    Top 10 ALL Time HWY. The only thing that let him down (2X) was that glass china chin. Otherwise, at his peak, the man was a master.

      You could easily argue about him being the best heavyweight of all time.

      Rid**** Bowe ducked that fight for a reason just like other fighters ducked fights for a reason.

        Lennox Lewis is actually one of the main reasons why Evander Holyfield is so great.

          As Vitali said, Lennox is the strongest HW of all time (ie the greatest). His resume is very strong, although he retired kind of early and should have fought both Klitschko brothers again. But the prime H2H Lennox, only Vitali and possibly Vlad matches him.

            there was nothing wrong with his chin. he got caught twice walking in. when u walk into a punch youre going to go strong chin or not in the heavyweight division. his chin was at least descent

              Lennox proved many times he had a strong chin.

              Going down twice when fighting the guys he fought thoughout his career is a testament to that.

                I have Lennox in my top5 ATG.

                The only man I would favour over him is a prime Ali.
                Others that might give him troubles are Foreman, Wlad, maybe prime Tyson and obviously Vitali...

                  yea,,you don't get through guys like Ruddock,,briggs,,,tua,morrison,,,lionel butler,,,Bruno,,gary mason etc if your chin is china. lewis got by a lot of big punchers. the only slight negative was lewis didn't seem to recuperate well when he was hurt badly. he was nailed huge tho in those two instances

                      this right here...

                      overrated as being the best heavyweight of all time..

                      he definitely is arguably top 5 but being the best is a testament how he was being overrated by his fans..
