    Man, Mike Tyson himself said Joe Louis is the greatest. Tyson and Lewis would whoop a lot of fighters no dought. But just because a fighter fought 100 years ago doesent make them total crap.

          i change my vote. lewis was a great champion. he unified the titles and faced the best of his day. but im still reluctant to say he was a great fighter or one of the greatest HWs ever.

                he never fought like a champion. he fought like a boxer, never took chances, always played the safe game, and was the best of the worst era of HW boxing.

                i dislike lennox lewis, and i'll never give him the credit he deserves, but thats just me.

                  actually the 90's are generally considered the 2nd deepest era in the history of the heavyweight division.

                  and so I guess you dont consider Willy Pep an all time great either cause after all he was a slick boxer aswell
