Could Lennox Lewis be the greatest ?

[Kris Silver]

Yes, he could well be. But he and a few others of previous era's have strong cases.

Too bad ranters repeatedly posting the same shit, have ruined what could have been a valuable conversation for many other people.

So did rocky Marciano, but when looking at him under the microscope, who did he really beat? Tyson's win over an old but but still very good Larry Holmes is better than anything on Lennox record.

I guess Lennox win over Vitali is pretty underated. Vitali hasn't got a great record himself, but his name on Lewis record looks damn good to be honest.

I don't think Tyson's win over an inactive Holmes is all that impressive. It's the equal of Lennox's win over Tyson, if not worst.

Lewis's win over Holyfield, who was coming off one of the best win of his career 3 bouts prior, is also underated. They fought for the undisputed title, they were the 2 best HW in the world, so Holyfield wasn't shot for sure.

It would be great if someone could tell how many top 5-10 fighters Lewis beat, I'm sure JoeyZag has that info.
