Was Lennox Lewis the greatest HW of ALL-TIME?

Lewis is definitely top ten HW all time for me though I can't really decide where to put him - arguments and counter arguments I have with myself have him sometimes as high as 3rd and then as low as 8th or 9th

I just wish he was around now in his prime to take out the Klitschkos. Wlad would be an easy early night for him possibly inside 3 minutes. Vitali would take a bit longer.

Lets not forget he wasn't in his prime when he stopped him inside of 6 inhis last fight - shit I just used boxrec to see when it was. 8 years ago !!!! Where does time go.....

I'm a huge Lewis fan but I don't think he's the greatest. I still think Ali holds that title at-leased the 1960s Ali. I'd put Lewis in the top 3 though, his hight and reach are part of it. But if you watch him in his second Rachman fight at 36 years old he is amazing. So much better than the Klits today, he fires more right hands in one round than Wlad does on whole fights. His jab is also far harder than any active heavyweight today.

there's a video of Lennox here, he looks in good shape, better than Foreman and Larry Holmes were at 45. God I'd love to know how good he'd be at this age.
