I feel bad for Wlad & Vitali in these debates ten years from now...Comment

These lists are always open to debate. Lewis's resume is decent, and he fought all-comers, so that, for me, places him reasonably high on a list. If, however, you view these lists as solely based on names on a resume, he is further down. And, if you see them as H2H fantasy match-ups, he is ranked higher.

I will agree that Lewis was the more skillful fighter.
However, Louis destroyed his division as the single reigning champ for how many years? Lewis was the champ for 3,5 years. His resume is a good one. I agree. But everything put together I think Joe Louis clearly ranks higher. Louis' best wins are better than Lewis' best wins and as a fighter he gets points from me for going after the kill. Lewis was safety first in the prime of his career.
I don't even know why the guy would mention Grant and Morrison in the conversation of Lewis' best wins.
Wlad will get his fair dues for the champ he is/was. Vitali will be remembered for what he was as well, a belt holder who fought below par opposition for the majority of his career.Comment

Of course they are open. But if you look at the fighters in their prime, what they achieved and their overall skills - which is always what I go after - Louis ranks way higher.

Yeah, you do, unless you're more ****** than I think so far and I'm on drugs, dude, I consider most people here smarter than me, I consider you an idiot here. No reasonable argument can ever be made that Louis is better than Lewis.Comment
