Lewis fought a few fighters that were near the top of their game:
Frank Bruno
Oliver McCall (first time out)
Ray Mercer
Shannon Briggs
Michael Grant
Francois Botha
Hashim Rahman
Problem is non were particularly decent heavyweights in a hall of fame sense and two of the above knocked Lewis spark out!!!
Sadly Lewis missed peak Holyfield, peak Bowe and peak Ibeabuchi. His resume would be so much stronger for wins over these!

its truly pathetic
Lewis an excellent fighter; definitely a HOF fighter and I think he and Holyfield will be remembered as being the best Heavy's of the 1990s. He is definitely a TOP 20 Heavyweight. I think that he barely cracks the TOP 10. He definitely does not deserve to be considered as one of the ATGs.
Johnson
Dempsey
Louis
Marciano
Liston
Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Holmes
are, IMO, above him.
Now being in the TOP 20 or "barely cracking the TOP 10" does not mean that Lewis is a bum.

Oliver McCall - first fight
Vitali - fight was stopped prematurely Lennox refused rematch
Every big name on his resume was shot or far past prime.
