Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis on being an introvert, the Usyk-Fury rematch, the death of his mother, and life after boxing

[jvsnypes]

Lewis in my opinion is top 5 heavyweight of all time! Possibly the greatest! There’s only 3 heavyweights in their prime that I can envision giving him major problems. I think Ali before his exile beats any heavyweight that ever lived. But, Lewis’s height, reach, and skill set would have made it very interesting. A young Mike Tyson trained by Kevin Rooney would have definitely been more competitive. And lastly, Larry Holmes, who was an all around great fighter. But Lennox is underrated, and there’s a great chance he would have beaten anyone in heavyweight history!

Lewis was a great great fighter who fought everyone in his era. He doesn't get the same mention sometimes because he led a clean life meaning he didn't have 10 kids, get arrested for assault, excessive drinking and other stuff. He was also a quiet guy too. When he got in the ring though he was great at beating up people and that's what matters the most.

yeah he didnt fit the stereotypes

i remember people used to think he was gay until he finally married and had kids later in life. they thought he was gay because he didnt do all the normal dumb **** pro athletes do
