Lennox Lewis: Great or Goat?

[J !]

Lewis was a great fighter, just a poor human being!

oh do come on, why cos he was aloof and private, suppose you prefer cannibal rapists mate? (obviously judging by yourt avatar you dont but you understand what im getitng at, holyfiuled is a total hypocrite for example, being religious yet fatheirng several children out of wedlock by different partners yet still preach? but no one would rail against good old evander?)

normally i agree with a lot of your posts but thats ridiculous.


Lewis was just not likeable at least he didnt womanise take drugs and bite people in the ring. (ooooh sounds painful.)

Not being funny but there needs to be some perspective here. You may not like lewis but to call him a poor human being is ridiclous compared to what some have done. Even Ali.

He was pretty good, i have quite alot of his fights, along with some very early stuff.

He was into the tactical side more than getting kos.
After the Rahman rematch he said he noticed that rahman kept his left up to avoid the straight right, then says he hooked his right, rahman went down HARD.
I just admire his skills as a tactician, he aint the brightest guy i ever saw but he sure knows how to adapt to a fighters style and take advantage of mistakes.

Poor human being cos he didnt ****e up the media? In that case Tyson must be a great human being.

LL was a great boxer, he beat every single fighter hes ever faced. The quality of his opposition was better than Tyson's too and in my opinion better than holmes. He doesnt get enough credit because hes not exciting.

I`m not saying it in a bad way. I think Guys like Tyson, Judah and Corrales should be shot and hung for their wicked actions in ( and out ) the ring. My point was that Lewis will never be considered a top five heavyweight because he had no personaility and was very arrogrant towards his opponents. Not saying he`s a villian, just saying he wasn`t very human and one couldn`t relate to him. Thats why allot of fans didn`t like him!

well thats different mate!
and i respect your opinion even if i dont agree but im a big fan of lennox.

I think like holmes his stock will go up in time and he will be rated in the upper echelon eventually.

NO WAY!! Tyson is a piece of ****. Lewis was poor at showing his humn side i.e respect to opponents.
Tyson wasn`t (isn`t, but he can`t fight anymore thats way the past tense ) human at all. he was an animal, just like Zab 'Attack an old ref' Judah and Diegeo '**** and beat girlfriend' Corrales.

I dont think arrogance is such a bad thing if you can back it up. Ali said something along those lines, he was one of, if not the most arrogant boxer ever yet no one is taking a bite at him now.

Lewis not being remembered as top 5 HW is a lie. 10-20 years from now people will only remember his record, like Holmes who wasnt respected all that well during his time, people think he's way underrated now. I believe Lewis will make top 10 in most list and top 5 in some. Its not too unfathomable to think that a man who was top of his game and beat every single one of his opponent(including V.klit who I believe will be the new era of HW boxing) will not be regarded as great in the future.

Lewis was a better role model for most boxers out there, he presented himself well and was polite. You never hear news about him doing this and that. In a way, he is very simmilar to holmes, but as always its the bad boys who are remembered most. Just think Liston, Foreman, Tyson, Ali, Dempsey. Dempsey apparently ****d **********s btw incase your wondering why I put him down as bad. Ali fought for his rights but alot of the stuff he believe in was lunacy.

The great thing about Lewis was that he represented a true heavyweight with his size, strenght and weight. He used his height to win fights unlike Wladimir Klichko who leans down to face his opponent face to face. Tall men are usually more viotile to getting hit hard and we saw this from Rahman but otherwise he had a very decent chin and brought a few good years. He was also considered the undisputed champion unlike now when its uncertain who the real champion is.

I would like to point out:
G.O.A.T. is an acryonym for "Greatest of All Time". The other option was great, and the topic starter did not choose either.
