5. Mike Tyson
4. David Tua (Prime)
3. Evander Holyfield I+II
2. Vitali Klitschko
1. Hasim Rahman

Rahman rematch is his best win because no one in history has comeback against a devastating KO loss in such style,with such expediency as Lennox did in 2001.

Even the Great Joe Louis needed 2 years before facing Max Schmelling again. Pacquiao was out a year after Marquez defeat, Wlad wanted no part of Purrity and Sanders. The balls it took for Lennox to rematch the man who poleaxed him, in the same year, it'ss quite remarkable.

It's only useful if it is relative to the quality of opposition. That really should be obvious.

Unless of course you think Edwin Valero is the best KO puncher ever...

Some people do

How about Ali Raymi?

Adrien Broner at 130 lbs?

JoeyZags has conviently avoided that post.

[KnockoutNed]

So scan the program so we can see Sanders being promoted as a future opponent for Lewis or post a link to someone else's pic of that program because I never heard of Corrie Sanders until he beat Wlad.

He can't scan that fight program just like he can't scan the interview of the trainer who saw Lennox getting beat up by Ruiz in sparring because neither exist.

Getting sparked by Hasim Rahman in the first place is embarrassing.

[KnockoutNed]

Surely your joking. Lewis is 6'4'' half-inch tall & 240lbs PED abuser.

Do you have any proof to back this up?

I dont need to scan any program. I have provided you with the source, it is up to you to check it out. I am sure you will be able to buy outright that program on ebay, for a £1

[Joeyzagz]

Do you have any proof to back this up?

No he doesn't. He's just a senile old man who's been repeating the same lies since I was in highschool. Almost a decade.

Do you know what Ross Purity, buster Douglas, Oliver McCall, and Jason Rahman all have in common? They are all 6'2+ 230+ lbs and physically chiseled beasts. Ali, Dempsey, marciano never faced creatures So large. They are another weight class entirely Superheavyweights.

[Scott9945]

Do you have any proof to back this up?

Yes. Lewis steadily gained weight during his career. When in boxing history has that ever happened before?

Lewis never fought Jason Rahman, Buster Douglas or Ross Puritty.. you are a "size freak" Thinking size makes you better, tougher etc lol

Wlad Klitschko's opponents over the last 20yrs have almost all been over 6'2'' tall and 230lbs.. Yet they are unknown boxers. Who had no boxing ability, who could barely last 6rds before they were knackered, due to the excess weight they carried. Heavyweights from the past never used PEDs or steroids. So they could fight 15rds at a good pace, unlike Lewis who was knacked after 6rds.. Take a look at Lewis physique in the Holyfield fights and it is clear to see he is juicing. It's impossible to get that much muscle from weight lifting.. IMO Lewis would be the No1 juicer in all Heavyweight history which i can catogorically say, is a PED abuser. Others like Morrison, Holyfield, Golota, Briggs, Klitschko etc are all high on the list. But Lewis is tops due to his physique and weight gain.
