Top 5 Best Heavyweights

[Morton Belgram]

Does all time=the past twenty years?

Yeah. The boxers are bigger and better now. No reason to look into ancient times. Every sport in the world is evolving, you have to be naive to think that boxing is somehow the only sport in the world that is not evolving...

Prime George Foreman would annihilate any version of Lewis. And Ali wasnt in his peak when he beat him, I strongly believe Ken Norton, Ernie Shavers would beat him as well. Ron Lyle would also have a chance.

Ali was much faster than Lewis, had a better engine than him, a much better chin and superior heart. Past prime Ali beats Lewis comfortably I can only imagine what a prime Ali would do to him.

Prime George Foreman is not skilled enough to keep up with Lewis. Foreman was used to fight guys who were much smaller and less skilled than Lewis, he would be absolutely clueless in the face of a skilled giant who could outbox him from the distance all night.

As for Ali, then no, he wouldn't win by just being faster. This is not a kungfu movie. He would be up against a bigger and more skilled opponent than he had ever fought before. Of course Lewis would outpoint him. Honestly, even if you do not take Lewis's superior resume into consideration, then you should know the truth just by looking at them in action... Lewis is from a more developed era.

Larry Holmes should be in there.

Lennox Lewis doesn't have a glass jaw. He has a good jaw and the punches that knocked him out would have badly damaged any heavyweight and stopped most of them.

Rahman and McCall wasn't known for knocking out anyone else (of significance) so it's hard to say the same thing would've happened anyone else.

I like Lewis but when you get sparked out by two journeymen it's hard to call you the best ever.

Gerry Cooney at 6ft6 was much smaller than Lewis? How about Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Lou Savarese. None of these guys were much smaller than Lewis. Norton was more skilled than Lewis and he got demolished in 2 rounds.

Old man Foreman was giving a young Holyfield all he could handle and you think a prime Foreman wouldnt be able to keep up with Lewis? Lol

smh at this nonsense

[HURTFEELINGS]

Prime Foreman, beats them all

Hasim Rahman is not exactly a journeyman. I seriously think he could beat guys like Joe Frazier and Ken Norton.

Regardless, Lewis is much better than Rahman and proved that in the rematch.

Your hatred for Lennox Lewis is blinding you. I love Muhammad Ali, but come on, the only win he had that would be significant today is George Foreman...

None of the fighters you mentioned are as skilled as Lewis, bro. I respect all those old school guys, but the sport has changed a lot.

i agree with lennox, most of the greats lost at some point so to bring up a loss in the HW division where one punch can end everything should be out the door. Lennox is my fav HW. aj is not in the top 5 greatest of all time, he can be but we have to see how his career plays out.
