    How highly do you regard Lennox Leiws?

    Lewis as an amateur won Olympic gold defeating Rid**** Bowe in the final.
    As a pro Lewis was British, European and Commonwealth Champion. 3 times World HW champion. Two times World Linear Champion.
    Lewis retired with a 41-2-1 (32) record, having defeated every fighter he faced.
    Lennox has one of the greatest records for any HW in history.

    How highly do you regard the East London Assasin?
    HOF? ATG? Top 5 all time HW?

      Very highly indeed. One of the best HW ever to lace em' up.

      That said, I find Lennox to be a bit of pompous cvnt in interviews and as a commentator.

          I regard him as the best HW of all time.

          I'm talking head-to-head here. As far as I'm concerned, a prime Lewis beats any HW in history.

            Top 3 without a doubt.

            Beat every man he faced and in doing so, avenged defeats.

              I think a few people will bite your head off for this but I think it's a very realistic statement. Although I think prime Ali would have been a very tough style for Lewis to deal with. Ali was more accurate when he was punching up, plus he was a little sharper and faster than Lewis overall.
