    1)He has beaten everyman he has ever faced
    2)Was a legit two time HW champion
    3)Had all 3 belts unlike some "so called" champions.

      Pretty much the same guys as Tyson and Holyfield, you don't have a problem with them being top ten. It isn't his fault that the most recognizable fighters on his resume were in the twilight of their careers when they fought. I don't even like the cheating ****er, but I can't think of ten guys that could have beat him.

              Yes I agree but top 10 lists are based on accomplishments, not on who would have beat who in their primes. If that were the case I would rank Tyson at number one.

                What are you trying to say? Are you saying the 90s were an era of weak heavyweights.Well that is wrong.

                Evander Holyfield
                Mike Tyson
                Rid**** Bowe
                Michael Moore
                Bert Cooper
                Tommy Morrison
                Shannon Briggs
                George Foreman
                Wlad Klitshcko
                Vitali Klitschko
                Andrew Golota
                Ike Ibeabuchi
                and coutless others

                Rid**** Bowe and Mike Tyson both gave up belts so as no to fight Lewis in the early/mid 90s. And The two HWs Lewis lost to were really not that bad. Mccall was a very good fighter he just had mental/emontional problems,and Rahman is a pretty decent fighter when hes on his game.And he beat both of those guys in rematchs. Not many champions other than Marciano can say they beat everyman they ever faced.

                I really can't see why you wouldn't put Lewis in the top 10.

                  To win a heavyweight belt that many times, he had to lose a lot too
