    Hmm, maybe. Fitzsimmons and Ted Kid run him close, though.

          Best in terms of skills, it maybe very much debatable.

          Best interms of accomplishments and world recognition it's hands down Lewis. He defeated each and every fighter he has fought and retired while he is still on top.

            Lewis wasn't a Kirkland Laing or an early Nigel Benn. He was solid, by comparison.
            I honestly think you're a psychopath.

              Lennox Lewis by far come on now.Undisputed Heavyweight champ of the world is enough to rank him the best.Plus how dominate he was for so long no one on that list comes close in my opinion.

                lewis, no doubt. nobody even comes close.

                hatton and calzaghe are the only two of that list that are still fighting. and hatton's done far more in his last 3 fights than calzaghe has done in his entire career.

                  Dude, if you actually bother to watch a young Hamed or Hatton at his best you'd see that they were special talents, just a little above Calzaghe.

                      Mind you, Calzaghe is a special talent too.
