IMO, Lewis doesn't strike me as one of the greatest of all time. IMO he's never fought anything but depleated past they're prime heavyweights, he's never impressed me with his fortitude or boxing skills. He is smart, and is going out, on top. Not too many athletes now-a-days do that. I'll give credit where credit is due, he's retiring a good champion, not great, and surely not one of the greatest. He's nothing but a self-centered egotistical ass, who IMO, is going of boxing chicken-shit style by avoiding Klitschko.
Jones and Toney, like you said, don't have time on they're side, and reports are that Jones will fight Tarver again in the middle of this year. With Lennox gone, and Tyson way out in left field, I'd look for this to be the last of Jones. Toney, well, I don't think he's good enough to match up to any of the "super" heavywheights.
I look for good things from Klitchscko. He will fight Corey Sanders now for Lewis' vacated belt. The other brother, well, if he ever feels like fighting again, he's even better then Vitali.
Mesi and Dominick Guinn are the two big up and comers right now. Personally I focus my attention to the middle weights now, with Miguel Cotto and Jermaine Taylor 2 of the most impressive young fighters in a long, long time.
