P4P who was greater; Lenox Lewis or Joe Calzaghe?

[Benny Leonard]

Lennox, of course. Hard to gauge with heavyweights but with wins over a prime Ruddock, Golota, Holyfield, Tua, Mercer, Briggs...the list goes on. No brainer.

Ruddock and Briggs already went through Tyson. Since Ruddock already said Tyson took his prime away from him, I'm going with his words that it wasn't the same Ruddock.

Golota: Yeah, I really liked that win and it was surprising at the time how Lewis just destroyed him.

Holyfield: Past prime...but not Lewis's fault since Holyfield and Bowe were beating the **** out of each other.

Tua: I would say past prime because he was fat and slow compared to when he fought Ibeabuchi. Not Lewis's fault but...

Mercer: Good Win (although close fight).

Lennox tested himself, that's why he get's more recoginition. He was down to fight ANY and EVERY body. The best the world had to offer.

Calzaghe? Not so much. He's a really great fighter. But he spent too much time hiding in the UK.

thats a fair point in the defence of Lewis. I just think if you had Lewis and Calzaghe, the same size and weight Calzaghe would win!! Calzaghes skill, speed and insane heart would carry him thro
