Lennox Lewis - How good was he?

He beat everybody he fought point blank period. He can mythologically match up head to head with every other heavyweight and still have a chance to win... All of them!!! He won a gold medal, defeated a Klitschko, beat Holyfield, Hashim Rahman, and Mike Tyson. He also beat Bowe in the amateurs. Lennox Lewis, LL, the emperor, the lion, the pugilist specialist...nuff said!

You are all crazy: Lewis was completely dominated in the VK fight, losing 4 rounds to 2. He lost on a cut. Had they had a rematch, Lewis would have lost. Lewis knew that too! Even his trainer Lewis wanted him to have the rematch. Lewis the Chicken Liver!

No that was legit. I always show respect to those who don't come at me maliciously first. I envy that type of life. Thank you, it's funny after being a pro and boxing am all my life .. I tried my hardest to keep my son from boxing cause I don't think he needs to, but the kid went in anyways haha

This is the same guy who smokes Alis pole as being an ATG heavyweight even though you'd be lucky If half of Alis fights were actually even contested at heavyweight division :lol1: Some of the criticism the K's and certain other modern boxers have to put up with today is beyond ridiculous. This is the media age, every move K2 makes is picked a part with a fine tooth comb and the harshest possible ramifications are applied anywhere possible.. Yet when even lightly applying such cursory examinations over a fighter like Ali's or LEnnox's career leads to an immediate smoke screen LOL funny that!

Yeah VK ducked Byrd, ducked Rahman, ducked Chisora, ducked Charr, ducked Stiverne... You'd like to buy into that rubbish wouldn't you... You do realise that VK had other commitments as well right? You realise he is a leader in his country during a period of civil war and proxy invasion? I think we can excuse Mr. Klitschko for not granting Charr a rematch no?

Vitali's 2-3 cuts were 1 million times worse than Charr's face. Where's the rematch though? Vitali ducking Charr. Charr put Vitali into retirement. Charr is still undefeated. Vitali couldn't stand the heat, so had his shady doctor call off the fight. Charr was poisoned for Povetkin, so that loss doesn't count either.

Lennox would no doubt beat Bowe. Bowe isn't good at fighting guys who are just as big as him and can hit as hard as him or even harder. He psychologically shuts down and this is why I think Lewis would beat Bowe with ease. Lewis was without a doubt a top 10 all-time heavyweight in terms of that he could go in the ring with almost any heavyweight in history and have a good chance at beating them. That's right, Bowe seems to have ducked hard punchers. The first time he fought a good fighter+hard puncher (Golota) he got spanked!

Let them have their little minute in the sun, they're letting nationalism rule their head, its nothing but blatant utter bias. If you dissect Lewis resume further you realize its not that good and that just because a lot of his fights were more entertaining/competitive it doesn't make him the better fighter... A better fighter would be shutting guys out, Lewis fought big names but when did he fight them? Tyson - Near end of the road Morrison - He drew with Ross Purrity prior to fighting LL, I thought RS won that fight. Holyfield - Wasn't totally past his prime years but he wasn't what he use to be Rahman - Lost to Maskaev who people on here mock but legit win for LL? Frank Bruno - He never was truly that good and once again SLOPPY seconds, Mike Tyson dominate him yet here LL is feasting off Mikes left-overs? Oliver McCall - Basically a journey man just like Rahman who both were capable of putting LL to sleep There is a lot of BS on his record If we're going to judge it the way you judge the two most dominant heavyweights ever. When we judge it with Vitali and Lennox we look at - Who was greater stylistically? Who shut out his opponents better? Who finished their career on a greater note? Who is more relevant to the sport of boxing right now? All those questions can easily be answered with Vitali Klitschko. Yes, I find him hard to go past.. But they will cook up the old chest nut "VK didn't fight hardly any champions" Again, that's because those 2nd and 3rd tier champs Lewis fought were only "champs" because the top dogs LOST frequently back then. The Klitschko's are being penalised for NOT losing. The logic is ridiculous. If I hear one more nutbag carp on about ATG's man I'm gonna be hanging from a tree! LOL

"look at the state of his face though, I was clearly getting to him..." "Look at his face" "Listen he would of got knocked out *puff* *puff* *weeze* yeah I was getting to him and he would of steamed *more heavy breathing* look at state o face" Vitali's 2-3 cuts were 1 million times worse than Charr's face. Where's the rematch though? Vitali ducking Charr. Charr put Vitali into retirement.

Great for his division but not that great. Tier 3 type of HW.

A controversial win against Manuel Charr. :lol1: "look at the state of his face though, I was clearly getting to him..." "Look at his face" "Listen he would of got knocked out *puff* *puff* *weeze* yeah I was getting to him and he would of steamed *more heavy breathing* look at state o face"

Johnson - Excellent counterpuncher, slick, 260lbs, excellent record Sanders - tall, aggressive southpaw, lightening fast, power punching Williams - 270lbs, KOd Tyson! Peter - HW champ, solid record, very powerful, solid chin Gomez - Great record, skilled opponent Arreola - Tough, durable tall powerful fighter with good record and speed Johnson - Hulking boxer, decent record (comparable to Bruno!) Sosnowski - Good strong fighter Briggs - Former champ, hulking, veteran Solis - High skills, heavy good record Adamek - Mulitple CW champ, good chin and counterpunch skills and good record Chisora - Much better than record shows Charr - strong opponent with good record. Yeah Bruno couldn't hold a candle to any of these guys could he.. Bruno would be no more prominent on VK's record than Kingpin Johnson! Fact!

Sanders should have had a knockdown scored against Vitali. Vitali was DOWN in round 1 :lol1: I seen it the other day, he was wobbled in that round but that crash was nothing but a slip. VK NEVER been down in any pro boxing match in an era of superheavyweight punchers. Fact!

Sanders should have had a knockdown scored against Vitali. Vitali was DOWN in round 1 :lol1:

I feel embarrassed for certain posters after reading this thread. Both of them are great boxers and bashed up menacing opponents. That's fair to say, the truth right!
