How highly do you regard Lennox Leiws?

[Elroy1]

Where does Ross Purrity fit in? 5-10?

About as far away as Muhammad does, not even close!

[Elroy1]

I remember watching this. The sound of that right hand is something I will always remember.

Lennox Lewis's greatest performance.

And one of the best knockouts in heavyweight history.

Agreed!

You just said that you rank Ali in the top 10 though, are you drunk Tommo1, Jimmy the geek, hweightblogger, elroy1?

Again, you don't read so well!

I clearly said that I rank Muhammad Ali in the top for achievement.

I don't rank him H2H at all near the top, just like Ross.

Obviously I don't rank Ross near the top with Ali in terms of achievement at all! Because he LOST against the criteria of his day.

This isn't difficult to understand.

Lennox Lewis participated against one of the strongest line ups of HW boxers in history, suffered only 2 losses by shock KO from big punchers when he was not switched on, avenged one properly and can't be blamed for the other having a mental break down!

He was among the most dominant HW of all time, had one other close fight against MErcer, Mercers best performance, Lewis's worst, and dug deep and still won!

He looked absolutely beautiful when he boxed (Rahman 2, Tua, Tyson, Holyfield 1, Morrison and so on) had among the best jabs, best straight rights, overhand rights, right uppercuts.

Could switch animal and **** out some of the best HW's of the era too, Superheavies like Golota and Grant!

And did all this absorbing relatively little damage for such a hard hitting and quality era.

So to say that Lewis is not right at or near the top of the greatest HW's of all time, is a mild "understatement".

Lol what? I didn't say Lewis doesn't rank highly. Simply said his boxing was overrated, and I'd have to disagree about it being a "thing of beauty", Lennox' boxing was kind of ugly and not that creative. Also I'm not a fan of excuses, as conveniently every single time Lewis either got knocked out or had subpar performances, it's due to some excuse. Give it a rest... he's a top fighter and doesn't need the excuses.

Who is talking H2H here other than you?

You seem to be mixing those two up at your convenience.

Fine.

So Ross Puritty doesn't rank anywhere near my top 10 in either category, obviously!

Thus answering your original question!

You seem easily confused my son.

Maybe it's nap time.

Most drunks I know are reasonable next to Elroy. Alcohol would have to induce a level of ******ity off the charts, or Elro would have to drink a reservoir full of it to achieve such blissfully ignorant understandings.

If you can make even a single objective argument, I am all ears?
