That was the cause of the eye injury. Lennox Lewis clearly sc****d Vitali Klitschko's left eye with his thumb (an illegal punch). Thus, the eye damage wasn't even caused by a legal boxing move and anyone arguing that Lennox Lewis is superior or better than Vitali Klitschko because he damaged Vitali's eyes with his thumb, is using an illegal move from Lewis to prove that point. Which means Lewis only proved that he was 'superior' and 'better' at using illegal moves to win bouts.

Clearly a punch.

Lewis
Wlad
Vitali
Holmes
Tyson or Holyfield

Havent really been that many great dominant HW fighters since the Ali era.

Im a Vlitali fan. And lewis ****ed his eye up fair and square. The glove scraping bull**** needs to stop its been like 15 years lol

Id go along with that except swap Holmes and Lewis. Holmes is seriously underrated, I mean almost criminally so.

beyond criminally. Larry Holmes is the most underrated heavyweight boxer of all time (or at least my lifetime) IMO. even when he was 49-0 he was getting s*it on.

and I don't care what people say, he beat Spinks.

Clearly a punch.

I think I actually agree with RB for once. Mind you the gif isn't fool proof, but I watched that match about a month ago (TKO6, right?) And I'm fairly sure it was a legit punch. The big fear behind the cut was how terrible of a cut it was while Vlitali was so clearly winning the fight.

But it wasn't an illegal jab, there was no thumb, there was no sc****. Some fighters just have "cutting jabs." Ali comes to mind. I think something along the lines of 65% of his knockouts were stoppages due to cuts.

1. larry
2. lenny
3. Holyfield
4. tyson
5. 38 year old retired corrie sander


na just kidding 5 is either Witherspoon, tucker or Bowe.

My only doubt is holyfield, because of his blatant drug use.


This is h2h ability. Accomplishments would be a little different and would include Wlad K for instance.

um no, the cause of the injury was vitali on this rare occasion actually fighting someone really good.

Or, note how he never gets cut so in any of his other fights against middlers.

The odds against your call are astronomical. do the math dude, its been 15 years.

Vitali Klitschko also landed many legal punches which inflicted a lot of visible damage on Lennox Lewis's face too.

well he didnt land enough. case closed.

Look how hard Lennox was holding onto the microphone because he knew old man Merchant was going to try to play him, yet he desperately wanted to have the last word.





That being said:

Holmes
Lewis
Holyfield
Tyson or Wlad
