is Lennox Lewis overrated on boxing forums

[sonnyboyx2]

There's nobody on Klit's resume that would have a reasonable chance vs Lewis. There are many guys on Lewis' resume that would or have a very good chance at beating Klit.

You are obviously deluded. Wlad has beaten a long list of undefeated fighters all of who was the official No1 contenders. Your also forgetting the name "CHRIS BYRD"... yes Chris Byrd the fighter Lennox Lewis avoided like the plague, the fighter Lennox Lewis was stripped of his title for refusing to fight, when Byrd was the official No1 contender. I would fancy a few fighters on Wlad's resume to give Lewis a decent fight. Corrie Sanders the 6ft 5ins power-punching southpaw for one.

Vitali, Holyfield, Golota, Morrison, Mercer, Tyson maybe, Ruddock.

There are a few good fighters that would give Wlad a very good run for his money.

I honestly see none of those beating Wlad.

Vitali that fought Lewis would beat any version of Wlad in my opinion. But they would give him better competition than he's been getting I think.

Wlad was beaten by Sanders in his prime. I don't think it's too out there that guys like Morrison or Golota would have beaten him. I think they are better than Sanders. A lot actually.

I was looking for it but couldn't find it. Let me check it out and laugh.

Sugar Adam Ali had some funny posts regarding Lewis. "take out his 3 best wins"

Why would you do that? haha. Good stuff, don't know how anyone could ever say Lewis has a better resume than RJJ.

Wladimir Klitschko was always thought of as the best of the two brothers, Wladimir's amateur record proves as much. Corrie Sanders fought on the undercard of Lewis vs McCall (1) in London 1994 Sanders in an interview in the official fight programme states that he wants to fight Lewis, he states that he will keep the pressure on Lewis for a fight. Sanders chased Lewis for the next 9yrs But Lewis wanted nothing to do with the 6ft 5in power-punching southpaw.

When Vitali stood in to fight Lewis at 10 days notice, Lewis boasted, "i will have one brother for breakfast, the other brother for tea"... After his very very fortunate win over Vitali, Lewis ran off into retirement with his trousers full of brown, at the thought of Big Bro Wlad.

Vlad wasn't prime against Sanders - that fight was the wake up call he needed, it changed him into eventually what we witnessed later. The only fighters that beat prime Vlad are possibly Lennox and Vitali.

No he was thought of as the more talented. Which he is. By the time Lewis fought Vitali, Wladimir had two embarrassing KO losses on his record to guys not even in the top 10. He followed that up with another KO loss to another non top 10 guy.

Haha, Sanders also said Lewis was a great inspiration to him as they had sparred. Maybe Sanders should have beaten a top 10 opponent to get a Lewis fight eh? That would be a good start. Instead, Lewis fought the guy that won over Sanders. And Sanders also got KTFO by journeymen himself, so it's not like anyone was asking for Lewis to fight Sanders. ever.

You know Wlad is lil bro right? I doubt Lewis thought Wlad would do anything to him after only months prior he was brutally knocked out by Lewis' sparring partner

But let's start to take every pre-fight quotes as gospel and ignore the fact that nobody thought Lewis would even ever fight again after Tyson. He had basically retired but only wanted to fight against Tyson again for a huge payday. Instead, Tyson bottled it so HBO pushed Lewis to fight his mandatory and when he was out the date was already out there.

You're talking as if Lewis was fighting fit and active. He had the longest break in his entire career.

Vlad wasn't prime against Sanders - that fight was the wake up call he needed, it changed him into eventually what we witnessed later. The only fighters that beat prime Vlad are possibly Lennox and Vitali.

I don't know many fighters with more than 40 fights, a lot on championship level and 30 years old that weren't in their prime.

Convenient excuse though.

"Lewis was in major fights like Prime Akinwande"

"Roy Jones fought Hopkins at middleweight when he should have fought Champions like John David Jackson"

"Jones beat the Champions at 175 but who did they beat?"

"Take Jones wins against prime ATG's away and who did he beat?"

Some real zingers in that thread.

Excuse? Vlad wasn't prime against Sanders and everybody knows it. He peaked later, is possibly still prime in a sense.
