Who ranks higher on your ATG list? Lennox Lewis or Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

Mayweather is top 10 all time, Lewis is not. I would say Mayweather is the best fighter since Sugar Ray Leonard. I would rank Floyd higher on my ATG list than Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, Pernell Whitaker, Julio Cesar Chavez and Bernard Hopkins.

Floyd, but I would much rather watch a Lennox Lewis fight again and again over a Floyd Mayweather one. Don't get me wrong there are a few great fights Floyd had, but we never got the same brutality that Lewis brought both on receiving and giving side of things.

but consider the weight classes ... let's pretend Mayweather was a HW - if those times Mayweather was hurt by punches had been clean shots by heavyweights, he'd probably have been KOd too

I see what your saying but my thinking is the power per pd may be more at lighter weights and you don't have the size to absorb the punch like a heavyweight. Floyd has a great chin and has never been down. We know about Lewis' chin, thank God for Manny Steward. The better boxer never gets caught with those haymakers and Floyd never did. I'm not a big Floyd fan and I am a Lewis fan having grown up in Canada and being of his generation. Just my objective opinion.

Floyd.

I don't have an exact list but Floyds maybe top 10 certainly 20, Lewis in the 50-60 region I'd say.

Whether one likes Floyd or not they have to rate him higher than the others mentioned. Period.

100%. And I never really liked Floyd that much.

Floyd


Heavyweight division is trash

Lennox Lewis.

He went after the best around and defeated them.
He never ducked a fight, never had fake retirements, did not use PEDs.

Lennox sacred other boxers away from fighting him, Floyd was scared to fight other boxers.

This poll should’ve been made public so we can identify those 24 posters that voted for Lennox. You are not a rational boxing fan with any credibility if you voted for Lennox.

How can this even be a question? Mayweather is the greatest of all time. Numbers don't lie. The best there is the best there was and the best there will ever be.

Nah, that's Bret Hitman Hart lol.

Floyd was incredibly skilful but I prefer Lennox's resume, defeats and all.

The McCall stoppage was premature imho.
