    Joe Frazier and George Foreman put him at #1
    Frazier and Foreman have a different top 10 every week. Ignore them as other top 10 boxers don't make good judges.

      great fighter, but imo he wasn't top ten fighter all time p4p. He was probably top ten heavyweight, but his legacy is hurt because he beat some good fighter's that people feel were no longer in their prime.

          i feel you homeboy.....he was getting his ass kick by a one eyed guy...that punk ass ref stopped it simply becuse he was a big lewis fan....thats my only guess..

            lennox lewis in my list would be somewhere around 12-15. i would put him just above names such as witherspoon, bowe, and baer.

              He got his clocked cleaned by Rahman and McCall. You cant take two L's like that and be an ATG. Not saying Lewis wasnt nice, but not top 10.
              he avenged all his losses, that more than most fighters have ever done. Ali had 5 losses....Ray Robinson had losses...it's apart of the game, coming back and still being a dominant force after a loss is what being great is all about, and Lewis did, as well as the other mentioned.......

              Lewis deserves to be in the top 10 list of heavy greats, easily.
              basically he defeated everyone he's fought.....avenging a loss is huge, not only do you have to rise to the occasion, you have to get your mental game back too....bug ups to Lennox...

                he won the fight vs. vitaly fair and square the cut was caused by a PUNCH...

                  it's just too bad he was to much of a pansy not to fight ruiz and byrd.

                  and the only reason he fought vitali was because kirk johnson got injured during training camp.

                      Tyson would kill stone cold. Boxing is real, wrestling is fake!
