    Beat best around him in the Division, at times had a superb boxing style great to watch, revenged his losses. I mean I dont quite know the criteria for your 'homer's' but for me he up there with maybe the top 10 HW's. And there have been a lot of HW's!

      He was the best in the late90's early 00's but never faced the best when they were in there primes (not his fault). To be honest though i wouldnt say he was always that great to watch.

          Who Tyson? Give me a break. Tyson was lucky he was in prison during the rise of Lewis, it gives his fans a 'what if he fought him in 89-91' dream I suppose.

          He fought Holyfield twice when he was in his prime and beat him comfortably both times, although we all know what happened the first time.

          I agree he hasn't got boxing legends on his list but he dominated a fairly competitive HW era, a lot more competitive than the early Tyson era and the guys he fought.

            well i didnt say tyson would beat him i was saying he never beat guys like bowe tyson holyfield in there prime which wasnt his fault. Holyfield was not in his prime by 1999.

              He knocked Bowe out in 84 at the olympics. Bowe didn`t want any of Lewis after that. He gave up his title so he didn`t have to fight him in the pros.

              Lewis is top 5 all time for me.

                It was Seoul '88 that he won gold. Yeah he'll be in the Hall of Fame, undisputed champion, gave Tyson and Holyfield a spanking not to mention three times HW champion.

                BTW, Duffgun, Lewis was great to watch.

                  I know but that wasnt in the pros. I think lewis is top 10.
