Great boxer, power punching, durability, but also coming back from adversity...the fact Bowe, who I also rated very highly, wouldn't go near him...says all you need to know. Lewis fought
Brian Laverick Lennox Lewis, for me, is the best there's ever been.

Your comment literally doesn’t make sense. You don’t see any heavyweight in history that could beat him??? Wtf are u blind?
Vitali scared him into retirement. All time greats don’t run from challenges, Lewis straight up RETIRED rather than fight Vitali again.
Evander Holyfield had a draw with Lewis.
Ray Mercer had a draw with Lewis.
Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman knocked him out cold...
so let me get this straight... 2 mediocre fighters like McCall and Rahman on 2 separate occasions KO’D him...Cold.
But all time heavyweight legends and greats like Ali,Frazier,Foreman,Tyson,Joe Louis,Holmes,Klitschko, Liston etc couldn’t possibly do the same?
Gtfoh please. Lewis was a great fighter but had a glass chin and showed extreme vulnerability with mediocre fighters. To call him the greatest heavyweight, since u can’t see anyone beating him is comical.Comment

Honestly I think Lewis is a bit overrated. Knocked out twice by B level HW's. Most felt he lost to Mercer (this is prime Lewis as well) had some luck on his side beating Vitali, a good win and draw over Holyfield, but he is not this unbeatable beast that Tyson Fury is.Comment

There isn’t a fighter who is unbeatable, most with huge winning runs have been in poor eras etc.Your comment literally doesn’t make sense. You don’t see any heavyweight in history that could beat him??? Wtf are u blind?

For me Lewis is the most well rounded heavy of the lot, can box and can punch, big and athletic.
I would back him against anyone past or present.
His flaws were he was lazy at times and switched off in some rounds, as I said no one is perfect.Comment
