Lewis, overated or a true Heavyweight great?

[jabsRstiff]

Lewis belongs in the top ten. Not the top five....but definitely the top ten.

As for Holyfield....
Tough to place him. He was INCONSISTENT at heavyweight. One great performance could be followed by a loss, or a dud.
& everyone started rating him highly after he beat a FRAUD in Mike Tyson.
That version of Tyson.....had gotten back on top by beating a bunch of terrified dip****s.


As a lb4lber....Evander is a TRUE GREAT, however.

After spending a couple of evenings talking with Emanual Steward, I can tell you that Emanual says of Lennox, "of all the fighters I have trained, he is the strongest natural fighter of them all".

Now, if a Hall of Fame trainer like Mr. Steward tells you that Lewis is a top 10 of all time Champion, who am I (or you) to argue? Emanual is a walking, talking, breathing, boxing encyclopedia. The man knows more about the sport and it's history than any of us will EVER know. If you ever get the chance to pick his brain, or even merely have the chance to sit and listen to this man talk boxing over dinner, you too will be astonished as I was...

Stewart is senile.

Stewart knows his ****, totally.....but he's also VERY BIASED when it comes to Lennox.

I don't listen to him when it comes to his own people.

stewarD!!!! yeah he does know his stuff but he is a bit of a whore when it comes to jumping camps, be interesting to know his take now lewis is retired. read not so long ago he called lennox a coward when he was trainign the Klits, thats piss poor form in my book. You cant spend ten years with someone then turn on them cos they have retired. For that reason only and his lack of respect for Lennox's future and decision I lost a lot of respect for Manny as a person.

yeah but he was right.

leave lenn alone!

[PBDS]

I don't care for Lennox or his attitude one bit. I think is a royal *******. However, I still think he is in the top ten.

lennox beat everyone he ever fought because he never gave anyone a rematch. when he "beat" klitsckho, he said he was going to give a rematch. i knew he wouldn't because he knew that klitschko would knock him into next week. when there was a draw or a loss they gave lennox a rematch, because thats what a man does

[guru]

lewis is top 10..... as jabs said, holy was very up and down... holy was given the title by douglas, he then defended againt two 40 year olds and a journeymen before losing to bowe....
