon, 94-96, Holmes 92-94, Foreman, 94-96, Hide 94-95, Moorer 94-96, Jones Jr 01-03 thats pretty comical actually

so he avoids the mighty john ruiz 98-00 but fights david Tua in 2000 the guy that K.oed ruiz with the first punch he threw

On conclusion you really don’t know what your talking about and have decided to spew out a few home made truths in order to voice your dislike for one of the greatest heavyweights of all time
