How Great Is Lennox Lewis's Resume?

[JMaster]

You're delusional. The majority of those people were washed up. Funny how you list McCall and Rahman as his great victories, yet nobody would even know who they are had they not DESTROYED Lennox Lewis in embarrassing knockout fashion.

Morbidly obese David Tua still went 12 rounds - Lennox couldn't even knock him out and I have never seen Tua look as bad, physically, as he did the night he fought Lennox Lewis.

Vitali didn't even get to finish the fight so that's bull**** - why didn't Lewis give him a rematch?

Holyfield is the only really good fighter on that list, and even then he was past his best.

McCall and Rahman might not be great victories, but they're still good. Or would you call world champions bums and thus worthless victories?

Tua is a great puncher and was ranked in the top 5, at the time. He had a record of 37-1 with 32 knockouts, with one of those knockouts coming over Rahman. And if Tua was morbidly obese, what does that make someone like say.. Brian Nielsen?

Lewis cut Vitali with a punch and, with the way the fight was going, he was gonna win, anyway. You also forgot to mention that Vitali was in his prime, while Lewis was under-trained and clearly past it.

I find it funny how you say Holyfield was so past his best, he was coming off two wins over Tyson, held two world titles and was even ranked higher than Lewis.

Please, give me a reply so that I can have another laugh and destroy your arguments again.

I was wondering when the pathetic hater would scurry into the thread

Bowe DUCKED lewis

ive said on many occasions "i am not a hater" i am telling it how i seen it, i just never got ****** into that drivel which Lewis spewed out about every top fighter avoiding him over a 12yr period.. i supplied links to back-up my theory and would be delighted if you could provide links to prove me wrong, then i would hold my hands up and say" i was wrong and British_fan was correct..

i await your links etc.

Ocasio - 36yrs old and years past his best
Mason - decent victory for Lewis
McCrory - cruiserweight who was coming of KO loss
Biggs - had been hammered by Tyson & was on the slide
Ruddock - Damaged Goods after being brutalized by Tyson
Tucker - `Junkie` and shell of former champion
Bruno - gave Lewis a lesson in jabbing`unlucky loser`
Morrison - HIV and had just been annihilated by Bent
Mercer - most thought Mercer was robbed
McCall - journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Akinwande - Class C european bum
Golota - sedated in dressing room after takin panic attack
Briggs - Class C journeyman with weak chin
Mavrovic - `WHO` weak european champion
Holyfield - yrs past his best & robbed in 2nd fight
Grant - Bum undeserving of title fight
Botha - Bum undeserving of title fight
Jackson - Bum undeserving of title fight
Butler - Bum undeserving of title fight
Fortune - Bum
Tua - Fattest man to ever fight for title
Rahman - journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Tyson - Turned up for money`decade past his best
Vitali - had Lewis in dire straits, unfortunate loser

Lewis hand-picked Class C fighters and fighters on the downside of their careers never ever fighting fighters who was at the "TOP OF THEIR GAME" -from 1991 - 2003 Lewis avoided all the top fighters in the world who was at "THE TOP OF THEIR GAME" many of them holding World Titles during that time : Foreman, Holmes, Tyson in 1996, Bowe in 93 & 95, Sanders, Wlad, Hide, Holyfield, Moorer, Ruiz, Jones jr. Byrd, Vitali rematch..

Lewis was "STRIPPED" of every version of the undisputed Heavyweight Championship for refusing to fight the No1 contenders.. not one single opponent who Lewis `hand-picked for harmlessness` was at the top of their game, they was all on the downside of their career`s....links provided.

Anyone can nitpick at a single resume. Name me any fighter and I can do the exact same thing.

But what you CANT do is show me a Heavyweight with a better list of names. Other than ALi and maybe Holyfield NO ONE can go tit for tat with that Heavyweight resume.

Not Tyson, not Joe Louis, not Frazier, not the klitschkos, not Foreman, not Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Liston or anyone else.

Yes we all know Bowe ducked lewis

Stop crying

[Shazam!]

Lennox's resume is a very good one. He fought in and was the undisputed King in a heavyweight era with probably the biggest collection of punchers....and he beat them all.

He beat Holyfield comfortably when Holyfield was undisputed champion of the world having TKO'd Tyson a couple years earlier. He then beat Holyfield again, for good measure.

It's a shame Bowe ducked him because he would have annihilated Bowe. Superior in every aspect and Bowe knew it from his head to his toe.

Destroy my arguments? What you posted above was probably the worst post in this thread, and I'm honestly not even going to reply to you.

People that really know boxing know what Lennox was all about. You can love him as much as you want, but he is what he is, like it or not.

Sonny is spot on in his assessment of Lennox Lewis, and every fact he states is backed up from multiple sources.

You won't counter my arguments because you have nothing to counter back with. I exposed your "knowledge" and set the record straight.

Nice debating with you, though. That is if you can really call that one-sided destruction a debate.

Yeah, you blew me away by boasting about McCall and Rahman being champions, an obese Tua being a big puncher, and Evander not being past it even though it's well known that he was way past it, and stating that Vitali was "going to lose anyway" because obviously you traveled back in time with Doc Brown and changed the course of the fight by stopping Vitali from getting cut and saw that he still lost.

You see, that's why I won't debate with you - because you are a moron. Everything you said above speaks volumes about your lack of knowledge pertaining to anything to do with a thread about Lennox Lewis.

So what do you consider McCall and Rahman to be? Bums?

Go ahead and try and sell the idea that Tua was not a big puncher. He has first round knockout wins over Ruiz and Moorer.

If Holyfield was so past it, then how exactly did he manage to beat Tyson twice, while picking up two titles and being ranked the #1 in the division. Please explain that.

You're telling me that Vitali was winning the last couple of rounds, before the fight was stopped? Get out of here. Lewis was landing huge shots on Vitali. He was taking complete control of the fight and would've likely knocked him out.

Aside from that, why do you refuse to acknowledge the fact that Lewis was under-trained and was getting old?

Go ahead and ask anyone who got the better of this exchange, aside from your friend Sonny. Not only did I embarrass you, but you embarrassed yourself.

By the way, here's a tip for the future: to win debates, you actually have to try and debate.
