Lennox Lewis vs Joe Louis' Resumes (wins)!

[turbotime]

I can see that, but you've left quite a few out of Louis' strong contenders (Farr, Bivins, McCoy) and Tyson doesn't belong in the elite category at that stage in his career. Tua is arguable.

Bivins was a strong light heavy, not so much at heavyweight IMO.

in this sense louis' resume isnt far beyond that of lewis

That's really all I see too. I was just arguing with an old timer today about how the 90s heavyweights get no love.

There's no real point in giving their records as every top fighter in Louis' day had several losses, because they fought so often. It seems to me that this thread has been made to try to glorify Lewis. there's no comparison between the two. Louis was almost unique and rated the best heavyweight in history by almost every top historian. whereas Lewis was just very good for his era.

My opinion.

louis via knockout

i dont think he'd be able to take the right hand away.

I argee lennox drops him
