Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Talks Klitschkos, Heavyweights, More

[Mr. Invincible]

Well Lennox has an 84' reach, thats the main reason he shouldt be giving Adamek advice.

LL landed 46% of his shots compared to Vitali's 36%. ANd on top of that LLs punches were harder and more effective. He beat Vitali fair and square.

You must've missed the fight if you even remotely think Lennox was winning. Vitali had him hurt a few times and was outhustling and outboxing him. The only reason Lennox landed at a high rate was because Vitali was all offensive.

[Mr. Invincible]

Vitali is the only challenger who failed to beat the champion from the previous era. Young Marciano, Young Holmes and Young Dempsey did not get thrashed up like this.

Would you rather lose a fight you were winning on a cuts TKO or get spark knocked out twice? I'll take the cuts/TKO.

[Mr. Invincible]

If Lennox's fight with Vitali lasted another round, Lewis would've been knocked out. He was done for. The cut stoppage saved his title. He knew he was beat and that's why he retired.

Very good post. Have some green.

[Mr. Invincible]

Lennox's 5 toughest fights:

1. Oliver Mccall I
2. Hasim Rahman I
3. Ray Mercer
4. Frank Bruno
5. Vitali Klitschko

Yet, Klitschko was the only one actually beating him when the fights ended.

Try again.

[Mr. Invincible]

Its one thing to claim Vitali is good as a fat unmotivated Lennox, but to say he could hang with Prime Lennox is blasphemous.

Lennox had tremendous punching power. 1 punch from LL is like 10 of Vitali's hardest rights. In the Briggs fight, Vitali loaded up on 171 power shots and couldnt floor Briggs once.

Just imagine if Lennox hit Briggs 171 times in the face? How many times over do you think he wouldve died?

Its like comparing a hammer to an Anvil.

He smartie pants, Briggs weighed like 40 lbs more when he faced Vitali then he did Lewis. Wouldn't you agree that makes a difference? Sure it does, use some common sense. He spent like 8 days in the hospital for having the heart to take those shots too if it means anything to you. Oh, and Lennox was knocked out twice in his prime. I'm pretty sure todays Vitali has more than an average chance to beat him then. Bye bye.
