It's not as much what he's done, altho he has beaten several top contenders. Coetzer, Coetzee, Truth Williams, Oliver McCall. But he had heart. More than Lewis will ever have. And Lewis never fought a prime Tyson. I doubt he'd last as long as Bruno did. He'd get ko'd just like against McCall. And Bruno staggered Tyson and was stopped on his feet. Also, Bruno gave Lewis a boxing lesson in that match. Everybody knows that.

Bruno indeed beat a few good fighters mixing in a few KO losses to them.
Lewis instead beat everyone.Everybody on the black.Comment

He didn't beat Foreman, he didn't beat Moorer, he didn't beat real Tyson and most important of all-he didn't beat Bowe.Comment

Bowe ducked him.
Tyson was in prison and then they eventually fought.
Moorer lol,I like Micheal but if they fought he wouldn't have a chance.Would be one of those wins you'd categorise as ''beating a smaller man''
Nor did he get an opportunity on Foreman.Comment

Smaller but not short of power. Moorer was a better overall fighter than Lewis IMO. And he beat a younger version of Holyfield. I just hate how some have turned Lewis into a godly figure. They have forgot his losses to McCall and Rahman and tend to trivialize and excuse them. Another fact; he never really beat McCall. It's ridiculous how they can write that he beat every opponent he faced!
Rubbish!

Lewis was that good,H2H top 2-3 HWs ever.
And yes he beat everyone he ever faced.Comment

In McCall's case his opponent beat himself for him.
McCall had his number. In the first 2 rounds Lewis was in BIG trouble. After that the crazy stuff kicked in for McCall.

Who cares about the first 2 rounds?
Tyson hit him a few times in the first too,so what.Tony Tucker did good in the first.
Who gets his hand raised at the end is what matters.McCall had some serious mental issues.He didn't deal to good with geting hit.Comment

Hey, McCall would kick his ass again and you know it! His chin was way too good and he was too much a boxer to get knocked out by Lewis. Not to mention his speed, punching power and toughness. He was very fast for a HW. His only problem is that he was sometimes lazy on the offense, but had great defense to make up for it.Comment
