For me second place has to be lewis he's beaten two ATG's in Evander and Tyson altough neither in their primes it cant be taken away from him plus both times he did get beat he came back and avenged. The only reason I don't rate him top is because of the way he retired after Klitschko instaed of giving him a rematch.
Call it what you want, but have you ever seen lewis look so shit other than the Klitschko fight? He went at the right time buddy. I did feel for Klitschko because he showed heart and was probably able to carry on but the cuts were bordering on permanent deformity lol.
No agreed he did look poor but didn't he take he Klitschko fight on short notice after training for someone else. I'm not 100% on this but I seem to remember something along those lines. If so that could well have been the problem. Also he looked poor against McCall and Rahman but looked good in both them rematches.
I think Lennox was hard to motivate at times and thats as much his own fault than anyone elses. It was the worst Lennox I ever saw but Vitali was there to fight and if not for the cuts he might just have knocked lennox out......who knows?

I still think Lewis retired at the right time and it was a smart choice, he was no spring chicken.
