    At a healthy grilling contest perhaps. Certainly not in a fight.

      Rahman and McCall were not club fighters.

        i think lewis will go down as one of the greatest heavyweights but what you did'nt factor in was the majority of the big names he beat were past it.

          Foreman admitted Lewis would have been a nightmare for him. Straight out of Foreman's mouth.

          Lewis was superior to Foreman in every way except maybe punching power. But Lewis had A LOT of power himself. He would have jabbed Foreman's head off before knocking him out.

            To say Lewis has a glass chin is ******. Anyone who saw the shots that Lewis took against Mercer will know that. And how many fighters can you name who went 32 rounds with Holyfield and Tyson without ever looking close to being knocked out. Look at how the big hitting Klitschko's shots just made him come back angrier. Lewis was a beast.

              Lewis beat most of hes opponents when they were over the top and downhill. Frank Bruno, Morrison,Holyfield, Tyson and Tucker. As we know Holyfield is 3 years older then Lewis.

              Rid**** Bowe was ready to fight Lewis in March 1995, but since Lewis lost to McCall the fight was cencelled.

              Lewis was a lucky fighter, and lost 2 fights in ways no greats has done before him.

                Lennox Lewis was a beast and a highly rated ATG.

                Enough said.

                  I shouldn't even respond but ******idty can't and shouldn't go unpunished. People on this site always make excuses why one fighter did this or that or what they didn't do just because they hold some bias towards that fighter. Keep dumb sh it like this too yourself. You just embarrass yourself with these type of comments

                    Down twice and knocked out once.
