Is Lennox Lewis an ATG?

[IronDanHamza]

No, I don't think so.

[Weltschmerz]

To me he is THE greatest HW of all time. Ask Vitali.

He is close to that - but no one beat prime Ali.

JAB's banned? Wow i missed a lot. What happened there? Threats?

Not sure.Apparently it was only for 90 days,so he'll be back by the end of the month.

Right below Ali.

[gmc_rfc_06]

He could have beaten any HW.

There would obviously be a few that he could lose also, but Lewis was good enough to win against anybody.

Yes. He's definitely in the Top 10 at HW for me, would have been Top 5 if Bowe hadn't ducked him. I'd say based on resume and career, he's not inside the Top 50 but definitely in the Top 100, which to me is ATG.

H2H he's definitely in the Top 5 HW's of all-time, but not on career/resume in my opinion. Ali, Louis, Johnson, Foreman, and Holyfield all had better resumes than Lewis.

But I'd only favor prime versions of Ali, Holyfield, and Holmes over him. Foreman-Lewis would have been an amazing fight.

Lennox was good, but his sill set would have been to limited to deal with Ali in his prime (64-67). Frazier and Norton wouldn't have beat Ali in his prime either.

[craigus1990]

Considering most people will have him in their top 5 heavyweights of all time, how can this question even be asked?

[BattlingNelson]

I'd say Lewis is the greatest heavyweight since Ali.

Better than Holmes and Foreman?
