Is Lennox Lewis The Heavyweight GOAT Behind Ali?

[paulf]

What about Rocky Marciano?

[soul_survivor]

Well, I reckon Holyfield, Foreman, Holmes and Lewis all have arguments for being that second guy. Out of that lot, Foremand has the best resume and THAT come back, Holyfield achievements and Holmes with the better skillset.

Certainly should never argue if Lewis is better than Ali lol

[LockardTheGOAT]

No because it was proven more than once that it only took one punch to beat him. This was done by average fighters.

Also another average fighter in Mercer outjabbed him, Lewis was lucky to win that fight.

If all it took was one good punch to take him out and yet he managed to amass the number of victories and accolades that he did regardless, that would only make him look more impressive. Hater.

i'd argue that lennox lewis is the greatest heavyweight of all time.

My favorite heavyweight ever! Top 3 for sure if not THE BEST!

If Ali was hit by the punch Corrie landed on Lewis he would have got up and recovered. If Frazier had landed the punch he landed on Ali in their first fight Lewis would not have gotten up. Sorry, but Ali had it all...speed, power and an almost supernatural ability to recover quickly. Lewis is up there but Ali is the greatest HW of all time without a doubt.

Apart from Marciano what other heavyweight dominated his division and defeated every man he ever faced?
What other heavyweight had the skillset along with the strength/power and size that came along with it? Probably no one.

come on dude, he beat tyson in 2002 when it didn't matter

You forget that Ali was robbed of his prime. who knows what he could of achieved in those 3/4 years he was robbed of.

I hope this a troll thread OR we have a lot of UK boxing fans on here.

Like srsly?

Better than Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano, Larry Holmes, & a prime Mike Tyson?

No.

Lennox fought bums in a bum ass era.

He beat Holyfield & Tyson when they were wayyyy past their primes.

It's not his fault that he fault in a terrible era, but it is his fault he lost to Haseem Rahman

Lennox was a talented guy FOR HIS TIME. He is not an immortal.
