      Definitely top 10, arguably top five. Stylistically, one of the toughest matchups. His HW resume is just too impressive.

        Am sticking with my 'lucky punch' theory.

        It's the only way to explain what happened in that fight.

        Stop fighting me!

              Head to head a prime Lennox has the chance to beat ANY HW in history. I think Foreman would give him the most consistent trouble though.

                I agree with the previous poster. Lennox might not be the greatest HW - but on his A game he beats all others.

                Great fighter.

                  Not preparing properly helps.

                    LL is definitely top 5. I also have him at #3 behind ali and louis.
