Why He’s Here: Lennox Lewis is the most accomplished heavyweight of the second-best era in the division’s fabled history. He proved himself to be the class of the 1990s and won a total of 15 title bouts over the course of his impressive career. His wins over Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson make his inclusion in any top-five heavyweight list a no-brainer.

Best Win: Lewis bested fellow all-time great Holyfield by unanimous decision in 1999. The bout was a rematch of their highly controversial draw the prior year. The win made Lewis the unified champion and established the talented big man as the best of his era.
