    Oh, I forgot I was dealing with the most knowledgeable poster of all time here

    Lennox Lewis is a top 5 HW of all time, deal with it.

      Not even closest thing to the most knowledgeable poster. It just ignorant to assume that me saying he's not a top 5 ATG is because he beat a hero of mine.

      It just that he is not a top 5 ATG HW. I give Lewis a lot props. I like Lewis, I think Lennox is clearly top 10 ATG HW IMO. And, some might not disagree. But, he's not a top 5 ATG HW.

      I would rank Ali, Louis, Johnson, Foreman, and Holmes ahead of him. Holyfied, Liston, Frazier, and Marciano all have a case to be rank ahead of him also. I don't rank all of them ahead of him. But, they have a case and an argument that I would not debate. He's not a top 5 ATG.

        Why don't you come up with an analysis if it's "clearly " Lewis.

          Ali, Louis and Holmes, sure. Foreman and Johnson? And Liston, Frazier and Holyfield being ranked above Lewis Is it a joke?

              I'm sorry, I don't see the argument for Lewis over Holmes or Holyfield either.

                Holmes went 15 rounds with a joke fighter like Tex Cobb, fercrissake.

                Cobb would be flattened by Lennox or Vitali in short order.

                    Everyone you named in this post absolutely has an argument to be ranked above Lennox Lewis.

                    The fact you think it's a joke that the likes of Sonny Liston, Joe Fraizer, George Foreman and Evander Holyfield could be ranked above Lennox Lewis is just ******.
