Lennox Lewis A Top 10 ATG Heavyweight...Really?

[GJC]

The Bey fight was where boxing experts started talking about Holmes being past it and ready to be taken.

Poet

Just had a look and saw that the Williams and Bey fight were the 2 before the Spinks fights. Not really the best fights to promote both of their careers on unless we go down the road of looking at Berbicks career based on the Ali fight, Armstrong on the SRR fight, Norris Leonard etc etc.

I thought Williams won that clearly.He out jabbed Holmes pretty badly in that fight.


I can see Williams casuing someone like Tua a great deal of difficulty with his jab.Tua was never that hard to outbox.It was surviving him for the the end bell that was the problem

Will have to have another look at the fight it's been a few years. As I remember Holmes career re verdicts I think that Norton was a coin toss and you could argue either way, Witherspoon got poorly served by the judges and Holmes the same against Spinks the second time.

Holmes was hardly washed up when he was outboxed and beaten up by Williams, and when beaten twice by light-heavyweight,Michael Spinks.He was slightly past his prime,at best.


Holmes was around 30 when he hit his peak.Spent the next few years cherry picking his way around the heavyweight division and still had enough let to be mildly competitive with the heavyweights of the 90's.

its you who cannot supply the "Hard Facts" all you ever supply is figments of your own vivid imagination .

Briggs, Rahman, Akinwande, Golota & Vitali was all exposed fighters, they had suffered devastating KO defeats or had been shown to "QUIT" they are also not class A fighters and for you to claim Lewis defeated Vitali on an almost daily basis is simply not true.. so if you want to prove Lewis to be this mythical super fighter you try to imply then show us the evidence, show us that he did not get stripped of every version of the title for refusing to fight the No1 contenders, show us that he beat the best fighters in the world from 92-98, instead of making up a case for Lewis on how old he was against his limited opponents... a fighters age is deemed by the tough fights that fighter has had during his career.

your hatred of lennox lewis is distubring.he cleared out his division and best everyone he ever fought.he is an atg.

I've never liked or rated Holmes that highly.His legacy and achievments are overrated and he's not deserving of any "underrated" tag.


A heavyweight great,with as long a reign as he had, would never have ducked and avoided as many top rated heavyweights as he did.



Good fighter with an exceptional jab - that's his legacy

Who did he avoid and what is your proof?

The little troll "rates" maybe a handful of his personal favorites and writes hate pieces about all the rest

True, that does seem to be his method of operation in this forum
