Im in agreement with Ice,Holmes would snipe him to death with that jab,Lewis has this little hitch when he's stalking where he drops his hands and resets them before he throws. Holmes would drill the jab every time he did that. The only way I could see Lewis winning that fight is if Holmes got cocky and pressed him.
Holmes could be the Greatest Heavy of all time, but we don't know because he never had to fight a Lewis, a Holyfield, a Tyson (prime) or an Ali (Prime). I would love to have seen Holmes and Tyson in their primes at the same time, really can't call that one
Lennox Lewis is the most overrated HW in history.
In Britain he is only the 4th best ever
1. Frank Bruno
2. Henry Cooper
3. Herbie Hide
4. Lennox

A lot of boxing promoters couldn't match the cheeks of their buttocks. Mickey Duff..
He did fight alot of great HW's, not good ones, great ones, and he just destroyed them.
We dont look at that era as a great one for HW's for one simple reason, most of those guys barely made Holmes sweat,his hardest fight in his prime was actually probably Cobb, for no other reason then this, Cobb wouldnt go the hell down and stay there. Nobody knew,or knows to this day what in the hell was keeping him upright. Cosell quit announcing boxing over that fight.
Larry didnt have the Ali ability to just make you look foolish, or that Tyson 1 punch and its over,he was somewhere in the middle

Rocky marciano isn't a heavyweight anymore. if marciano was 6'5" and 255 lbs he would ko lewis faster than rahman did. Lennox lewis had a distinct size and weight advantage in most of his fights. Rocky marciano had a distinct height and weight disadvantage in most of his fights. Big difference.
I'm saying you can't compare marciano to lewis.
No ya cant .. but on that basis alone just man to man as they wouldve been in there prime, for me Lennox leaves Rocky for dead,
So does that make the modern day heavyweight generally greater because of evolution & development down the years .. interesting point me thinx??
