    You're mad because I made fun of Usyk? What a sad little man you are. Rocky would hurt Usyk badly.




    All you exposed was your lack of understanding the difference between a three body system and a single body system like the dumb**** you are



    It doesn't take any intellect at all to be a Boxrec whore. You're just a cliche. What amazes me is how you assume you've imparted anyone with any information they did not have.


    I know you're real ****ing ****** so let me explain in real simple terms. If not for my affinity to entertain just about any dumbass who responds to me your posts would amount to "So?"

    Ricky posed a solid question, I responded to it. You just posted random **** you think detracts from a record.

    let me exemplify that. That bit about " If I posted what happened after Marciano" You're ****ing dumb, I already did. In the post you're responding to the first stat I threw out was he retired 25 men. The **** are you going to bring up about guys performances post Marciano when I've already pointed out the majority, more than half of them, were put into retirement you goofy neanderthal prick? The remaining minority didn't do so well?


    Chittering monkey, climbs a tree, calls himself tall.
    lewis would destroy Marciano ......knock him in to tomorrow.
    Marciano has zero chance with Lewis ...zilch

      I'm surprised that Lennox Lewis doesn't get more love when it comes to the All-time GOAT list. His resume is one of the strongest in history. No HW fighter beat every man he faced while doing it against strong competition.

      -Olympic Gold Medalist
      -3 time HW Champion
      -Retired as the HW Champion

      Beat:
      Razor Rudduck
      Mike Tyson
      Evander Holyfield
      Vitali Klitschko


      Muhammad Ali is the GOAT but after that Lennox Lewis compares just as well to Joe Louis, George Foreman, Sonny Liston.

      "Lennox Lewis is the greatest Heavyweight of all-time" -George Foreman
      I agree he's in the ATG discussion, especially H2H. LL was very big man for the 90's HW division and had serious skills. The only knock on him Is that he was starched twice while in his prime.

        This ^ and I don't think anyone outside of a serious Rocky fan would disagree. Simply too large of a size and skill gap

          Lewis in his prime can hang in any era. Especially those smaller HW era, he is very underrated IMHO. I mean he took on Vitali who is very durable and stop him on cuts in a fight he was losing. He throws a different arsenal of punches, he has the right speed for a big man and I could see him destroying this current top of HW in the same year, back to back.. I would have love to see him and Wlad share the ring.

            If you give a credit to Lennox for beating Mike Tyson, than you must give Mike Tyson a credit for beating Holmes.

            And, yeah, Larry Holmes had better career than Lennox.

              Holyfield was over the hill by then.

                Tyson was well past his prime by the time they fought, but I still think Lewis was a nightmare matchup for him regardless. And you forgot to add he whitewashed Tua as well.

                Top 3 GOAT, I'm not sure he's up there, but top 3 for HWs, I can get with that.

                  I can see how this post has something to do with the post you've quoted me in.

                    Well obviously but I'm no crapping on Lewis those are just the straight up facts. A top 3 fighter in the world does not lose to 2 journeyman in his prime, let alone by KO.

                      Ranking Heavyweights is a bi.tch. They're not the same size, so you're kinda doing a P4P list.
                      I guess it depends on your criteria:

                      Head-to-Head
                      Longevity
                      Precociousness
                      Defenses
                      Quality of Opposition
                      How he advanced the sport
                      the eye test


                      Fury easily tops the list: No one beats that guy when he is on; best defensively; best comeback in Boxing history. Everyone else, even at their best or near it, was beaten.

                      Ali and Lewis obviously round out the top 3.

                      Holmes probably sneaks in before anyone else.

                      Then you have guys like Vitali, Foreman and even Frazier.

                      After that you can start talking about Lewis.

                      Something like this is probably about as close as you'll get to accurate:

                      Fury
                      Ali
                      Louis
                      Holmes
                      Klitchko
                      Foreman
                      Frazier
                      Lewis
                      Klitchko
                      Dempsey
                      Wilder
                      Holyfield
                      Marciano
                      Norton
                      Tyson
                      Liston
