One of Douglas parents had just died so he would have had his problems too, or does MT have the copyright.
anyhow,
1. Lewis. greatly underated and in time will be appreciated. history
will be kind to him.Fought everyone and anyone.
2.Holyfield. great heart,boxing ability and will to win
3.Tyson. no longevity so therefore not great. Exciting yes, explosive yes
Up with the greats? puur-lease. also paid 'step aside' money.
4.Bowe. Nothing special. relinquised title rather than fight lewis. self explanitory.
5.Klitschko. anti-Lewis people always say he was beating Lewis.Less than mid-rounds stoppage and 60stitches says different
#1 Wrong Klitschko, Vitali fought Lennox

#2 Vitali WAS winning the fight when it was properly stopped

#3 Ever notice that there was no rematch, it wasn't because Vitali didn't want or earn one
No it was because Lewis realised he had almost come to the end and a rematch with Vitali could have ended in disaster.

The greatest call on retirement I have ever seen in boxing. Lennox earned my respect when he retired.
