Is Lennox Lewis considered an 'ATG Heavyweight'? This person says no.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Lewis at his best beats any HW in history.

[Mr. Philadel]

Easily top 10.

This^^^^^^^^

No doubt about it!!!!

[Jimmy 23]

Top 3 easily

[B-Bomber]

Top 3 easily

I strongly disagree with this.

Although I have no problem with Lewis being considered a top 10 Atg, I don't believe he is a top 3, especially not " easily".

Ali and Louis are 1st and second in whatever order you like.

After those two, it is not so obvious, but guys like Holmes, Marciano, Frazier, Foreman, Dempsey, Jack Jhonson, Sonny Liston and Ezzard Charles all have a case for being in a top 10.

Also Holyfield , Tyson and Patterson are in the mix, maybe to a slightly lesser extent.

Top 5 ATG for me

Lewis at his best beats any HW in history.

Maybe, one thing that is for sure is that many people still under rate the guy.

[dynomyte1444]

Yes...this is an easy question

[Simurgh]

without any doubt. He is top5 ATG.

[Public_Enemy]

Of course. Highly skilled fighter with a very good resume. Lennox is the best heavyweight of his era.

Lewis at his best beats any HW in history.

Yes. And at their best most any top heavyweight can beat Lewis as well. Lewis will be competitive against all ATGs provided he's in shape and maintains focus (something he's had problem with).

I have Lewis at TOP 10 (on most days).

Joe Louis
Muhammad Ali
Larry Holmes

would win 4 out 5 fights. (IMHO)

Jack Johnson
Sonny Liston
George Foreman
Evander Holyfield (a younger version - we're talking about prime v prime here)

would beat LL 3 out of 5. (again IMHO)

Mike Tyson (with his head screwed on straight -- a big if)
Rid**** Bowe
Joe Frazier
Ernie Shavers
Ken Norton

would be toss-ups. The list get's too long. LL is an ATG.

TOP 10 at best.
