Al Bernstein: "Lennox Lewis Is The Greatest Heavyweight Of All Time"

[IronDanHamza]

Go through the thread, they've already been mentioned and videos have been put up. Please.

All I see is George Foreman.

You said a lot of people said Lewis was the greatest ever after Holyfield and Tyson.

Name them, it's a simple ask, to a statment that you made.

Yeah smelling salts can re-energize a man. The time he got after Angelo Dundee ripped his glove is questionable too. Every second counts when you're on ***** street.

At the most 6 seconds were added.

Go to 5:30.

(actually there was no extra seconds in between the rounds) just reviewed it.......the ref yells "seconds out" and they both come to the ring at the 21 second mark. the glove crap happened within the 21 second mark..........(go back and review it yourself)

keep up the trolling

I'm not trolling. I don't need to go back and review it. I'm well aware of what happened. You seem to be the one who keeps changing the story. First it was 6 seconds, then 4 seconds, now it was no seconds?

Who's trolling?

The bottom line is that Ali is a greater fighter than Lennox Lewis because of his ability and his resume. It's not because Lewis got KO'd and he didn't. Lewis never got beat by a guy with 7 fights. That doesn't make him better. ****** initial comment.

People tend to forget that where Ali went down from Cooper's helacious hook and got up at the count of 3, and Frazier's bomb in round 15, and got up at 3, Lennox got up wobbily against McCall, who probably finishes Lennox, and couldn't get up before the count of 10 without help in the 1st Rahman fight.

No way. Maybe in the bottom half of the top ten, but no way can anyone say he's better than Ali or Holmes in their primes. That's not even an argument to be made. Then if you factor in all the great old timers—Joe Louis, Dempsey, Marciano even...so many great HW champs that were unbeaten in their prime. Lewis got knocked out twice DURING his prime against Oliver McCall a total bum and Hasim Rahman, who would probably have a losing record in Ali's era. Even in the case of Wlad Klitschko you can make the case that Wlad got KO'd before he partnered with Steward and before he had solved the flaws in his game that made him a more complete fighter. With Lewis he got KO'd by a journeyman at the height of his career, that automatically disqualifies him as the greatest ever I don't care what anyone has to say about conditioning or not coming to the fight in shape.

how did you reply to this post? i deleted this post within seconds? (wtf) (and left the thread)

i deleted my post to you because i just figured you were trolling & not worth my time anymore............i counted 4 official seconds.........(had to download the video and slow it down)

not even worth mentioning..........

lewis was ko'd...........multiple times. MEANING lewis never even made it back to his corner. (his legs were gone against mccall & was sleep against rahman) that plays a part in overall greatness..........not to mention that ali's body of work is one of the greatest.


we're comparing ali to lewis so we must go over all aspects. and chin is one aspect that lewis severely fails at (when compared to ali)

everything that has been mentioned makes it a complete joke to put lewis over ali............(a joke)

During his prime, Lewis would have beaten anyone. Great thread and good ole Al telling it like it is without the racism clouding his mind. Sad that we can't say the same for a lot of butt hurt racists and haters on this site.

This is what grates me. No he wouldn't & he didn't!

@IronDanHamza

Shut the **** up Jabroni. You are a blatant Lewis hater..Nobody said he was Goat. But most pundits do have him in the top 10 All Time Heavyweight. That's not an outrageous claim. H2H he is top 1-3... man you are one pathetic worm.

Normally if I see haters like you on the streets I would just punch them in the face.. but I know if I hit you.. you'll die. So I'll just spit on you if I ever see your hater ass.

@dan_cov
I honestly smell another hater. Lewis's Prime was from 95-00. He was unbeatable during that stretch. Watch the Lewis who fought Morrison, than watch the Lewis who fought Vitali. Watch the Lewis who fought Golota/Briggs/Tua and than watch the Lewis who fought Tyson. It's night and day.

People just have to deal with the fact that the Titan Brit is just too powerful for the inferior fighters of other eras.

Rahman I was a fluke, Lewis was fat and in all honestly probably high. Mccall was a robbery, Lewis could have fought on.


Look at how dominant Vitali was... a old 260 pound whale Lewis gave Vitali Hell and stopped him in 6 rounds. Before people talk about lucky cuts.

Wake the **** up you morons. Vitali was cut in the exact same place as Morrison,Tyson,Mason, and Bruno. Lewis is p4p one of the greatest cutters in boxing history. If you got weak cuttable skin, you are dead against Lewis.
