    He will be remembered as a top 7-12 heavyweight. No way in hell does he crack the top 5. Getting KTFO twice by a couple of journeymen puts an end to that argument.

        They were mediocre at best. Lennox was probably top 10, not top 5. I think that is very fair

            Lennox Lewis was a very good boxer and a good champion. I often did not like the way he fought or boxed, but he knew what he had to do to win.
            On the other hand he never beat a great fighter in his prime, Tyson, Holyfield, even Tua was not at his best.

              I think he was top ten not top 5 tho, however he probably was a top 5 talent in the HW division. He had a good combination of size and skill with a tremendous jab. If he had fought Bowe and beat Tyson in his prime and won that gold metal at the usual age 18 or so instead of coming back at 22 to do it against younger fighters. Then I think his legacy would be a little more complete,and the last thing that hurt him somewhat was his dull personality. That's not his fault but it's just the way things go unfairly or not.
