The greatest Heavyweight champion of all time!!!!!!!!!

[duffgun]

lets not go overboard here. he wasnt ahead on points with mcall the first time. mcall seemed to get the better of it in the first round and knocked him out the next round. in the rematch he was a coked out mess and holyfield and tyson were shells of themselves when lewis fought them. lewis did beat other good opposition but not great. I'd put him between 6 and 10 as an all time great but not top 5

Yeah Lewis was not in front I agree that Mccall won the first round. And in truth Lews didn’t properly revenge that defeat Mccall was doing well in the rematch and then broke down because he was a crack addict even when he was crying and not defending himself Lewis still couldn’t hurt him. The Tyson fight was also meaningless imo Tyson was way past his best.

rocky marciano.....no point arguing the guy was undefeated and beat all the best HW's of his era

[SUPER ZAB FAN]

LMAO that someone would have the audacity to say Vitali was one of the best HW's of his era . LOL what did he ever accomplish ?? His best fight was a loss . Lennox was a good fighter but he Lost to Raman and Mcall while he was in his prime , how many future HOF's lost in there prime to guys who would never make the Hall ?

Is Rocky Marciano the only unbeaten HW Champion of the World EVER?

He lost to two fighters thats all, the manner is which he lost is irrelevant as he was beating both fighters on points handiliy both times. He came back to beat both in KO fashion. He beat the best P4P fighters at the time Holyfield & Tyson will go down as Top 10 Heavyweight fighters and he beat both easily the first fight with Holyfield was robbery but he beat him by shutout the 2nd time. He also beat the best of the next generation of fighters in Vitali which even Ali couldn't do with Holmes, Ali lost to Norton & Frazier in his prime although they weren't bums.
He is a Top 5 HW fighter of all time I put him 3rd and his ranking will only rise with the passing of time.

Time out bro I hate to break it to you but did you watch the 2nd fight of Holyfield v Lewis? Holyfield was given a gift in the first fight but he outclassed Lewis in the 2nd fight and Lewis was given the gift.

holyfield for me is the greatest. but like i said before.. a prime tyson could have battered anyone on his day. i think Ali would have had his ass handed to him in a few rounds. (bet i get **** for that)
