I think Lennox is one of those boxers that people generally don't view in a moderate way. People either love him, or hate him. You get the two extremes, where people think he was exceptional, or they think he was horribly overrated. It's one of those oddities of professional sports.
I think GasPed pretty much summed up that fight. Lewis was definitely a good heavyweight. I don't know where he fits in the all-time list, but he's definitely better than Golota. I am a Lennox Lewis fan, but he's not my favourite fighter. I still like watching his rematch with Rahman. I wanna see his match with Bowe again. I seem to remember it being pretty one-sided.
When, in the amateurs? Bowe was not the same fighter then. Even Evander said before they both turned pro, he had had his way with Bowe numerous times. As pros however, things didn't happen so easily for Holy...

Yah, the gold medal fight in 88. I don't doubt that both fighters were quite a bit different then. But I haven't seen it since then, and I think it would be interesting to see.
lewis is classy, intelligent, and strong. he's adaptable and adjusts well to fighters of different styles. his only weakness is maybe carelessness every now and then. it's a shame he's not hyped up so much simply because he is not american.

All non American fighters suffer from not being hyped up? hmm ever here of Arturo Gatti (Canada) Felix Trinidad (Peurto Rico) Julio Caesar Chavez (Mexico) Eric Morales (Mexico) Manny Pacquiao ( Phillipines) Kostantine Tzyu (Russia,Australia) Vitali Klisthko (Ukarine) Wladimir Klisthko (Ukaraine) Roberto Duran (Panama) Alexis Arguello (Nicaragua) Prince Naseem Hamed (United Kingdom ?)Miguel Cotto(Peurto Rico)
Thats a bull**** statement. That only American fighters are hyped up.
Wrong. It has nothing to do with him being British. Any lack of popularity is due to his arrogant personality and for playing it safe against smaller opponents like Holyfield and Mavrovic. Lewis was notorious for putting on boring shows against shorter fighters who couldn't reach him. Even in the Tyson fight he could have knocked Mike out much earlier than he did but he didn't want to take chances.
The guy was good at winning fights but not fans. He wasn't the first fighter to match that description and he won't be the last.
i think it's pretty safe to say that lennox lewis was not a risk taker by nature, most of his fights were calulated, he always belived in the saying ''don't give the other guy chances he dosn't have''. and that's why he was so succesful. some people want to see world war 3 at every fight, but that was never lewis's way
Katzman (the physician in question) injection) in can result in drowsiness.
:
That bastard Katzman hit the vein on purpose there is doubt in my mind, and taking a muscle relaxer or pain reliever straight into the vein causes alot more than drowsiness dumbass.
