8-10, ahead of guys like the Brothers K and Mike Tyson, but well below Ali, Louis, Liston, and Holmes.

Latter section of the Top 10 somewhere or just outside it.
He has some good wins against Holyfield, Morrison, Vitali, Tyson, Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno and Ray Mercer who were all pretty good but, no really GREAT wins such as an Ali-Foreman, Foreman - Frazier etc. Did fight almost everyone except Bowe. His reputation is damaged for some KO/TKO losses to not so good fighters which greatly tarnish his record.

Lennox Lewis is not an ATG.

Wait, below Liston and Holmes...Louis too for that matter, but Liston and Holmes? Is this a joke?

how many future or former champs did he beats?

klitschko
Tyson
Rahman
Holy
Briggs
mercer.. man i give up he beat so many good fighters. How many ATG's does Liston have on his resume of wins. Hell how many good fighters did Liston beat that weighed over 200 lbs? What a joke.

Lewis has the number 1 or 2 best resume for HW's all tim

Give reasons please.

Destroyed in the opening rounds by Journeyman fighters in the prime of his career while never fighting a single top contender in the prime of their career, and though he fought a way over the hill Holyfield, he could not beat him convincingly (although to Holyfields credit he is always in incredible condition and is one of the hardest training men in the sport). He ducked every top contender of the 90's including Rid**** Bowe, Evander Holyfield, and Mike Tyson.

He has no commendable wins on his resume over top contenders, outside of Vitali who he beat due to a cut and then refused to rematch.

Ali's resume is way better than Lewis' not even close.
As is Sonny Listons.
The same with Larry Holmes.
Rocky Marciano.
Joe Louis.
and last but, not least, George Foreman.

Just to name a few many more but, they are very clear and off the top of my head.

Some valid points there especially about the 90's ducking.
I still debate in my head whether beating lots very good oponents but, not GREAT opponents warrants ATG status... Depends whose judging I guess.

Anybody who knows boxing does not have LL on their p4p ATG list.

There are many on this forum that I respect that have him in their top HW list and while I respect their opinion I totally disagree with that opinion.
