I dont see how people can think Lennox Lewis was ATG

[Phirsole]

Vitali's biggest win was Sam Peter, IMHO.

Coming back after 4 years of injury you'd expect ring rust. Or less speed at the age of 37.

Peter was considered a big puncher with only a single loss (UD, not KO) on his card. And many people thought he'd improved after the Wlad fight.

The fight was as one-sided as it can get. To say Peter was schooled is an understatement. Many people assumed Vitali would win. But not by that big margin.


And Wlad's the victory against Chagaev. He dominated Ruslan as his brother did with Peter. Chagaev was ranked #3 by the Ring magazine, and was the first one to outbox Valuev. Wlad was the first one to KD Ruslan. And that the fast Russian was unable to touch, let alone hurt him, speaks volume.


I doubt that Lennox would have fared BETTER against these opponents than the Klitschkos did. A prime LL would defeat them soundly, but not by a bigger margin. Would he score the early KO? Against Peter or Chagaev? Doubtful.

I watch tapes of him and he was just BIG....slow beyond beleif and packed a heavy punch with little boxing skills. It sickens me when ppl say hes ATG. Put him against anyone like Ali,Louis,Foreman,Frazier,Tyson(PRIME) he would look very very silly. He waited till the drugs and alcohol affected Mike Tyson till he would fight him its a known fact .

The only GOOD thing about Lennox i saw was his dread locks

He was very fast in his younger days. For a huge guy he could move around. Watch Bruno VS him how he moved. He was getting his ass beat but the man was very effective at winning. His chin may be accused of being weak, but to fight all of the guys he did, I think every single boxer in the world would struggle. Be it with injury or in the fight. His style was also hard to beat when he was focused.

Come on dude, prime Lennox would have knocked Peter out of the ring in six rounds.

That's funny because most people have him as a top 10 ATG and some have him in the top 5.

You do realise Lennox wanted to fight Tyson about 8 years before they even fought?

Tyson was supposed to fight Lewis in 1996 when he dropped a belt and fought Bruce Seldon instead, I believe.

This is correct my friend.

That wasn't directed to you, i was responding to Benncollinsaad.

I stopped reading after this non-sense sentence... Lennox Lewis was a superb technician in the ring, same kind of fighter than Klitschko's ...
