top ten, marvellous boxer

Where does Lewis rank all time in the heavys. I'd say top 20, arguably top 10.

Top 20? Arguably top 10? Lmao!! What you know about boxing could fit on the back of a postage stamp.......in bold print. Give me a break!

Please, name 10 better heavyweights so I can laugh at you some more. While your at it Im still waiting for the 75 fighters greater than Oscar.

You won't do it, and you can't do it. But Im sure the name calling and flaming isn't to far away, is it?

I havent actually thought about who would go in front of him, but I have him top 10 and think that in his prime he has a realistic shot of beating any other heavyweight that ever fought.

If you've already been inducted, can you still fight just in case you change your mind and decide to unretire?

If so, has anybody ever done it before?

Chiquita Gonzalez did I think. He was inducted into the HOF in 2006 and had a very brief comeback from memory about a year ago or something.

I haven't done a list lately, but I'd have him around 5 or 6. He fought in a good era and beat every man he ever faced. Was an excellent technician and had brutal power. Was also either champion or ranked in the top 3 for what, 11 years? Very impressive in my humble opinion.

He's more respected now he's retired which is a shame.

That seems to be how it goes. But I agree and wish he would have gotten the respect he deserved while still fighting. Better late then never.

Both Foreman and Arguello come to mind.

Yes, of course. Arguello was inducted around the start of '90's I think and made a comeback mid-90's didn't he? Of course Foreman was nearly as famous for his amazing comeback as he was for having fought back in the day with Frazier and Ali. Good ones.

Thank you my friend. Seeing as you're from Australia brought 2 more names to mind. Jeff Fenech and Azumah Nelson.

Imagine if he had fought on like Hollyfield or Tyson. He wouldn't get any respect today and forever after. Better be respected late than never. He retired with is dignity but at the same time on a VERY HIGH note.
