You are making my point for me. Without context, Boots is just like Lennox because he’s defeated everyone he’s ever faced.

Nah, not just like Lewis. Boots has a way better chin than Lewis ever did.

No because Lennox actually faced legit opponents, Boots has yet to face someone with a pulse and every time he's linked to someone with a pulse his ass nips and he finds a way out, he's not comparable to anyone on the list you mentioned.

Way better chin than Lewis? Based on what evidence? Lewis fought the best heavyweights in the world. These two cannot be compared.

I know Rahman was not someone with a pulse yet he vaporized Lewis with a singular shot.
McCall did the same thing to Lewis

And Chavez lost to Sweet Pea
And Williams lost to Lara
Bradley lost to PAC

It appears only Floyd gets scrutinized for his close fights.

I thought it was after Williams got beat by the great Carlos Quintana.

Floyd was the truth. But he never fought a guy with the attributes of Paul Williams. It would have been interesting to see Floyd against a 6"4 welterweight that throws 100 punches a round and had an iron chin until he fought heavier men.

Carlos Quintana was a 147 Ibs guy and he beat Williams. Would you say Quintana has better attributes than Floyd?

I’m not saying Floyd would win. 6”4 is tall order to overcome but he did get beat by Quintana.

Floyd was a master boxer but he didnt fight Clottey, Kermit Cintron, Paul Williams, Margarito, vernon forrest, and the list goes on. There are too many strong willing guys he wouldnt face

And yet again, we see the same old nonsensical line of “Lewis, who defeated every man he faced in the pros,”.
Lewis got knocked the phück out by Rahman and McCall. Both perennial flash in the pan journeymen. To use those words is to try to subtly hide the losses Lewis suffered.

Calzaghe, Floyd, Andre Ward, Marciano and Boots defeated every man they faced. That is an absolute statement.

The first time I heard that quote it felt odd, because it is not true at all.
