[WelshDevilRob]

The 90's were the 2nd strongest period in Heavyweight boxing after the 1970's.

Lennox Lewis is No.1 of alltime.

I would not go as far as putting him number one but i can see him ahead of george that is all that i am saying

[VictorCharlie]

So what is he the kind of guy with Louis at the top and Jack Jonhson on his top ten something like that

whats wrong with Jack in a top ten list? They guy carried fighters for rounds then ko'd them just to earn more on the film rights. I think maybe you should do some homework on the Galveston Giant. He was one of the first great tactical geniuses. Essentially Pernll Whitaker as a HW but could punch.

[Mr140]

I seen film on him i do not think he belongs in the top ten sorry its just my opinion i was just wonder how sugar made his list if he goes with older fighters then i guess Lewis won't make his top ten i was just wondering and i was not bashing him if that what you were thinking on that comment i just feel that jackson is to old school i mean he was the champion in the early 1900's and i think he could not compete with heavys of the 60's and up he was a great for his time but i doubt he be great now that all i am saying

[Mr140]

That is half the reason i have a problem thinking anyone before the 60's besides louis, Tunney, Rocky, belong on the list

[VictorCharlie]

Sorry bud Johnson is one of the few HW's from pre 1950 that could fight todays champs and win. 6'2 220 lbs, awesome defense, footwork, reflexes and good power. He'd beat more than half of most peoples top HW's to include Lewis. You can't hate on a guy b/c he fought 70+ years before you were born.

[Mr140]

Have you seen some of the guys he lost to during his carreer as well they weren't great either i thick lewis would kill him in a fight

Sorry Mr 140 but Johnson makes my list so Lewis doesn't.

you realize that Johnson had no amature career dont you? He literally learned how to fight as a pro. 7 of his 14 losses came after his 40th birthday as well. He beats Lennox...Soundly.

No way in hell would Johnson beat Lewis are you serious ?? it would be a mismatch.


As for Mr140 you have to realize that even though athletes have got better and better Johnson was still great for his time and for certain should be in the top 10 just like Jesse Owens was great for his time.

Rating the best Heavies is always difficult as unlike every other division there is no weight cap. Therefore it is hard to measure how one heavy from one era will do against another as they are not the same weight! IMO Johnson is a greater heavyweight than Lewis!!!

Ice Lewis has never been in the ring with a fighter with the kind of abilities that Johnson had. Johnson's reflexes, handspeed and defense would cause Lennox fits.

[Mr140]

Well who in gods name has johnson ever been in with that is even close to lewis name me that
