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

[Bobby Shaw]

Tyson Fury

LOL but the miracles do happen.Who knows the boy could learn the basics and improve some time in the future but at the moment naaaaaaaaaaaa

[Benncollinsaad]

I thought Dimitrenko might be the next big thing, but he obviously can't handle faster, smaller and skilled guys like Chambers. Ive never really been into giant heavyweights.

not only americans see Leenox Lewis as "nothing special" their are lots of boxing fans world-wide who do not rate Lewis as an ATG ... take away Lewis defeat of Mike Tyson (who was 10-12yrs past his best fighting days) and Lewis never accomplished very much, Lewis was deamed to have been unlucky to only get a draw in his 1st fight against Evander Holyfield, yet Lewis was very fortunate to be given the decision in their return fight, almost every sports writer at ringside had Holyfield as a clear winner, Lewis then refused to fight a 3rd and deciding fight.. As Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world Lewis brought the sport into disrepute by refusing to fight the No1 contenders, claiming they did not deserve a shot at the title, Yet Chris Byrd & John Ruiz both beat Evander Holyfield far easier than what Lennox Lewis did, Byrd beat David Tua far easier than Lennox Lewis did.. Lewis was the only champion in history to be stripped` of every version of the title.. whether you think Lewis could or could not beat those contenders, that fact is Lewis himself did not feel he could have beaten them other-wise he would have fought them... i do not and never have gone along with the line Lewis kept spewing out that "Michael Grant is the more difficult opponent" ... Lewis sat ringside with Donald Trump at the Grant vs Golota fight and seen first-hand how Golota floored and exposed Grant as nothing more than a class C fighter, yet Lewis immediately signed to fight the exposed Grant rather than John Ruiz who was on a 5yrs win streak and had been No1 contender for over 18 months... Lennox Lewis career is littered with questionable incidents that fight-fans can call into question... I am British yet no-way is Lennox Lewis an ATG in my book and that is the same thought as most fight-fans i talk to

Lennox Lewis beat the following

Tony Tucker
Frank Bruno
Tommy Morrison
Ray Mercer
Oliver Mccall
Andrew Golota
Shannon Briggs
Evander Holyfield
Michael Grant
David Tua
Hasim Rahman
Mike Tyson
Vitali Klitschko

He was a 3 time Heavyweight champion of the world, and beat everybody he ever faced(mccall and rahman in rematches). Rid**** Bowe blatantly ducked Lennox Lewis.

It is aboslutley RIDICLOUS not to call him an atg, because He Is. without a shadow of doubt. He is a top 10 heavyweight of all time, most people I have seen also think he is a top 10 heavyweight of all time except for some americans.

You are an idiot in truest sense of the word and you are either extremley biased against Lennox Lewis or you just dont know anything about boxing.

Lets take a close look at the men he beat.

Tucker --- reformed Junkie
Bruno -- gave Lewis a lesson at jabbing (unlucky loser)
Morrison --- HIV positive and on the slide
McCall --- only days out of Drug Rehab
Golota --- Tranquilized in dressing room after panic attack
Briggs --- Glass chinned Class C fighter
Holyfield -- Yrs past his best and "robbed" in 2nd fight.
Grant --- Class D ex basketball player
Tua -- Fattest man to ever fight for the title
Rahman --- Journeyman who poleaxed Lewis
Tyson -- 12yrs since Douglas defeat, 6yrs since Holyfield
Loss, only a shell of the former ATG
Vitali --- "robbed due to deliberate headbutt"

None of the above fights entitle Lennox Lewis to ATG status,
Lewis deliberately `Priced himself out` of 2 fights against Rid**** Bowe

i am far from being an `idiot` as you claim, i am a boxing fan who knows how Lennox Lewis career unfolded and not the ****** British fans who believed he was an ATG after he beat a shell of the former ATG Mike Tyson... we might as well call Danny Williams & Kevin McBride ATGs as they also beat the same version of Tyson that Lewis did

lmao at you trying to discredit all his wins, you are really pathetic.

and yes Bowe did duck Lennox Lewis that's not even debatle, he threw away his title rather than face lennox.

Lennox Lewis resume beats tyson and both the klits

Mike Tyson: a light heavy spinks, frank bruno and an old holmes that came back after a 3 year lay off is his best wins.

Vitali Klitschko: best win is samuel peter

Wlad Klitschko: sultan ibragimov, ruslan chagaev and samuel peter lmao

lol u try to hard to discredit all his wins, u can do that do anybody. you are frickin ridicilous. and extremely biased against Lennox Lewis. from now on I wont take any of your posts seriously because you are an obvious hater.

[The_Visitation]

The Klitschko Brothers are GREAT Heavyweights

Much as it pains me to say it, and as long as we forget all this 'Vitali-would-have-beat-if' Lewis crap, I have to agree.

[BEEHOP]

Well he did stop a PRIME Vitali Klitschko, and he was about 50 when he did it.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought to myself, Sonnybox will be in here talking about how rubbish Lennox Lewis was.

You're obviously a hater, which makes you fail to see he isn't a bad HW.

[Dynamite Kid]

How can anyone use the Tyson and Holyfield being past their best as a stick to beat Lenny with, when its their fault (Holyfield, Tyson) that they had to fight him when they were past their best.

Way too much criticism of Lewis on this and other forums, when i first started posting in this section i took first glance at Merseyside's thread regarding Lennox and i assumed it was just to nuthug a British hero and overrate him, no offence intended Merseyside because you are a good guy, but after listening to other people's points of view on Lenny ive come to the conclusion that he (Merseyside) had been provoked into defending Lewis's honour because so many people under value his ability.

Props to Merseyside.
