    So you're telling me Rahman and McCall (both 6'2" journeymen) can beat Lewis but Ali (6' 3"), Foreman (6' 4"), Liston (6' 1"), Holmes (6' 4"), Norton (6' 3") would all be to small and not enough skills for Lewis?

      Lots of great fighters lost to bums and it wasn't like they outboxed him, he was KO'd which can happen at any time at HW.

        I'd certainly say he has a very good case in any match-up.

            He's top 10, but not the best.

            There are at least a dozen champions of the past who would get to his chin.

              Based on accomplishments I have Lewis at number three of all time. He is, by far, my favorite fighter of all time.

                For once I actually agree with you, all the names would beat Lewis and beat him comfortably.You can also add the likes of Lyle, Prime Tyson and Frazier to the list imo

                  Plus he was losing to Vitali Klitschko before Vitali was forced to stop via doctor stepping in, If that carried on Vitali would have went on to beating Lennox Lewis.
                  Stylistically Lennox Lewis isn't unbeatable I also thought that Ray Mercer should hold a win over LL who in my opinion outworked/outhussled Lewis through the majority of the fight.

                  A good fighter but nope definitely wouldn't go unbeaten all the way through time, If Marciano was a bit bigger I'd definitely favour him to beat Lewis the only reason I don't is because Marciano is more of a light heavy or a cruiser at best.

                    TBH honest. Head to head once more. I would favor Vitali Klitschko against Lennox Lewis, and yes in his prime still I would favor a prime Vitali. It's just because of that cut, it ****ed everything up for Klitschko.

                      Hmm I see, good post and I'll take your word for it. I never really followed the heavyweight division myself, I always found it boring until Iron Mike came on the scene.

                      I guess you can label LL as a glass cannon, big power but no chin.
