Lennox Lewis Is DEFINTLY a top 10

[Sir_Jose]

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.

Agree 100%. How many legends have we seen stick around to long? Who cares that Ali lost to Berbick does anyone think that takes away from what he did or what kind of fighter he was in his prime? If anyone does they should just stop watching Boxing.

Oh and Lennox was past it and he still BEAT Vitali. SCOREBOARD.

[blockhead]

i lost all respect for the man, personally. sure, i'm partial to the klitschko brothers, but i'm also a believer in pride and honor. firstly, no way should someone even whisper ko when talking about lennox versus vitaly. lennox was LOSING and looking pathetic when the fight got called against vitaly's wishes for a cut that needed what, 60 some stiches around his eye? also, he get's introduced as beating every man he's ever faced. so it's general knowledge that he was down on points vs. klitschko, everyone in the world wanted a rematch, he promised one to vitaly, and he ducks out and retires "on top with nothing left to prove." excuse me??? until he actually "beats" vitaly, not a win, but beats the man, whatever. he should've retired before vitaly. that was just sad going out like that. in my opinion.

this post is hilarious. a kilitchko sac rider is criticising lennox lewis for retireing with his titles. thats really ironic considering that vitali was GIVEN his title and was so afraid of losing it that rahman forced him into retirement.
and this **** about vitali wining on the cards against lennox. maybe he was but lennox tore his ****ing face apart. if that fight wouldnt have been stopped vitalis naked gay modeling career and his boxing career would be over.
vitali=one of the five WORST paper champions (the word champion should never be used in reference to this turd) in any division in any time.

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

tony tucker? frank bruno? morrison? mercer? golota? briggs? BOTHA?! do you really think these names will stand the test of time? do you really think that these bums are worth mentioning when listing noteworthy lewis opponents?

the only remotely legendary or great or whatever names on that resume are holyfield (old), tyson (very old), rahman (undeserved), and mccall (only cuz of the upset).

nobody else mattered, and nobody will remember or care who else lewis fought.

[Dye]

Morrison would KO Rahman and mccall

Lennox is surely top 15 all-time. He beat everyone he fought, something rarely accomplished in boxing. A legit hall of famer who I think would have given alot of all-time greats a VERY tough fight. And yeah, people who watched him fight over the years will remember Lennox Lewis and people years from now will read about him.
