      So are you saying that a fighter must fight 15 rounds to be considered an ATG?

        It was harder to fight back then 15 rounds is a huge ask when you are a heavyweight

          Louis is still one of the greatest Heavyweights of all time though.
          Absolutely. I never stated otherwise

          I was only trying to concur with Flawless definition.

          So Lewis can never be considered an ATG and neither can anyone else post Tyson.

                    I think Lewis has a good resume, Although he fought in a pretty weak division. Both Tyson and Holyfield were not on their primes by the time Lewis fought them, But he proved his greatness by beating everyone else out there. I can't think of anyone he ducked in his prime (*Waits for someone to mention Vitali*)

                      Again, just picking Flawlesses flawed logic apart. I feel that Lewis is an ATG HW....

                      Not trying to be a **** Flawless but your logic is flawed on this subject...

                      You'd be better off saying that you don't feel that he's an ATG because his resume is week or something instead of making up criteria as you go and having it picked apart by BatTheMan..
