The POS and reputedly reformed thug is up there, but not the best.

Ray's better than them. And you left off Mike Singletary.

Totally disagree, better than Taylor? Come on.

London Fletcher has been in the league as long as Lewis and had just as good a career and still is a stud. Just doesn't run his mouth as much.

Almost as long.

You must be twelve years old. Only Singletary came even remotely near the nastiness that were Butkus, Nitschke, and to a lesser extent, Lambert and Nobis.

They would have bent Lewis´s gun chamber around like a Looney Tunes cartoon, and he´d have shot himself.

If we're going by "nastiness" as the standard, I'm taking Ray Lewis. He killed a guy. He wins the Nasty Cup.

And you must by 13 if you don't remember the excellence of Mike Singletary.

London Fletcher. Really? In 12 more career games, he has 4.5 less sacks, 8 less INT's, and 1 less forced fumble. And 250 less tackles. I like Fletcher. He's an excellent player, but you have to be insane to think he's the equal of Ray Lewis. There's nothing in the statistical or visual record that could lead you that conclusion other than a sincere desire to troll.

It's almost impossible to compare Ray to LT because the NFL didn't track tackles back then, but LT has a metric shite-ton more sacks. But that's also because all he did was pass rush. He's the best pass rusher ever, but that's pretty much all he did. Lewis is a MLB and usually is dropped into coverage or plugging holes on the run game.

If we're talking about a guy who ran around like a Looney Toons character, that was Taylor. Lewis has always been positionally responsible. He's far more like Singletary, who I think is his closest historical comp. The two are the best two MLB's ever. I'm not too bothered by what order you want to put them in.

He was in the league for 10 years and died in 2000

NE, I meant Denver.

As for Derrick Thomas, he´s the deceased KC Chief. My bad.
