Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Urges Fury To Continue, Become Undisputed Against Usyk-Joshua Winner

[Toffee]

yeah, be like Lennox. just tap undisputed for a second, then you can drop the belts and never stfu about having been undisputed like as if you weren't a ****ty undisputed.

In terms of undisputed champions' performances as undisputed champion Lennox has to rate with the lowest. You can brag resume and skillset all day long on the dude but what he did as undisputed was *********** and all. So, I think it's quite rich at this stage in his life he never shuts the **** up about it. Like it was this great big deal to him.

Which belt did he drop? He got stripped thanks to Don King.

And who are you comparing him to? In the 3+ belt era there are more fighters who never successfully defended Undisputed than did. Lennox's reign was entirely normal.

Undisputed isn't a long term thing. It happens and then the belts fragment. The orgs have no interest in an Undisputed Champion. Unifying is the hard bit.

I remember a Joe Rogan episode featuring Lennox Lewis, he ( Lewis ) claimed that steroids does not improve punch-resistance. But a comment that stuck with me the most was when Lennox said that roids will not help you against body-punches, I think this explains why Tyson refuses to get liposuction.

In the same episode Lewis also took note of Evander Holyfield's steroid taking friends and associates, which reminds me of when Ray 'Boom-Boom' Mancini also mentioned that Tyson Fury hangs around with body-builders that take PED's.

Further, Lennox Lewis took a no-tolerant stance on 'Big-Baby' Jarrell Millers abuse of multiple banned substances. However, Lewis seems to be quite forgiving towards Tyson Fury. I dont know, I just thought I help the thread-out before I go.

Seems that Lenox has completely written Wilder off as being in the fray for another world title. I believe that is a mistake if Fury actually retires.

Lewis vs Fury with both being 29 years old. Who wins ?

ah man. Beat me too it. Could you imagine prime Lewis vs prime Fury? Like a f--kin monster comic book ruck towering over a city skyline buildings falling over explosions fighter planes getting swatted out of the sky.

Lewis for me. Wouldn't get out-sized like so many do now but could have gone either way.

I'm probably a little biased though. The image of Lewis with the belt round his waist and a belt on either bicep is probably the first iconic image I saw in real time in my life-time that had me hooked. After seeing that I was convinced he was immortal.

Yes, and it was Don King who made the WBA Super.

It's amazing how getting older has changed Lewis' attitude.

While he was fighting he seemed to look down on everyone from a supposed superiority, despite losing twice to lower caliber opponents. It took him a victory over the walking corpse of Mike Tyson to be able to "cement", as he himself says, his legacy.

Now instead he seems to have become a majorette for Fury.

Maybe so, but you'll notice his tendency to insert himself into conversations about contemporary boxing (See Oscar, Floyd, Froch, Haye, Eubank sr., etc.)

With respect to his achievements, can't help thinking most of his praise for modern fighters is of disingenuous intent; borne of a desire to keep relevant

Yo, did he say how he knew that PEDs are no good for punch resistance?

You just made a crazy statement by implying that Fury's on the juice. Smh. Give the man his props

[Mr Giggles]

People acting like all fury has to do is turn up and he’ll beat Usyk or AJ. Umm these aren’t just walkover fighters ffs. I’d favour him in both fights but in both fights he can lose

Yeah...how would Lennox know...I wonder...

As you maybe aware, Fury would be free to start drugging again without having to submit to any random drug testing ; one has to remember that Tyson Fury really is rolling the dice with one ban on his record, with a second violation it looks like hes done, so temporarily quitting the sport is a wise-choice.
