    I would place him in the top 10 for sure

    its very difficult to build a top 10 cos you have fighters like jack dempsay who were practically super middleweights so how would he cope against a monster of a heavyweight like lennox

    but here goes in no particular order

    muhammad ali
    joe frazier
    george foreman
    lennox lewis
    evander holyfield
    joe louis
    jack johnson
    mike tyson
    sonny liston
    ernie shavers

    i expect some ear ache for leaving rocky marciano out

    I'd leave him out too. He could well be the greatest, but we will never know because his opposition stinks. It is the worst of ay of the so called greats. Add up the win/loss records of his opponents.Like I said he 'could' be the greatest, doesn't get on my list though.

    To answer the question Lennox would be in my top 6ish

    Ali
    Holmes
    Tyson - Not in order
    Louis
    Foreman
    Lewis

    One thing I will say though. Ali, Louis, Holmes or Foreman never got Koed in their prime by the calibre of fighter sof McCall and Rahman - avenged or not

    Yo Big H

    regarding rocky marciano, i just think he was too small & no where enough skills, he may of been tough as old boots but imagine a clean shot from lennox or anyother of the listed above. couldnt imagine him gettin up many times from that. I think he is overated because he is white

    No way he could live with today's Super Heavies, his natural size was not much different to Joe Calzaghe for instance. Britkid always reckons that Marciano had a loss in his first 10 fight that was stricken from the records

    He would be a cracking Cruiserweight though, can you imagine Rocky Marciano vs Evander Holyfield at Cruiserweight ? Wow is all i can say.

    couldnt imagine many more fights batter than that one

    when we discuss top 10 heavys maybe we should class the smaller heavys from yrs back in the weights they would be today?

    I used to think the same until i watched a few of his fights, and looked up his record. Amd i was actually quite suprised how many title defenses he made and ETC.

    He obviously was a cracking Light Heavyweight, anyone who beats Archie Moore x5, Charles Burley x2, is bloody awesome. But i don't think he ever won the Light Heavyweight title BIG H.
