    He did not fight better competition

    Holyfield, Tyson, the better klit are all hof. Wlad has never fought anyone hof who’s his best win haye

      Rankings are subjective. Title reigns are longer or shorter than others. Personally both guys in their prime I'd pick Lewis to win. I'd also rather watch him fight than Wlad.

          Wlad definitely. 10 years undefeated. Unprecedented run at heavyweight. Bigger, more athletic, better looking, better ambassador for the sport.

          Wlad packed the huge stadiums in Germany and was the biggest boxing star of his generation.

          Lennox simply didn't have the longevity to be compared with Wlad and was knocked out twice, he never had a proper dominant run.

            Not sure why Wlads long career means anything when everyone agrees the era was the worst.
            Wlad does NOTHING better than Lewis could.

            Wlad an ATG? Seriously you must be kidding or blind.
            Put him in the HoF but he is NOT an ATG. He fought nobodies.

              Lewis, Clearly.

              The Last Great Heavyweight IMO. Could have competed in any era.

                  Wlad made that era look bad by how bad he was beating everybody. He broke everyone's spirit.

                  He was just a superior specimen. A real superheavyweight and the most athletic boxer ever.

                  There is no boxer in history who wouldn't rack up at least 10 loses if he tried to go through Wlad's resume if he was forced to box that long.

                  Lewis boxed for 13 years, Wlad had a pro career of 21 years on top of winning a gold medal. Imagine if Lewis had to go through 7 more years and face the competition Wlad was facing. He would have like 15 losses. A 41 year old version Lewis would get murdered by 2017 version of Joshua.

                  Like I said, NOBODY in the history of boxing wouldn't go through Wlad's resume without at least 10 loses.

                    Why didn't he compete in the 00s era then? Because he was shot to pieces in his mid-30s and couldn't go on while Wlad boxed on the elite level until he was 41. Lewis retired in shame, Wlad went out on his shield after a longer and better career.

                    Longevity is the most important thing when evaluating a boxer's legacy. Everyone can have a good run for a few years but there are very few boxers who can dominate for 10 years or more while facing every challenger.

                      "There is no boxer in history who wouldn't rack up at least 10 loses if he tried to go through Wlad's resume if he was forced to box that long"...............................

                      Seriously his opponents actually are horrible............
                      If you think he was a great fighter thats fine.....................
                      To me he gets destroyed against great boxers.
                      When he gets hurt he stays hurt!

                      Good luck with your worshiping.
