    Mate ... Please tell me ...... you are joking arent you, if not bud can you explain why ya think that or what the other three named achieved to better Lennox,

    Or is that just your opinion because ya not keen on Lennox, as we are all allowed that bud..
    Lewis was lucky to catch a Bruno past his best.

    Cooper fought Ali twice

    Hide had aweome hand speed and power and woul have beat Lewis.


    Only joking

    Form me Lewis lost twice against opponents who he shouldn't have lost to which for me will always put him further down the list than he should have been
    1. Muhammad Ali
    2. Larry Holmes
    3. Joe Frazier
    4. Joe Louis
    5. Lennox Lewis

    I think lewis got caught by a once in a lifetime shot from mccall & he hadnt aclimaitized for the rahman fight. I mean he knocked the f**k ouut rahman in rematch & made oliver mccall cry, what more could he do.

    But regardless of the ifs or why's, the two fighters at 1 & 2 on ya list both got beat by fighters they shouldnt have,

    Eg Ali vs Leon Spinx, then there was Larry Holmes VS Brother Michael Spinx both defeats they deffo should not have suffered .... what dya think bud

    This is a difficult one, Louis and Frazier were both GREAT fighters from a historical point of view , but i think Lewis would beat both of them easily , so are we judging them from a historical point of view or as if they were all in the same era ?

    Well as i said maybe Lewis loses to a few in the list , but out of 3 fights he betters them , in my opinion.

    Great point made re three fights ... Lennox was one of the best learners out there who always fought better when edgy re his opponent .. when he had a little fear ... that always brought out the best in the guy
