Better Champion - Lennox Lewis or Anderson Silva?

Both have losses in their past, Lennox avenged his, pretty sure Anderson could do the same now, but which is the better champion at his sport ?? ? ?

Lennox...no question. And against better competition. Also, lennox would KO Anderson clean.

LOL at VectorWega claiming boxing is not a 'fight'.

I'm asking who is better at their sport, not who would win if they fought each other. Lennox would murder Anderson Silva.

Lennox is absolutely gigantic, I have stood next to him and I am 230lbs, he dwarfed me. It would take Lesnar to put him down. He has a wrestling background too from what I understand.

ABE FROMAN - Lennox is absolutely gigantic, I have stood next to him and I am 230lbs, he dwarfed me. It would take Lesnar to put him down. He has a wrestling background too from what I understand.


Does every boxer have a wrestling background?

It seems whenever a thread like this pops up someone always makes the claim that the boxer has a wrestling background.

That's just what I've heard which is why I put 'from what I understand'. It came up during his supposed altercation with Tito. I'm just saying that a dude that big is going to be tough to put down regardless....I'm not weighing in on who he can beat up or not.

Trying to take this seriously for a second....

Both were really dominant, right?

Lennox got bored, and got KO'd by Rahman (which he avenged..) and showed up out of shape, and probably would have lost against Vitali..

Anderson got bored, and danced around the ring until Cote's knee buckled.

I guess Anderson was at least trying to be entertaining...

+1

and I like Anderson. But come on now, we're talking about Lennox Freaking Lewis, a guy who beat every guy he ever faught(he revenged his losses for wins) and beat Tyson, Holyfield, and seeked out and destroyed the best. Anderson hasn't beaten a Fedor, Chuck, Tito. Sure he is in a different weight class, but if he came up to 205, he would win some and lose some. Then again, Lennox has my vote for best boxer ever.

lewis and silva dont even belong in the same sentence....period


this is like asking which would do more damage... a military tank or an uzi.

Lennox could have beaten any boxer from any era at any time.


Anderson can NOT make this claim about his place in his sport.

Anderson beat Henderson, Marquardt, Franklin x2, Leben...

No offense to Leben or Marquardt, but they can't compare to Rahmad, Tyson, Holyfield, Tua...

Maybe Leben = Botha, but I doubt it....

^^^Lewis would have to cut off an arm and leg to make 205
