Is Lennox Lewis The Heavyweight GOAT Behind Ali?

[just the facts]

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

And you would be wrong (as usual)

[hugh grant]

Lennox was the best of his era. The era just after Tyson and hokyfield that is.

But lennox. was being outboxed by bruno un til Bruno ran out of steam.
Lennox relied on power. He looked ponderous compared to Ali.
Lennox is top 5 though

Two KO losses in the middle of his prime to two guys who aren't that good hurts him. It's admirable that he avenged both losses by KO but he never should have been KOed by them in the first place. What if Mayweather had been KOed by both Ortiz and Guerrero and then KOed both of them in rematches. That would greatly lessen how good of fighter most fans thought him to be. Lewis avenging those two KO losses doesn't make them go away. Still Lewis is one of the best heavyweights of all time. I think the Ali who beat Cleveland Williams before he was not allowed to box would beat any version of Lewis. Before Ali was forced out of boxing in the middle of his prime he was extremely hard to beat. He had hand and foot speed that no 210 pound heavyweight has ever matched. Ali did loses his share of fights when he was past prime.

To me, it just shows that anything can happen and anyone can get caught. Him avenging those losses and having an illustrious career otherwise still speaks for itself. The positives still far, far outweight the negatives.

Ali was knockjed down by banks when he was 20.
As for whos greater its down to what yoiu prefer really.
Ali fight better guys, and he danced better on feet and moire pleasant to watch. Lennox hit harder and head toi head might be favoured to beat Ali.
So its a pick em em. But I pick a!i

Who was Lenox's:

Liston
Foreman
Frazier

???

LMFAO at people saying he beat Tyson as if that was some amazing accomplishment at the time oh and him beating a tiny Holyfield in comparison lol. The monsters Ali beat were the same size if not then bigger, he didn't hold any size or weight advantage over his greatest foes like Lewis did and Wlad did for so long.

Who the hell else can say they lost 3 years of their physical prime and came back to win in some of his greatest fight.

People thought Foreman was going to kill the well past prime Ali damn it.

There will never be another like him, ever!
