Many praise the effect of a fighter who, despite massive deficiencies boxes knows his history. That is to say after his retirement, where you place in the history of Lennox Heavyweight? Below is my take on 12 other "Greatest heavyweights like Lewis and compares them;
James J Jefferies; It is quite difficult to compare fighters who fought within 10 years of other, much less in this case, 100 years, but here. Jefferies was difficult, he had a rock solid chin and trucks would be the first-sailed Scope for retirement, except for the sick and well back against Johnson. Jefferies was a national hero, master of the division 10 years, serious and opposition as some Corbett (twice), and Jackson Sharkey.
His dominance was taller than Lewis, because he is ashamed to avoid Walking in KO defeats. But it has the Color Line, for some opponents, but I think it was because of social pressure instead of Jefferies.
Held: Jefferies was greater.
Jack Johnson, Johnson took a best of the majority of the fighting took place with cream "competitors" by the end of the century. Then, finally succeeded with a struggle Burns, and won the Heavyweight Championship. Jefferies and a strange victories with Ketchel, height of its dominance, but it should be noted, 7 years of his reign was, as well its past.
Finally, loss of Jess Willard in 1915 at age 37 but between 1905 and 1915 Johnson was the first heavy weight on the planet. The overall quality of the opposition and the domination of more marginalized Johnson on Lewis ...
Jack Dempsey, brilliant and promote management by Kearns and Rickard, Dempsey was the sporting symbol of the year 1920, to hit "Babe" Ruth, in second place. The story was in its fight with Carpentier (the first $ 1 million after calculating gross), the struggle with Firpo, was the most beautiful moment in sport for the first half of the 20 century. And its destruction refrigeration was Willard.
Trial; Dempsey's status icons, give him the margin.
Joe Louis, 26 titles defense, an empire that, for nearly 12 years, and despite the famous "marauders of the Month" campaign, fought the best and the Light Heavies Heavies had to offer. In addition, was the first fighter (Johnson), not to use the "Color Line".
Judgment Louis was larger
Rocky Marciano, 49 and 0; figures! Of course, it must, 56-4-1, but it is another story. Marciano was three and six months and some offer if some decent, that the opposition old Charles Moore and Walcott. And, of course, and Charles Moore was the best at 175. Before he won the title of Louis pounded also retired, despite Louis' age is still an excellent result, remember that "The Rock" the wager was oppressed.
It was more than Lewis? Now, I will answer yes. In addition, he was an icon of the 50s, one God and to this day among Italian Americans. And still the best of his career when the lorry, a piece of art, all heavyweights in the world.
Sonny Liston, the victory of Williams, Foley and Patterson. D'Amato private show its capacity in its prime. Forever in memory by the principal for the Ali / Clay Bouts; fighting, which fought if Liston was 5 / 6 years past his best. In addition, the first man on the list, which is physically compete with Lewis.
Who was stronger? Lewis, Lennox dominated the division for longer, and also had a premium much longer, the fight against all fight, registered in the period of his reign, unlike Liston.
Muhammad Ali, dominated by the mid-60s, chosen skills ever seen in an accent, remains unbeaten during this period. Came back in the 70s and has proved to be the greatest emphasis in the biggest heavyweights period. I do not think I should go on ... ....
Trial, Ali was larger
Joe Frazier, the first man to beat Ali, despite his physical limitations, Frazier was "Man" for six years. Was not quite on the absolute highest-size trucks, as later lost to Ali and the two Blow Outs against Foreman has shown, but still an excellent fighter.
He was taller than Lewis? No, Lewis was competing with all the fighters he met on, depending on the length of domination was the equivalent of Frazier, but overall, he met better in opposition than domination ( Holyfield, Tyson). The best and fought all the candidates, unlike Frazier, who took a long two years off in post-Ali-71
George Foreman, Frazier and Norton destroyed in the golden era of the 70s, a time when perhaps it was only Ali. Came back in the 90s, heavy goods vehicles to the age of 45 titles
Now Lennox, unless, as 10 years back in time and ... .... Foreman was greater.
