    here is why lennox lewis is an all-time great and vitali is not

    lennox lewis is top 3 all-time great heavyweight who beat the best of his era. vitali klitschko did not beat the best of his time & has been bottom feeding since he came back. he waited until the best guys were done & got old before he came back. he gets hurt & retires instead of fighting rahman, maskaev, tua, tyson, holyfield, bowe, golota, ruiz, toney, botha, grant, oquendo, mccline, mccall, mesi, mercer, barrett, haye, povetkin, ibragimov. he did beat peter, briggs, arreola, donald, sanders, danny williams, kirk johnson. when he was in his prime he could have fought anyone of these guys but it never happened. he was protected by fighting soft tossers who could not hurt him. his best opponents were bryd & lewis & he's 0-2. vitali has had a solid career & won a couple titles but it doesn't matter what anyone says about injury he still never got a signature win vs anyone. just look at the names vitali didn't fight against the men he fought. it says it all...also take note of the names lennox has a win over. both have guys they beat when fading but just look at the names each has fought. it's not close. all these names were in the same era as both. vitali didn't make it count when it would have meant something. after the byrd fight he faded back to europe while byrd went on to win 2 world titles. when vitali was champion back then who did he defend against? when maskaev & rahman were signed he pulled out from injury.

            Good post. I have Lewis at number 5 all-time.

            Vitaly is probably around 25.

                That's a list of mostly wash ups. Lewis is one of the most overrated mofos ever in the history of boxing.

                    If it was very important I would counter on why you're wrong as well but haters are haters. Besides most on here can't comprehend something written over a paragraph.
