The biggest knock on Leis' resume is the fact that the biggest names on his resume were shells of their former selves. Not saying that he wasn't good- but the biggest names he beat can be misleading.

It wasn't his fault, but all of Marciano's big wins were against fighters well past their primes.

You didn't see Oceans 11?

Lennox is so overrated by some of you revisionists it's sick.

How is Lennox a better champion than Dempsey, Marciano, Foreman, and Tyson?

i put lennox right ahead of tyson at number 7

It wasn't his fault, but all of Marciano's big wins were against fighters well past their primes.

I know it wasn't his fault- it's just my two cents. You don't agree?

I'd still have him in the top 10.

[Parody]

Lewis is somewhere around 15-18

Name 15 HW's better than Lewis.

he didn't fight Wlad LOL

On Lennox Lewis Ringside, Bert Sugar and Ray Mancini said they wouldn't put the London Lion in their top 10 ATG HW rating...so I ask you, how do you determine your top 10 HW ATG list and where would you put Lewis or at least would he be somewhere in your top 10?

For the record, Manny puts Lewis #6.

Lennox

I don't know, there have been many many great HWs throughout the years, but Lennox first comes to mind as the most accomplished HW of recent years. I think I'd have to put him in there between 8 & 10.

Yes, I do agree. Basically I was responding to another poster claiming Marciano's reign was better. Both of them definitely belong in the top 10. I also think some of Lennox's second tier opponents (Tua, Ruddock, etc.) were close to their prime and better than most past champion's opposition.

Johnson, Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis.

How would you rate them all? Those are IMO the all-time great heavyweights.
As for ranking them, it's hard to say.

Feel free to add some more great heavyweights that I've missed from my list.

1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Larry Holmes
4. Lennox Lewis
5. Evander Holyfield
6. Jack Johnson
7. Rock Marciano
8. George Foreman
9. Sonny Liston
10. Jack Dempsy
11. Joe Frazier

i dont put Tyson on the list because he was overrated, didn't accomplish alot and didn't go to the olympics. i base my list on what the fighters accomplished and not hype. Tyson has never beaten a great fighter that was in thier prime.
