Very, very high. Top 10 for sure. As a heavyweight he was a marvel to watch and I think he was underappreciated. A ridiculous jab, fluid combinations to the head and body, top notch power, excellent hand speed and could glide around the ring or dig deep in close quarters. When Lennox was on his game, I'd pick him against any and every HW.

LEnnox Lewis is the single most arrogant boxer of all time..
Of any era,
Of any weight class!
I like LEnnox and really enjoy his interviews etc, but it was MAINLY because he always had something scalding to say in that pompous style of his and I especially enjoyed it when he was shown up and had an argument

You don't need to be a body puncher OR combination puncher for success, you only need to do a few things well.
Only in lower divisions do you need a complete package.

I may be in the minority but I never thought to highly of him, his jab wasn't exceptionally fast his footwork wasn't very nimble hes top 20 hw at best , if you listened to the british comentary when he fought it was terrible biased crap ,who did he fight in there prime ? holyfield rematch I thought was close enough that he could have lost , Tyson ? he was finished years before that fight , mercer also beat him, vitali kicked his ass and lewis was lucky the cut stopped the fight ,he was also an arrogant prick during the in ring interview after the vitali fight ,he was also a dirty sob his habit of holding behind the head and hitting as per grant fight was ******, and the age old theory that greats dont get one punch koed by 2 journeymen fighters is relavent , it would be like ali getting one punched koed by wepner or dunn
