    Apart from the fact he is year older than Tyson, he beat the likes of Klitscho, Tua, Grant, Briggs, Botha, Golota, Morrison, Bruno and Ruddock to name but a few???

    His only two losses (McCall and Rahman) he avenged, he beat Holyfield and the draw was a disgrace so how can he be overrated???

      Yeah Lewis beat everyone worth beating in his division. If Lewis was overrated how on earth do you rate any boxer?

        terry norris, he beat a ghost of SRL and he became a star, not wanting to avenge his KO loss to Jackson, he called out small guys, including DLH and sweet pea, in his last fight, he got knockout silly by a frenchman.

          I just want to say that Lewis avenged his defeats and beat every man he faced. How many fighters can say that? No no, really how many?
          Sick of hearing that

            Tyson is underratted, tyson was a beast in his prime. people like too talk about old champs like dempsey, marciano... they got that auro but tyson was one of the best heavyweight in his prime, it's his life outside the ring that hurt him as a fighter

              Holyfield overrated, Lewis ATG

              Lennox Lewis is an all-time great. Evander "Headbutt" Holyfield was the most overrated boxer of the 1990's.
