How is Lennox Lewis doing in the contemporary heavyweight section?
Lennox had tremendous around boxing ability. He had an incredibly versatile long stitch, he could throw a sled right hand with a devastating knockout, he had a good movement with a masterful ability to control the series and dictate the pace and flow of a fight, and he also had a beautiful ability to start an average upper head.
The biggest beat against Lennox is that he presumably had a bad chin, where he suffered two knockout losses in his career. The first loss was against Oliver McCall in 1994, and the others were in 2001 against Hasim Rahman. Both knockout losses were avenged, and lennox labeled Lennox as one of the few heavyweight champions in history that defeated every man he ever faced as a professional.
Lewis considered an incredible resume during generally as the second best era in the history of heavyweight. At the time, he competed a lot of the very best, including the victories of the high profile against Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Ray Mercer, Vitali Klitschko, Shannon Briggs, Andrew Golota, Razor Ruddock, Frank Bruno, Michael Grant and David Tua, among others. Lewis had a professional record of 44-2-1, with 32 wins than knockout, and even more impressive, his record in championship fights was 15-2-1, with 10 of the wins coming through Knockout.
The contemporary heavyweight king is Oleksandr Ulsyk, and the rest of the Top 5 (according to Ring Magazine) includes Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois, Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel and Anthony Joshua. How would Lennox Lewis do against the top 10 heavyweights competing today?
