Beat everyone he faced. High quality of opposition.

Great boxer, great power. Feared. Intelligent. Handled himself with dignity.

This guy could be p4p GOAT.

Stellar amateur career. Won the Olympics, defeating Riddick Bowe in the finals.

Beat every man he ever faced in the pros. Defeated 7 former or future major belt holders.

32 KOs in 45 pro fights.

Not even close

For you to be such a Lennox Lewis fan. You'd think you could spell his name right.

Indeed. I admire Lennox greatly, and he's a great fighter without question. Possibly Top 5 all time at Heavyweight.

Not Top 40 all time P4P.

Ah so that’s how you work out an all time P4P list ! We may as well plonk Calzaghe in there cos he was undefeated and beat 10 future, former or current world champs, at this rate there’ll be no room for the like of Robinson, Greb, Armstrong, Wilde, Fitzsimmons, Duran, Leonard ect ect

There are guys with Double Digit wins over Hall of Famers.

There is Sam Langford who knocked out Heavyweights while weighing 150 something pounds.

There is Henry Armstrong who is the only man in the history of the sport to be a 3 weight World Champion simultaneously when there were only 8 Weight Classes and 8 World Champions in the sport total, and he still holds the record for most title defenses ever at Welterweight in spite of always being undersized as a Welterweight.
