Lennix,Nigel,Frank , or someone else?

From the outside looking in my choice is Lennix Lewis.He's hated for a variety of reasons(lazy,Rahman defeat) but he retired with the title.

The answer to this question has got to be Lennox, right? is there even a debate over this?

On da face off it den Lennox Lewis undoubtly has be da man (did sum1 say gay blkssh)..Seriously he came back 2 Britain & kicked up a storm, but b'ca he wasn't Frank (UncleTom) Bruno he wasn't liked..

My personal favorite has 2 be Nigel "DarkDestroyer" Benn, rash/brash/excite'n EastLondon bwoy Britain's Mike Tyson..Even though he lost in epic fights v Chris "Da Nostril" Eubanks & Michael Watson he still gave fight fans sumting which they wanted 2 c..He took no prisoners & won more dan 1 world title clp)..His funniest fight Was against Iran Barkley, where Benn admitted dat Barkley scared him..Rd.1 Benn rush from his corner & a flurry of punches & down goes Barkley, Barkley looks stunned & Benn repeats da feat twice more & da contest is stopped in da 1st rd, a stunned dazed Barkley is lead back 2 his corner without as much as throw'n a punch..

Nigel Benn, he is good, but he doesn't have the charisma nor the brain, he his a knuckle head thats why chris whooped his ass twice (Don't get me wrong I like watching his fights).

Greatest boxer of all time to me, has to be none the less "IRON MIKE" himself, he redifne knockouts.

You have to wonder how good Tyson would have been if he had kept his head on straight. would him being more normal have hurt or helped his career?

But Iron Mike aint Brittish!!!

TOMMY FARR.........The Tonypandy Terror..Louis
'My face looked like a dug up road', were the words Tommy Farr was to use when describing how he looked after taking the legendary Joe Louis the full distance of 15 rounds in their heavyweight title clash. To this day Welshmen still talk of the great fight Tommy put up against the Brown Bomber, and will forever remember.itish & Empire Champion
During a string of 18 fights without defeat Tommy Farr beat ex-World Light Heavyweight Champion Tommy Loughran and Bob Olin, another former light heavyweight champion. Even with his growing reputation Tommy was not expected to defeat Ben Foord in a challenge for the British & Empire titles in March 1937. The fight wasn't a classic but Farr's crouching style and consistent scoring with the left hand secured the titles. After a somewhat mixed beginning to his career Tommy was now British & Empire Heavyweight Champion and ready to mix it with the best the world had to offer.up to World class
The next opponent for Farr was Max Baer the great former World Heavyweight Champion. Understandably, Tommy was the underdog; Max Baer was going to beat him and beat him easily - or so Max thought. Tommy turned the odds upside down with a great display of boxing, while for the most part Max Baer played to the crowd. Mistakenly, Max thought that he could finish Tommy Farr whenever he so chose. When the time came that Max thought he would now put an end to the Welshman's challenge he found himself in a real fight. By now Tommy had established a commanding points lead and was not about to give it up. Max moved in for the kill; Tommy jabbed him - Max threw big right hands; Tommy jabbed him - Max tried to box; Tommy jabbed him. Tommy was fighting a great fight dancing, crouching, bobbing and weaving, jabbing and when Max did manage to get in some good punches Tommy fought back An absolutely tremendous performance saw Tommy Farr take the points verdict in his best win yet. With another superlative performance Walter Neusel was dispatched in only 3 rounds leading up to the epic battle with the great Joe Louis.ght= #000000]Louis taken full distance
Making his first defence of the World Heavyweight title, which he had taken from James J. Braddock, the Brown Bomber was expected to deal with Tommy Farr more than comfortably. Louis himself saw the fight as nothing more than a warm up for stronger opponents who would undoubtedly challenge him. No-one outside of Wales gave Tommy the slightest chance of winning. America was looking forward to a convincing and early finish to the fight. Tommy Farr had not read the script ! Before a crowd of 32,000 in New York, Tommy Farr gave the Brown Bomber the fight - and fright - of his life. Back in Wales it is said that almost every house in the land was listening to the fight on the radio that night. At the bell battle commenced with Tommy unexpectedly taking the fight to the champion. Louis was strong, powerful and a fearsome puncher, surely these were not the tactics for Tommy to adopt ? While respecting the champion Tommy bore forward continuously and for 15 rounds war was waged between the two great men. The fight was close with Louis cutting Tommy up badly in an enthralling battle. At the end Louis was declared the winner and still Heavyweight Champion of the World. Tommy Farr had lost but had won the respect of the world and earned a place in boxing history. He was still only 23 years old but had been involved in more than 200 fights, including boxing booth bouts, when he faced Louis.............he may not have been the greatest but anyone who could go 15 Rounds with the Great Joe Louis must have had something going for him....
