Lennox dominated his division for over a decade, and his style may not have been "crowd pleasing" but he was a master tactician and is sorely missed to this day.
I have him in the my top 10.
Discuss.
So did David Haye.:omfg:
Lol, Thompson a bum? Boxrec has him top 10 all-time for retired fighters at cruiser. Yeah, he was over the hill when they fought, but still nowhere near a bum. STFU with that.
I place him in the tail end of my top 10 (9 or 10). He's a prototypical heavyweight with great size and exceptional athleticism for that size. I think people underrate his chin. Yes he got knocked cold once and stopped another time, but he took the best shots from some powerful heavyweights and stayed up.
Pound for pound, Vitali couldn't hold Lennox's jockstrap!
Pound for pound? They were the same weight!
Anyway, I'd rate Lewis somewhere around 5 or 6 all time.
So did David Haye.:omfg:
At least i fess up to it, You Wlad fan boys come up with every excuse going for that loss to Purity. It was a devastating loss!
He got beat by a bum, Bottom line!
Just having fun man, I think McCall could've been a decent fighter, but the guy was straight up insane. Lennox is a step better than Wlad and obviously his chin is better, but he could be a boring fighter at times and he was getting his butt kicked against Frank Bruno when the fight was stopped. I do find it funny that no one ever says anything about his chin, I mean obviously it wasn't on the level of an Ali or a Foreman.
oh okay.
i couldn't tell.
my bad.
ha ha ha
okay time to do another poll.....
mccall is now a journeyman but the fucker is 50 now for god's sake.
in his prime mccall was a legit top 30 guy maybe higher.
probably closer to gatekeeper to the elite than journeyman.
styles makes fights my friend. i doubt rahman trained harder for ross than lewis. ross beat wlad. does that mean rahman is better than wlad? no it doesn't.

Meh, 11 rounds which he'd never been before and he falls down from exhaustion. Where was the punch?
Corrie Sanders>>>>>>>>Oliver McCall. Lamon Brewster >>>> Hasim Rahman. Enough said.
Blah blah blah, Wlad got beat by a bum.
Manny Steward trained him and describes him as a clubfighter. I think he's better than that and upgraded him to journeyman. A decent journeyman with a very good chin and some decent pop, nothing more.
Rahman is a bit better, but I do have a question. How is it Ross Puritty lasts the distance with Rahman, but Lennox goes to sleep? Does that mean Puritty is better than Lennox? ROFL.

Right here:

Wlad got KOed by a fat golfer. Enough said.

When did Ross Puritty put Wlad on his ass? One punch from a journeyman puts Lennox in sleepy land, but his jaw is IRON right?
Lennox took flush shots from Tua, Mercer, Rahman, McCall, Tyson, Holyfield, Vitali hit him over and over and only two people ever put him down and he up and ready in the McCall fight, that isn't too bad a chin.
i wouldn't call mccall and rahman journeymen.
mccall was pretty good.

Does anyone think that if Lennox did come back that he would win a HW title?
Giving time to prepare, I reckon he would take Peter and Chagaev to the clinic?
I agree he coulda done more, but it was a kinda good time to retire.
Lennox had a better chin then Wlad.
If Ross Purity can put Wlad on his ass, I shudder to think what Lennox would do to Wlad?!?!?
