Weaver was still good and lewis did not struggle with him either.Lewis was still a prospect and it was a good win at the time,either way it was a great knockout and proves that Lewis had the one punch knockout that you have claimed that he didnt have.

i was willing to discuss Mike Weaver but with you turning it into a Lennox Lewis thread that is fine by me as i love talking about Lewis and his opportunist career.

Billups came to survive against Lewis and thats all he did.Weaver was still a good test for a young green prospect like Lewis you idiot.Lewis knocked Weaver out with one punch!
you dont know anything aout Lewis's career other than the lies and myths you make up about him,still hurting because Lewis picked on you at school and you still cant get over it lol.

Originally posted by sonnyboyx2 View PostBillups came to survive?.... dont make me laugh, are you now claiming that Billups took a dive in his other 21 losses ?.... i suppose Ossie Ocsaio 36yrs and Jean Chanet 36yrs old was also great tests for Lewis, why dont you face-up to the fact that Lewis only ever fought tomato-cans, has-beens and old journeymen with two of those journeymen poleaxing him.. even when Lewis was given a paper-title in 92 after Bowe dumped the belt he chose to defend it against 34yr old Junkie Tony Tucker, whenever Lewis was forced to fight a fighter who was young and at the Top of their Game like the No1 contenders Chris Byrd, John Ruiz or Vitali Klitschko he ran like a dog terrified of them and was "Stripped of the Title Belts"....For your information Lewis never went to the same school as myself here in England he was schooled in Canada where he represented that country in the Olympics and still lives there.
Billups trained and prepared to last the distance with a olympic medalist and thats all he did,ocasio was a former world champ and chanet was european champ so yes they were good tests.Tony tucker was a mandatory you clown,lewis never chose him.Byrd had already been exposed by vitali and Lewis took a fight with the man who knocked ruiz out in twentys seconds.
lewis didnt move to canada until he was twelve and no he doesnt live in canada today you moron.

You come off as a kid who can't be over 17 years old and are without a doubt you are British and have a blind loyalty to Lennox Lewis.
You look at boxrec and pretend to know of the has beens Lewis beat when in reality their fight with Lewis is all you have ever seen.
Sonny has forgotten more about the sport than you have ever known, so why do you try and challenge him?
Lewis was a bum beater who never fought any top contender until they were far past prime - that is a fact and it is how history will remember him, which is why Lennox doesn't have the same aura or respect as other ATG heavyweight champions like Liston, Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Dempsey, Marciano, etc... His career is plastered with question and doubt and he will be remembered for what he was - a low B rate fighter who had made a name beating big names of the past after they were far far past it.
