Was Lennox Lewis a great champion ?

[Jazzy Paul]

Firstly I believe Lewis was top 10....maybe even top 5.

Secondly, people that dispute his opposition and then go on to claim he wouldn't beat a prime Mike Tyson, are clearly delusional.

Who did Tyson beat? Was his opposition better than Lewis'?

The heavyweight division has always been weak, its just the way it is. Besides Ali, no other heavyweight really has a tremendous resume.

Anyone who votes "No" suffers from mental ******ation.

Joe Fraizer ring a bell? Joe Louis? Floyd Patterson? Evander Holyfield? A lot of Heavyweights have great resumes, Lewis included.. He fought everyone in his era (except Bowe who ducked him like you wouldn't believe) and beat them.

Let's take a look at the other champs

dempsey: 6 title defences
marciano: 6 title defences
patterson: 6 title defences
johnson: 8 title defences, 2 were draws by the way
tunney: 2
jim jeffries: 4
willard, baer, sharkey, braddock, schmeling, carnera: either 0 or 1
ezzard charles: 8
george foreman: 5
joe frazier: 9
walcott: 1

lewis on the other hand has like 15 folks. So before you say he isnt a top 10 heavyweight champ, use ur brain and think for once. The only reason joe louis is #2 is cuz he made 25 title defences, the people he fought werent exactly great fighters.

The fighters that joe louis fought suck ass, his title run is padded with bums.

Who can be rated above Lewis + give reasons

Talking bad about Joe Louis doesnt make you look very smart. Yes he may have fought some bums but he beat alot of former champs to. And it wasnt who he beat but how. Every time he had a close fight he would knock the guy out in a rematch. Joe Louis was awesome and without question an ATG.
