Were does Lewis belong in the ATG top 10 heavys of all time

[ICB]

But would he lose to him is the question i am asking and thats what i meant what you think ice

Yes he could do if he took Young lightly.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Jimmy Yong. Now theres a fighter i know squat about.

No i don't Foreman may of had the better wins but Lewis reigned alot longer and had quality wins and what i mean by that is that Lewis beat about 10 good to goodish fighter's where as Foreman may of had better wins like Frazier twice and Norton but Lewis had more wins against top opposition if you can understand that

i did not mean you i seem to agree with most of what you say i mean your a fan of my favourite heavy Holmes

[VictorCharlie]

How much consideration do yall give to could fighter A beat fighter B when ranking? I don't rank Lewis over Foreman b/c I think they are pretty even in most categories, but I think Foreman KO's Lewis. Same reason I don't put Marciano very high. Dominated a weak div and I think most great HW's would beat him.

If somebody sad clicked you, it wasn't me. Sad clicking = gay.


And if you're not taking weak competition into consideration (which you almost have to when considering somebodies greatness), you would be hard pressed to find any heavyweight as good as Marciano being that he never lost

If Lewis fought the Young that was robbed against Ali, then Lewis would have been knocked out even worse than McCall and Rahman knocked him out. Regular Jimmy Young would have beaten Lewis, too. Not quite as bad though.


As far as rebounding from his big defeats.................



An all time great never would have lost to Oliver McCall or Hasim Rahman in the first place (Unless it was at the absolute end of their career, and getting VERY old). Let alone gotten knocked out by them.

[Mr140]

frozen a punch in the heavywieght divison can change the whole fight

[Mr140]

And to be fair i dont think that was not lewis at his best when he lost i think he took it lightly not a very good excuse but when he took it seriously he did the job with ease and as far as youndg goes i think he lose to lewis at a hunderad perecent but i could be wrong and if we are talking if i favored one i go with lewis because if he lasted the storm he put foreman away but thats just the way i fell and frozen lewis era was not weak so i dont get the marcino comment
