P4P: De La Hoya or Lennox Lewis?

[MANGLER]

Lennox took on all comers. He beat everybody he fought, includin the 2 cats that KO'd him.

[Dorian]

Lennox by far

He fought Tyson too late and didn't fight Rid**** or Foreman. I agree with what you said but I think Oscar's total resume is my impressive...

Bowe threw his belt away instead of fight him, not Lennoxs fault..

Rid**** Bowe refused to fight him after Lewis KO'd him in the ams and Foreman? Foreman was 40+ It doesn't really matter that he didn't fight him

LOL, I'm astounded. Osca De Le Hoya whom lost to most of his top opponents, supposedly better p4p than one of the best ever heavy weights of all time whom lost less, and even avenged them.

The excuse of not facing Tyson early enough is lame, it wasn't Lewis's fault and it happens in boxing. Many believed it would be close and he dominated him. He also beat Holyfiend convicingly twice.

To the people whom have voted ODL, is any HW of all time, better p4p than ODL? LOL, amazed I'm having to ask this, craziness.

Rid**** and foreman avoided lennox as well as tyson.

Rid**** bowe avoided lennox like the plague, and big george even admitted to it;.

Lennox Lewis, he beat the best beat everyone he faced. Same cannot be said of De La Hoya who faced but never beat the best.

yup. lewis beat everyone he ever fought, although dlh fought better competition.

I voted for Oscar de la Hya. Although Lewis did defeat everyone there was for him to beat I don't feel he had the quality of opposition available to him to supersede Oscar's wins and accomplishments. Oscar's resume is impressive - wins over Mayorga, Vargas, Quartey, Whitaker, Chavez, Raf Ruelas - most of which were prime when he beat them. Add in that all his losses - BHop, Mosley, Trinidad, Mayweather - have come against prime p4p fighters. He was also very unlucky not to win two of those fights. That resume combined with the fact that he is a world champion at 6 different weight classes clinches it for me.
