The rest of his wins are all pretty damn decent, not spectacular but then again, the 90s was a loaded division but the talent was pretty sub par below Tyson/Holy/Lewis so what else could he do?
In terms of h2h, Lewis is probably stronger, more physical and probably hits harder and has a better jab. It's like two clones going against each other and one is better, Lewis wins a decision.
In terms of overall skill set, Lewis is better in that regards too.

Yes Lennox has some omissions on his resume, Bowe didn't want to fight him and King paid Lewis step aside money not to fight Tyson. I know you'll probably claim he skipped out on Holmes but the guy was in his 40s by then.

I hate myself for even rating Wlad in the top 15, it kills me to be objective in this case. Wlad isn't a boxer anymore, hasn't been for years. Take away his fear-driven (illegal)clinch tactics and I would bet he'd have so many TKO losses that his career wouldn't have even survived the 00s.

1/. Lewis 2 wins over Holyfield?... first bout a draw (Lewis robbed IMO) second fight Lewis win (Holyfield robbed)
2/. Bowe didn't want to fight him?.. Lewis turned down opportunities to fight Bowe in 93 & 95
3/. King paid Lewis step-a-side-money?... Did King hold a revolver to Lewis head saying, "Accept or **** ****"?
4/. Lewis has a better jab?... which fights of Lewis can i watch to see his better jab?

Anyone can come onto a forum and claim, this that and the other like you do. But you must have evidence to back up what you claim, otherwise it is drivel which is not believable. You are a real Walter Mitty character who spins them on a daily basis. without your lies and exaggerated comments, you would be lost for words.
