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...
I mean lets think about who we have in the top 10 at heavyweight. In no order.
Muhammad Ali
Joe Frazier
Rocky Marciano
Joe Louis
Larry Holmes
Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney
Evander Holyfield
Sonny Liston
George Foreman
honorable mention
Mike Tyson
Max Schmeling
Archie Moore
if lennox was still fighting he would have losses to both Klitchskos and maybe hurt his legacy, just an opionon, he would have stuck around to long and done what most greats have

Agree with u their Totally LEWIS is a smart man he knew after the Klitchko fight that his time had come, i just wish HOLYFIELD would do the same cause Holyfeild is killing his Lagacy doing this **** u think a old friend or trainer would have the BALLs to tell him he should stop fighting
Honestly this guy was better then i thought, and i would defintly consider him in my top 10 boxers of all-time, and even top 5 Heavies, his resume is baskically flawless with only two blimish that came 7 years apart and that he later OBLIVIATED, he fought a draw(HE WON)with a guy who beat TYSON twice and even won a UD over him the second time, His last five fights read 4-1 with 3 kos each one against HASIM RAHMAN, MIKE TYSON, AND TECHNICALLY VITALI KLITSCHKO HIS SECOND LOST WAS TO rahman FORMENTIONED IN THE KOed LIST, AND HE SOUNDLY BEAT DAVID TUA FOR THE 1st OF THE FIVE! FINSIHED WITH A 41(32)-2-1 RECORD and BAISCALLY OUTBOXED EACH OF HIS OPPONENTS! YEAH ITS TRUE HIS A TOP 10!
NOTABLE WINS:
TONY TUCKER
FRANK BRUNO
TOMMY MORRISON
RAY MERCER
ANDREW GOLOTA
SHANNON BRIGGS
FRANCOIS BOTHA
Not a top 10 Boxer, but no doubt a top 10/5 Heavyweight. I have said time and time again that people wont apricate him until he's been gone awhile. Look at the garbage your putting up with today at Heavyweight.
Those who say he wfought in a weak era are just showing how little they know about the sport. The 90's was the second deepest Heavyweight era in history.

im one of those guys that believes once you achieve a legacy/legend status, nothing can take it from you. RJJ, Holyfield, Hopkins are all legends and regardless if they lose 5 in a row, it wont matter.
