lennox lewis the greatest heavyweight of all time.

Yeah Sonny is really reaching with his Lennox hate here. Rahman was pretty much shot by the time he fought Toney and it most certainly wasn't as impressive as Lennox's one punch destruction of a prime Rahman.

Love him or hate him, Lewis is a top 10 ATG HW. Period. End of story. Thanks for playing.

prime Rahman... Rahman was a journeyman, bum, who was unranked when the Lewis camp petitioned their beloved WBC to have him moved from No11 up to the No10 postition so that they could fight him rather than fight any of the Top contenders...There is never any Hate` in my Lewis threads... just the truth about his career, your more than welcome to try to prove what i say as incorrect, Lewis is my favorite subject

JoeyZagz.. you seem to know all about the career of Lennox Lewis.. can you name for me the fighters who Lewis fought "Who was At the Top of their Game"..?

We already covered it in another thread, no need to rehash it here.

"Top of their game" is really a lightning in a bottle scenario. No one is absolutely perfect on fight night. Someone is always a year too old, or theres a drug story, a training camp mishaps, weight problem, or something else.

"Foreman was poisoned, the ropes were loose"

"A distracting fan flew in the ring when Holyfield got his best win"

"Bowe TKOd a man suffering from a heart condition."


There are a million excuses you can use. You use them to nitpick Lennox's opponents when it can really be done to just about any boxer in any given fight.

Regardless of your opinion of Rahman, you're the one who made the claim that Lennox's destruction of him wasn't the most impressive. That was your first mistake. The second was bringing up the Toney fight as evidence of your claim.

I don't really care what your opinion of him is. You're in the small minority of people who think Lennox is not a top 10 ATG HW.

you need to watch Rahman vs Maskaev (1)

As much as I liked Lewis, and I really did. I can't put him in my top ten. No matter how I rank them he barely misses my list. There is no one since he retired that I would put above him in my rankings but I just have a hard time squeezing Lewis in there.

prime Darcy... Jimmy Darcy was a journeyman, bum, who was unranked when the Dempsey camp petitioned their beloved NBAW to have him moved from No111 up to the No10 postition so that they could fight him rather than fight any of the Top contenders...

^^^Sorry but I just couldnt resist. Most if not all of your nitpick criticisms can be applied 10 fold to other ATGs and make them look silly.

And one can only imagine if boxers were still allowed to go 3 years without a defense and keep there titles. Unbelievable.

yet Lewis kept the entire boxing world waiting with his promise that he would fight Vitali in a rematch yet only 3 days before he was to be stripped of his last remaining belt he baulked and announced his retirement

Retiring at 38, ON TOP, is a graceful exit..... what about that certain 32 year old?

A man, only 32, who was babied his entire career with three year vacations, four round farces and was allowed to duck an entire race of people?

Despite being spoonfed and ducking the best HWs of his era, he still ended up with 6 losses and was poleaxed by Journeyman jim Flynn. He couldnt even defeat a lightheavyweight who was the same age as him?
