Based on having all the belts. Based on avenging his two losses. Based on beating EVERY fighter he ever faced. Based on fact. Stop trashing his accomplishments. He beat the best of his era handily. Stop finding reasons to trash this Hall of Famer. Based on retiring on top. Based on retiring under his own terms. Did I mention the Hall of Fame status? Based on his Olympic accomplishments. Based on his Amatuer background. I can go on and on. Please stop trashing the good people of the sport just for a failing arguementComment

Due to the fact that there are so many belts, the original belt holder has to be taken into account as well.
First of all dont tell me what to do and secondly where have I lied?
After beating Holyfiled to become the undisputed champion Lewis vacated his IBF belt to avoid facing Byrd. He would later on vacate his WBA belt to avoid facing Ruiz. Due to the inconclisive nature of his win over Vitali he was ordered by the WBC to give Vitali a rematch, he said he would then chose to retire instead. Is this great according to you? He never beat the best of his ers handily either, there were a number of fighters he struggled with Bruno, Rahman, Holyfield, McCall
Toney is a hof as well. I have never trashed Lewis accomplishments either, what have I lied about? Was the Tyson he beat prime to you?Comment

Are these elite fighters to you? Bruno was a C class fighter at best. Ruddock was shot to hell after two wars with Tyson, why aren't you taking any of this stuff into account? Mercer deserved a rematch and Lewis never gave him one eitherComment
