He was one of the greatest even before the fight with Tyson, IMO. Now it's official. What does he have to do more? To destroy Holyfield and Tyson aint enought? To be the champ aint enought?

Does he have to be a thug and an american to be a great?

BTW this match showed how Lennox is a great boxer, while Tyson is (was) just maybe the greatest animal to boxe ever! There's a little difference. Both will be remembered, no doubts. Lennox is less spectacular, but he's a giant with probably the best tecnique i've ever seen for a black man of his size. The match with Holyfield and Tyson are two jewels of tecnique.

TYSON was in his best moment to fight, he trained so hard for this Lewis Tyson fight, he challenged other good fighters before this fight, YEA RIGHT!!! GIve me a break, he beat a sorry ass Tyson who is worth nothing. and old ass Holyfield who also lost to some cuban becoming the first hispanic heavyweight champ.  Very impressive to me.  And anyways heavyweight boxin is not that good.  Heavyweight boxing was only good in the Ali ERA

Hatesrats™:
My personal top 10 heavyweight's of all-time...
Going by tapes...& my personal style.

1.Joe Louis
2.Muhamed Ali/Cassius clay
3.Jack Dempsy
4.Evander Holyfield
5.Larry Holmes
6.Rocky Marciano
7.George Foreman
8.Joe Fraizer
9.Lennox Lewis
10.Mike Tyson

Yeah I would say Lewis is in the top 10 great's of all time.
But the list could and would have changed had certain fighter's not lost alot of fighting time during their career.
Both Tyson & ALi would have been higher up in the list.
I'll always place Holmes over Marciano, cause of the fighting style.
Lewis being knocked out by sub-par fighter's also kill's his higher spot.

But it's all Opinion's....so
But he makes my top ten and prob: everyone else's...

Peace

Nah

Jay ay Beee:
Here's another question:

If he was American, and not Canadian/British, would he be considered an all time great by more people?

bez:
On point there Jay, he wud be the best fighter ever if he was American.
