    its the opposite in my view. I think hes become overrated by many. he gets way too much credit for beating tyson and holyfields corpses. I think he is a top 10 atg but he did have his flaws as you saw in the mercer,,mcall,,,bruno and rahman 1 fights

      Better than Roy Jones.

          Prime versions of Tyson, Foreman, Ali, Holmes.

          And if Holyfield went 24 rounds with him, Joe Louis would give him hell.

          Many fans also argue that Vitali would beat him in a rematch.

            Lennox and Wladimir are the 2 best H2H heavyweights of all time, they're too big and strong for the legends of the past.

                  Yea he really is, truly the best heavyweight of his era, beat every guy he faced, completely cleaned out the division, then damaged vitalis face before retirement.

                    He shouldn't have retired and fought Vitali in a rematch then.

                      he's top 10 for sure. top 2 is too high for a man who's best wins are against washed up fighters in holyfield and Tyson. I think both would have beaten him in the early 90's. especially the version of evander that fought foreman and bowe the first time
