    Well I'm glad about that, cos there's one or two clowns on the History section, who are suggesting otherwise.. I think this thread illustrates the facts..

        by far 3 IMO he was the most complete fighter of his time avenged all his losses and crushed all opponents for signature wins... and to be honest i can't see anyone past or present challenging him when he was in his prime.

          wlad is a second rate version of lennox, methodical, leads off the jab, great physical attributes(in prime), but lennox has more variety in his punches, (atg jab as wlad does and best uppercut in hw history. he had a better jaw than wlad and the things that wlad will never have is victories over other atg and avenge his losses.

          in the question of lewis top ten definetly, not sure wheres in top 10 would even be 1 or 2 if tyson, holyfield fights were earlier, fought bowe(not his fault) didn't take rahman lightly (mcall great game plan) but in prime agaisnt anyone i would place him in top 3 with ali and tyson

            10 greatest heavyweights ever IMO:
            1. Joe Louis
            2. Muhammad Ali
            3. Rocky Marciano
            4. Evander Holyfield
            5. Mike Tyson
            6. Joe Frazier
            7. Wladimir Klitschko
            8. Lennox Lewis
            9. Sonny Liston
            10. Max Schmelling
            How anyone can have Tyson at five is be honed me
            On what basis would you have Tyson higher than Lewis ??
            Lewis beat much better fighters than Tyson ever did !
            Someone please explain ??

              What the hell are you on?! Tyson beat Spinks, Tubbs, Holmes, Tucker, Thomas...Lewis beat an aging over the hill Tucker on points. He is the same size as Tucker while Tyson had a six inch height and eleven inch reach disadvantage!

                  Obviously I'd have him top 5, possibly top 3

                  It's a shame Steward didn't get him earlier, that would of been mental

                    Hey, it's not a big distance between those two spots,ok? I just think Wlad is slightly better and stronger.
