      lewis over klitchsko easily. what kinda question is that. klitchsko was prime. foreman was not.

      holyfield also lost to a prime rid**** bowe as well. pls mention that. in total, lewis had the better reign. career wise, if u ask me it think holyfield ranks higher atg wise. but in heavyweight, lewis > holyfield. i mean, he beat him.

        IMO, It's Mike Tyson.

        But it's very debatable.

        Holyfield and Lewis have a very strong argument for being greater than him. But on my list, Tyson is higher than both of them at HW.

          Tyson was past prime. Getting floored by berbick and page in sparring.

          By prime Tyson im talking the one trained by Kevin Rooney.

            How does Lewis have an argument?

              So? This means what exactly?

              Sandy Saddler beat Willie Pep 3 times, are you suggesting he should be ranked higher than Willie Pep?

                The best heavyweight is Wladimir Klitschko.

                  Foreman at that age is better than Klitschko. Lewis never fought anyone as good as Prime Bowe.

                  Also losing to Bowe>>>>getting KTFO by Rahman and Mcall.

                  Holyfield was shot when Lewis beat him.

                      Lewis has longevity over Tyson. He beat alot of top fighters and a good Lineal Reign.

                      Like I said, I personally have Tyson over Lewis at HW.

                      But, I'm not going to be unreasonable and suggest Lewis doesn't have an argument, he evidently does.
