Lennox Lewis legacy?

I think he was top ten not top 5 tho, however he probably was a top 5 talent in the HW division. He had a good combination of size and skill with a tremendous jab. If he had fought Bowe and beat Tyson in his prime and won that gold metal at the usual age 18 or so instead of coming back at 22 to do it against younger fighters. Then I think his legacy would be a little more complete,and the last thing that hurt him somewhat was his dull personality. That's not his fault but it's just the way things go unfairly or not.

Lennox Lewis was a very good boxer and a good champion. I often did not like the way he fought or boxed, but he knew what he had to do to win. On the other hand he never beat a great fighter in his prime, Tyson, Holyfield, even Tua was not at his best.

They wern't as bad as journeymen be fair. great fighters dont get KOd by one punch from journeymen.

They wern't as bad as journeymen be fair. They were mediocre at best. Lennox was probably top 10, not top 5. I think that is very fair

They wern't as bad as journeymen be fair.

He will be remembered as a top 7-12 heavyweight. No way in hell does he crack the top 5. Getting KTFO twice by a couple of journeymen puts an end to that argument.

lewis was one of the best, but i wouldnt even put him anywhere near the top ten greatest.

Oh yeah and by the way you have a picture in your avatar of the biggest piece of crap boxer ever...............talk about media buildup

he was an oscar de la hoya type of boxer built by the media, sports commentators, liked by many. he got dropped a couple of times and even lost by ko to some junkie. whats so great about that. if he was the real champ that wouldnt of happen he also fought a way past his prime frank bruno and hugged his way on the tyson fight. yeah real champ. Yeah he really was huggin tyson wasnt he...........seriously what were you watching? Theres more to boxing then just slugging.

My favorite HW of all-time personally and I have him in the top 10 all-time HW ranking.I think 3 is a little high but everyone has a right to their opinion......either way Lennox was great. :boxing:
