Is Lennox Lewis the LAST GREAT HW we will see???

[J.R]

he never retired like a coward! He beat vitali in 6 rounds,fights are 12 rounds not 6 so shut the **** up you phoney,bandwagonjumping piece of ****.go suck dimitrenkos nuts since you said he was the next great thing then you **** on him when he got beat.lewis was fat,coming off a year long party after beating tyson & fought vitali on 2 weeks notice & still vitali lost.he didn't owe him nothing.it was his worse payday in 10 years & vitali offered him nothing.vitali was still shaking the quitter label.that's all vitali will be remembered for.the ***** i see was vitali ducked rahman,maskaev & decided to retire instead of fighting the best so don't give me that **** that he forced lewis to retire.lewis retired at 39.if vitali is so great why did he retire at what 33? So go put your vitali bitchko panties on & jerk off to your vitali pictures you clown.remember lewis beat everyone he fought & vitali couldn't beat an old lewis & he quit vs byrd.quitter......that's all he is & retired at 33 because he didn't want to fight any of the top guys so who is the *****? He claims injury! Suck it up you *****.danny williams didn't quit with a worse injury.he fought with 1 arm & won.that's a man not like that ***** vitalia!

love it.....

nope he never did get respect from americans and he never will which is a shame and no he is not a legend in the states. Legend's do not get hated on like Lennox Lewis. for me and im shure all europeans and non-americans Lennox Lewis is a legend and an ATG you americans obviously havent realised this. Americans NEVER cheered, respected or liked Lennox Lewis and thats because you are to xeno phobic and ultra nationalistic to ever do that to non-american fighters.

Lewis is a Brit & lived in Canada but he's blue blood through & through.he won a gold for Canada & canadians cheer for anyone who fights in Canada.bute,dianconu,pascal all fight in Canada but born elsewhere & gatti too.I have many fights Yankees are CHEERING lewis.how old are you?

I can understand if you like lewis becuase you are canadian and he lived there for a period of time. But Americans they Hate Lennox Lewis and will never respect him. canadians are cool you are a different kind. but Americans will NEVER respect Lewis or any european fighter.

Truest quote I have seen in a while.....

Lewis was 37 when he got beat up by Vitali

Vitali is 38 and is still dominating, he came back after a 4 year layoff.

dominating eh? Peter & gomez are nothing...but he retired at 33 instead of fighting prime tua,Rahman,ruiz,maskaev,older Holyfield,never rematches byrd after he QUIT...I could go on but your vitalia panties are on so tight I don't want you to blow your o ring! He retired when he could have built a legacy instead he QUIT boxing so he didn't have to fight the top guys.he had knee problems but it doesn't take 4 years to heal...he's the quitter & coward! He was scared of chris Byrd & got little brother to fight him...coward! *****! *****! I hope haye beats him because no one on this site will see you post again! I don't like haye but you bet I want him to win.he isn't anywhere near top 50 heavyweight of all time.

wow, you're a moron

Samuel Peter was the RING #2 ranked WBC heavyweight champion and was coming off a 6th round KO over Maskaev and a dominant shutout over James Toney.

Vitali destroyed Peter and made him quit in 8

Juan Carlos Gomez was one of the greatest cruiserweights of all time, he dominated the division and made 11 title defences. He dominated Vladimir Virchis and EARNED a title shot. Gomez is arguably the best pro Cuban boxer of all time.

Vitali dominated Gomez, knocked him down 3 times and KO'd him in 9


Vitali had to retire in his prime in 2005 because he had SERIOUS LEGIT INJURIES THAT REQUIRED SEVERAL MAJOR SURGERIES. If Vitali didn't get injured and had stayed healthy, he would've dominated the heavyweight division from 2005 - present.

LOL at you bringing up Tua, Maskaev, Ruiz, Rahman, Holyfield

Vitali would've easily destroyed all of them

[Southpaw Stinger]

Probably the last great heavy, for a long while at least. The way the division is going/gone it's to see a great champ dominating a great bunch of contenders.

peter best a 38yr old fat toney & toney was robbed the 1st fight & maskaev wasn't in his prime he was 38-39 & gomez got knocked out in 40seconds by YANQUI DIAZ...neither of those 2 would beat any of the guys I listed in their prime.maskaev & toney beat peter 5 years younger.peter wouldn't last a round with tua,Rahman.Holyfield kills him at 35,Byrd would slap him around.gomez beat no one.virshis is a joke(European who fought no one).gomez fought at cw when the division was a joke.it was 175-190 not 201 limit.

Co-Sign

Bowe was outclassed and destroyed TWICE by Andrew ****ing Golota

Only after he suffered brain damage after 3 wars with Holyfield! But I think bows loses to both klits.he ducked ruddock & lewis(both big men)

[The_Italian]

Just wondering...

I just dont see anyone coming up that had the skills of a Bowe, Lennox, Holmes., etc....

And yes that includes the Klits...

Lennox Lewis is the last great heavyweight. at least up until this point and his title doesnt look like it'll be threatened anytime soon.

the level of skill and competition at HW just isnt there these days.

I too think wlad and vitali (ESPECIALLY VITALI) get too much credit at times and by some are regarded too high.

My opinion is this: vitali isnt anything NOW until he finally gets in the ring again and proves it. a guy can't remain inactive for a long time and still be considered so good CURRENTLY. thats not the treatment floyd recieved (For taking the long layoff...thats why mosley is considered the worlds best WW and not floyD) so vitali shouldnt get a pass either.

With wlad i see skill...i see some talent...but more importantly i see something most of the HW's dont have...intelligence. wlad has had somewhat of an easy ride these last few years because he hasnt been challenged in my opinion.

And he's so smart because all the man does is show up...jab...jab...jab...jab...(and jab some more)....right hand...jab...jab..jab...jab...jab...right hand...jab jab jab left hook...jab jab jab and all his opponents just walk RIGHT INTO those jabs without the prescence of HEADMOVEMENT...A JAB OF THEIR OWN; etc.

is david haye and everyone on this forum the only ones who see this problem with wlad and his opponents? i dont know if they get fearful against him or what but they seem to turn into scared fighters...unwilling to punch...unwilling to move there head and do something other than keep the ear muffs on all night.

until a HW comes along and uses this headmovement...has he ability to parry the jab and return fire smart and effectively then no one will beat him.

thats pretty sad because that would mean there isnt a heavyweight who has an answer for the jab from a 6ft (someodd inch) man.

i really think wlad gives the effect tyson had when he was fighting...everyone is scared of him and it shows in the ring...the fight completely out of character compared to how his opponents look in their other fights.

note: im NOT dismissing wlad completely. in my opinion he's the best HW right now. no one else (so far) is even coming close to him in terms of skill.
