  • Lennox Lewis A Top 10 ATG Heavyweight...Really?

    Really who should Lennox replace on this list

    -Ali
    -Louis
    -Foreman
    -Holmes
    -Marciano
    -Dempsey
    -Frazier
    -Johnson
    -Jeffries
    -Tyson

    Lewis isn't as great as none of the above.

          Just...no. Lewis greater Frazier? Greater than Tyson? Hell no! Lewis is a top 15 ATG heavyweight, maybe. Top 20, definitely.

            Lennox defeated everyone he ever faced. Lennox was a huge HW...kind of like George Foreman...we know how the foreman/frazier fights ended. Too many times on this site people say things with little or no basis to say them. Take this list for example. People automatically associated names with greatness because they have heard the name so much. Shouldn't accomplishments be more important than names?

              I can have my opinion. Frazier was a great HW...but he lost/got manhandled by the first 'super' HW he faced. Lennox was in the era of the 'super' HW and was blasting everybody

                Joe Frazier in his prime would never be KO'd by the likes of Rahman or McCall, or struggle with aging Holyfield. Frazier was past his very best, by the time he fought Foreman.

                And at least when he did get knocked out for his title, it was by a ATG fighter in Foreman, not by a medicore contender.

                    Lewis did have the habit of being lazy in training when he took an opponent lightly. We all know that. He did get revenge though, in a devastating fashion. The part in bold is not factual. Holyfield gave EVERYBODY problems...and last I checked, he is still fighting so please stop with the 'aging' thing. And Lewis didn't struggle. He couldn't knock him out, but he was clearly winning both fights...that is a fact.
