is Lennox Lewis overrated on boxing forums

[sonnyboyx2]

The source materials you cite are about Lewis being stripped of one alphablet soup belt...how does this indicate that Ruiz and Byrd were superior to Grant and Golata? Once again you shoot yourself in the foot BTW because the articles also mention that Lewis was the unanimous champ...in effect making the alphabet soup detractor look very silly...

SonnyBoy I don't know what your problems are but you don't think logiclly. Yu present source material that is here nor there regarding your claim...and you always have a caveat for why a win is not a win. I guess in your mind Ruiz fought a prime Hollyfield right? and....Vitali Klitschko was defeated with no caveats by Byrd right? not to say that I agree with his quit. But Golata beat a mere shell of Bowe and because he hit the deck Grant was totally exposed which Lewis happened to notice right?

You are ridiculous

Who did Lennox Lewis beat that Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Sonny Liston would not beat?

Everyone knows "prime" Akinwande was 2000 version. Lewis ducked the rematch and was lucky Akinwande was sick in his prime. Otherwise he would have been beaten.

Coward!

The thread question: is Lennox Lewis overrated on these forums. - Yes he is vastly overrated. All this garbage you keep spewing about H2H and 3 fight this and that, is to try to cover his limitations. The bottom line is. Lewis never beat a single World Class opponent who was "at the top of his game" - i have repeatedly asked you to name for me who he beat of worth. You just keep coming up with Michael Grant & Andrew Golota

When have I mentioned H2H or top 3?

Why are you trying to cover up that you were completely exposed?

He did beat Holyfield twice.

He would give anyone a fight and also beat Holmes, Tyson and Foreman.

All those guys mentioned are great, they would all beat them, just like lewis did.. Lennox is great, all the other greats would have done the same as him.. He is great..

Only a great fighter would fight as long vs world class guys and have that amount of success..

So would I.

But that's besides the point really. Prime Foreman/Tyson are arguably the two most destructive wrecking balls in the history of the division. There's only been 4 guys EVER that showed such ferocity in the ring. Dempsey, Liston, Foreman & Tyson.

I was referring to Lennox beating Holyfield who beat those three.

Nobody....and the point is? Well...holyfield and Tyson might have had some success in that mix.

He beat a few fighters Marciano would have trouble with for sure.
