Lennox Lewis: Just a big guy or...

[Hitman932]

That's just absurd.
He was unmotivated for the biggest fight of his career.

a primed and prepared lewis would have TKO'ed tyson inside of 3 rounds that night. he fought unsure of himself and never attacked until he knew tyson had nothing left. he wasnt properly motivated cause he knew it would be a walk in the park. it was not the biggest fight of his career in terms of his legacy or reputation cause to me it didnt enhance either aspect. it was only big to him monetarily and would have been just as big monetarily had he lost.

True, but being a good fighter is being able to capitalize on your advantages.

He just had the sense and ability to maximize his potential by using these tools. Height, a good jab, and a huge right hand.

It also helped that he reigned in a weak era.

absolutly, i just answered the question

if lewis didnt have a 6'5" frame, theres no way in hell he wouldve gotten to where he is/was.

He didn't want to get caught with anything big.
When you're in your prime doesn't mean you fight wreckless.

That what made Lewis, Lewis, he believed in not giving his opponents oppertunities they didn't have, and it's why he was so succesful.
