When lennox lewis was boxing

[SBleeder]

Yes... the Tyson fight was one of his few fights I didn't watch. Tyson has always bored me.

Lewis generated little excitement and interest prior to the Tyson bout. In fact he was largely hated and ignored by the American HW boxing public in the 90s.

at first lennox lewis was a good heavyweight puncher and then gets knocked out by oliver mccall and he barley gets by an older evander holyfield and then he makes his mistake in going to las vegas instead of training for hasim rahman and gets embarrassed and finally destroys rahman in the rematch and he tries to brag about knocking out a completely shot mike tyson and gets lucky by beating vitali ..overall very good but nothing too special

He was resented cos he wasn't one of their own! If he was American he'd have been reveered! Lewis was the first to take the heavy no 1 out of the US. As it happends its gone from lewis to worse since then with a bunch of WHITE european heavys dominating!!!!

I watched him closely and looked forward to his fights. From Shannon Briggs onwards he booked his ideas up and became more aggressive. Making him more US friendly and quite exciting to watch (Barring the Tua fight lol)! Trust me tho when I say that when Lewis retired America missed him!

Lewis was a good fighter; i just wondered how many people actually liked him

I would think only elgaringo and Lewis himself.. With his go, he made up for all those who couldn't stand him..........and they are many.

A computer hiccup again, it's "ego" not "go".

Good good memories of a few Lennox fights as a kid, think probably watched Bruno, Holyfield fights, then as a teenager Tyson and Klit.

Ones I've gone back and watched inc; Tua, Morrison, Briggs, Golota, Mcall, Rahman fights.
