Lewis might be better than those fighters (he’s clearly not) but he did get knocked the phuck out. TWICE.
I just added Boots to that list, Boots’ still got to figure out his career trajectory but in th context of beating “everyone he’s faced”, well, he’s done it. Hasn’t he?Comment

Fury got far in boxing because he has decent boxing skills and because of his gigantic size. He isn't a technician in the ring. He doesn't have the same pedigree of skills as a Holyfield, Holmes, etc. That is what costed him in his fights with Usyk. Usyk has great movement, pop in his punches and excellent boxing skills. Fury has decent movement, and ok boxing skills. Coming in at 20lbs heavier than the first fight was horrible.Comment

This is not the first time I’ve read that malarkey about Lewis but you are right, for once, They did acknowledge his spectacular losses.
Let’s give it a different perspective. That moniker of “defeated every man he has faced” is as subtle as my point of including Boots in that category of defeating every man he’s faced. Without context, the average boxing fan will see it differently.
It’s kinda the same argument some make about a gift decision on just specific boxers.
Many times we see people argue about Floyd or Ward getting gift decisions when there’s dozens of gift decisions out there.

Faced him but didn’t defeat him
Such a strange, random choice to mention Boots and he’s not even a valid exampleComment

You are right. Someone else corrected me about Boots’ record. He has a no contest fight which means he has not defeated everyone he’s faced.
So I’ll just Sven Ottke, Dariusz Michalczewski, Tank Davis and Shakur to join Lewis on that list of defeating everyone they’ve faced.Comment
