I think Lennox Lewis is probably the best boxer..(in terms of beating his opponent..) of all time....
I'm not saying P4P ...just..who would beat him in the ring at his prime...against any other boxer in their prime
I can't think of anyone ...
Foreman , Ali...No chance
Just seems he doesn't feature on many peoples top 10..
Why?
This is a joke right? Lennox would have had no chance against a prime George Foreman, he would have knocked him out like he did Joe Frazier imo. Lennox was a very technically flawed fighter and not the boxing master you make him out to be.
No it was Foreman who was technically flawed, he through arching bombs, that was it? Hence Ali let him punch himself out, a technical fighter would have had plan B and C. Foreman never did (in the early days)
Don't get me wrong he was a devastating fighter but as for technique???
Lewis could box on the front and back foot, he could counter and had awesome power.
Not sure how he could be technically flawed???
His chin wasn't his weakeness at all, it was his complacency. He took plenty of punishment throughout his career. If his chin was that bad he would never have been as successful as he was.
Absulutely spot on.
I don't pick Lennox over Liston, Foreman, Holmes, Thomas, Tubbs, a prime Tucker, or Tyson or Ali. I don't pick him over Bowe or a sharp early 90's Holyfield
Bowe shit himself,n dumped the belt rather then fight lewis...and bowe was heavyweight champion of the world at the time...don king paid millions to lennox so he wouldnt fight tyson...as he probably knew..it was going to be a tough one for tyson...and comparing fighters from one era to another..is a) childish b) retarded

IKe Ibubchi
anyway it is hard to say what he would do if he was i the 70s because different competiton different determination and style to fight with other people.
fighter chang there style of fighter with every fighter
Any puncher has a chance against this guy because he has a shaky chin. Any puncher in the history of the division. Even an old out of prime Ali lasted with Shavers. I cringe thinking what Shavers could do to Lennox.
probably exactly the same as tua!
lennox chin was hjis fatal weakness but he was still one of the most dominant champions at a time when there was plenty of talent
