Conteh used to spar with Frank Bruno and John Mugabi after he'd retired and held his own! Yeah, Conteh, what can you say? He was a very good fighter, but not one of the very very best.

    He didn't have a lengthy career.....but was quite a sharp, classy fighter.

      You've got atleast Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, Jersey Joe Walcott, Max Schmeling and Gene Tunney all ahead of Lennox Lewis, that's at the very least. Rid**** Bowe from Bowe-Holyfield I would of beaten Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield from Bowe-Holyfield II would of beaten Lennox Lewis. John L Sullivan and Jack Johnson were greater than Lennox Lewis.
      Lewis beat Bowe in amatuers...Bowe refused to face Lewis in professionals...just because his style beats Holyfield doesnt mean his style can beat Lewis, everyone has a different style and styles make fights

      TOP 10 HEAVYWEIGHTS (ALL TIME LIST)


      1. Muhammad Ali

      2. Joe Louis

      3. Floyd Patterson

      4. George Foreman

      5. Lennox Lewis

      6. Evander Holyfield

      7. Mike Tyson

      8. Larry Holmes

      9. Joe Frazier

      10. Sonny Liston

        If we're going on talent alone, Herol Graham is up there ahead of Eubank and Naz.

          Patterson....#3 ?

          That's a typo, right ?

          Floyd was an underrated fighter, but certainly doesn't deserve to be ranked that high. In fact, he's not even a top-tenner.

          He was a super-talented fighter, but a bit too small & fragile to be a hevayweight all-timer.

              That website is notorious for mistakes. That would be one of them, definitely.

                  Benn beat a prime Eubank and a prime McClellan at 168, that alone is much better than picking on ancient, washed-up legends (Holyfield and Tyson way past their best). I also think Benn's win over Barkley is better than Lennox Lewis' over Ruddock. Nigel Benn was the most exciting fighter ever and would fight anybody any time any place anywhere, Lennox Lewis was a chess player.

                    the thing is, lennox would beat half those guys
                    how can you have tyson above lewis?
                    can you imagine lewis vs patterson or walcott?
                    lennox is easily top ten
