My vote is for Lewis , for being a tall guy he had awesome skills and could fight almost in any style.

Tyson was also pretty good , but his resume is not so good at all.

Wladimir is something like beta version of Lewis , Lewis could do everything better.

Vitali is much better than his brother , but he still lost against past prime and fat Lewis. TKO 6 is TKO6. Vitali was getting weaker while Lewis was getting stronger in that fight

i presume the last lewis was meant to be mike tyson any ways none where complete fighter lennox got ko'd twice but guys many leagues below him ,vitali was not a natural boxer big and strong but not natural ,wlad is the better of the 2 brothers and had the longest run at the top of any of the fighters but again he got chinned a couple of times ,and tyson was shot by 25 . i know the asker is looking for lennox lewis as the answer but lennox never had a great run of wins he was ko'd 2 fights before he fought tyson .

I'd say Tyson in his prime was probably the most accomplished. Great defence, speed, combination punching, and footwork.

same here ,i find lewis overrated and tyson under ..

Re. your 4th selection, did you mean Joe Louis?

If it's Joe, then he is the answer. Of the rest, including Tyson, it's Lennox by a mile.

Lewis

Probably Lewis. Lewis was KO'd a couple of times, but unlike the Klits he seemed happy to mix it up -- which brings risks -- rather than bore everyone to death.
The problem with Tyson was that he was asked questions in the ring he had no answer for. There's also no win over an all time HW who wasn't a hasbeen. It's no coincidence that Tyson's 'prime' lasted only as long as he was fighting mediocre HW's.
You can make a good argument that Tyson sits behind Lewis, Holyfield and Bowe on the ATG list.

Btw, surely this should be in BH?

Where's Tyson in the poll?

Lewis is the easy pick, even if Tyson was in the poll.

Lennox Lewis
