When did Lennox Lewis win the world Title?

still hard to even consider briggs was linear considering foreman won there fight handily. I remember only giving briggs 3 rounds

Yeah, I'm with you on that. No way in Hell he won that fight.

The establishment just wanted big George out of the picture, I think. His novelty had run it's course. He beat the man (Moorer) and won the title; but then wouldn't fight anybody of note.

I think Briggs was given that decision because 1. He had connections and was being pushed towards being a "star", even though he had monumental shortcomings.....and 2. George, while still loved, was the past.

The decision given to Briggs was certain elements of the establishment making a statement towards the "future" of boxing, IMO.

I gotta watch it again, but didn't Briggs even say he lost the fight in the post fight interview?

Why are judges not punished for bad decisions more often? That's the only way I see stuff like that changing.

Do you feel he beat Holyfield?

Lennox dominated the first fight and clearly one..

Rematch was much closer and could have gone either way.. Wasn't a robbery

Lewis won both fights imo.

The second one was just closer. Lewis still won.

Agreed.

It still baffles me how that first fight could have been ruled a draw; but I will give Holy credit for showing up for the second fight, even though I still had Lewis winning.....it was a lot closer.
