      I think the topic about size is more about weight than height. There are 6 footers that fight welterweight. Cmon man. Sharpen those critical thinking skills.

        Will people every accept that fact?
        Mythical Match-ups do NOT = Facts.

          Lewis under Steward got so much better and had a lot of tools.

          But those KO loses to McCall and Rahman at the peak of his career don't make him the sure thing if he faced other top guys.

              In my opinion all-time greats like Ali, Joe Louis, Larry Holmes are all better and I would give Foreman an edge as well.

                Theres no one he couldn't beat to ever lace them up..who would give him the most troubles and hand him a loss as well?

                M.Tyson
                Klitchkos's
                and Joshua

                Would present style match ups that could have a shot and imop favored over Lewis in some cases.

                Pll are very delusional ,to beat Lewis at the top of his game you you better hit hard b/c I don't see no knockout power guy winning on points. You have to crack him to get him out of rhythm.Those are the facts.

                    Lennox's legacy is hurt by the fact that:
                    1) He was easily KOd twice by two journeymen.
                    2) He also lacks a true career defining fight. His best wins are over Tyson (old/over the hill and hadnt had a big win against a top heavyweight in years), Holyfield who was past his best and quite frankly tailor made for Lewis, and Vitali who was actually on his way to defeating Lewis before getting stopped by a fluke cut.

                    Lewis was a very good talent, but he had quite a bit of flaws. He isnt the unbeatable force that the OP is making him out to be.

                      Yet the one time they fought, Vitality was stopped because his face was torn open by Lewis's punches. And Lewis was an overweight 38 year old.
