Lennox Lewis - Best Heavyweight Resume Ever

[TheBoxingXpert]

You seem to have a habit of stating your opinion as fact.

Well, I think it seems very obvious.

Lennox is the best HW of all time.

[Real King Kong]

Well, I think it seems very obvious.

As obvious as you rating ray leonard in the top 5 middleweights of all time? Just because you say something, and it sounds good to you, doesn't make it true.

Lewis is top 3, next to Vitali and Ali

If an old and fat Lewis could expose Vitali's defense and punch him so perfectly that he busted open his face, then imagine the horrible things a prime Lewis would do to him. But it would be a tough fight. I think prime Lewis would be the only heavyweight in history able to beat a prime Vitali.

Ali would be a tough fight for Lewis too and his speed and elusiveness would make him able to cause trouble for Lewis. But Lewis' advantage in size and power would make him able to win most of the rounds, taking the fight by decision.

Judging resumes is all about finding the one who proved himself more in his career and that is determined by how he did while fighting the best opponents available.

Yes, and Ali did this best better quality opponents who have been judged higher and better historically. It's not based on your opinion of who could beat who. So really, you just shot your own argument down.

Wladimir doesn't have the chin to hang with Lewis, everybody knows that.
Tyson would simply be at too much of a size disadvantage.
Holyfield and Lewis have comparable skill levels, but the bigger man with the superior power would always win in such match-ups.

Regarding Vitali, his defense was shown to contain some flaws, as the overweight and out-of-prime Lewis was able to hurt him badly by punching open his face. Imagine the horrible things that a prime Lewis would have done to Vitali.

Lewis was rocked several times in his career by far less skilled guys ,Briggs had him wobbled in rnd one . If the more aggressive then Wlad were to have fought him im pretty sure he also does better than Bruno who hurt him also.Allthat is irrelevant because we are going by when at their best .Wlad has the better jab thats all i need to know to call this a 50/50 fight.

Tyson of 1980's would dismantle any version of Lewis and score a k.o 3 out of 5 times.Lewis MAY get a win if Tyson becomes disintrested but thats unlikely .

Lewis was losing the Vitali fight before the cut . Unless you believe a cut like that happens all the time and is more likely to happen before Lewis being wobbled in round two again have at it ...it would be false!

Expose? There was no exposing, he landed a good punch that cut him open. Lewis was rocked a couple times in that fight and was behind the scorecards...

Lewis promised vitali a rematch after that fight.. guess who broke the promise and ran for the hills to retire?

Why do you ignore the fact that Lewis was far past his prime?

Why do you ignore the fact that Lewis was far past his prime?

Why do you ignore the fact that Vitali took the fight on 10 days notice?
