  • Lennox Lewis had a Good Resume !!!

    Lennox Lewis has a very good resume:


    Gary Mason:

    Lennox Lewis beat the Undefeated Gary Mason in Round 7 via TKO, Mason has only 1 Loss in his career which was to Lewis, His current Record is 37-1 (34 Knockouts). (He Knocked out Tyrell Biggs & James Pritchard)


    Glen McCrory:

    Lennox Lewis Knocked Out the Former IBF Cruiserweight Champion/
    Commonwealth Champion in Round 2 of the Scheduled 12 Rounds.


    Tyrell Biggs:

    Lewis Knocked out the Olympics Gold Medalist 3 times in Round 3 which was forced to an automatic stoppage. (Tyson done it in Round 7)

    Donovan Ruddock:

    It took only 2 Rounds for Lennox Lewis to Win the Commonwealth
    Title and Eliminator to the WBC Heavyweight Title, He floored Ruddock in Round 1 and then Twice in Round 2. (Lewis became WBC Champ after this fight Because Bowe refused to fight him.)

    Tony Tucker:

    TNT Had a very good chin, but it was exposed to Lewis, when he knocked him out in the 3rd and 9th round, however TNT got up on his feet and showed his heart, his courage, and Lewis won a Decision and made his first defence of the WBC Title.

    Frank Bruno:

    This was one of my favourite fights, Lewis beat Bruno down with a 7th Round TKO, Bruno who was warned for Holding and hitting, could'nt do anything after the 6th Round, he was tired and having rough night.

    Tommy Morrison:

    The former WBO Champion Morrison who beat Foreman and Ruddock, (Out of Primes) was fighting for the IBC Title, and Lennox gave him (What I would call a) one sided ass whooping until referee
    Mills Lane stopped the bout 1:22 seconds of the 6th Round.

    Ray Mercer:

    Mercer was known for his Chin, No one could Knockout a Prime Mercer, the former WBO Heavyweight Champ, Probably not even a Prime Tyson, Lennox Lewis won a Majority decision against a Prime Mercer Which was deserving but not satisfying, (Some people say Controversial) but Lewis still had a win at the end of the day in his resume, and i had him 1 round ahead, it was a confusion like Hopkins/Taylor with half believing Lewis won and half believing Mercer, I would call it as a draw, but in the books Lennox won.

    Oliver McCall:

    After his Shocking Loss to McCall, Lewis showed Heart, He wanted a rematch and revenge! to Prove he is capable of beating any fighter of his era and he did prove it after Knocking out the hard chin Oliver McCall in the 5th Round.

    Henry Akinwande:

    I was'nt Impressed by this fight because Lewis was winning but Henry kept holding and hitting and he was warned many times, he was a undefeated fighter at that time he lost via Disqualification but Lewis was ahead in the fight as judges scored it 40-35 at the time of the Disqualification. (Reminds me of Tyson biting Holyfields ear after he knew he was losing)

    Andrew Golota:

    At this time Golota was a fierce fighter, after Brain damaging
    Rid**** Bowe, beating the living hell out of him twice and he took a fight with Lennox Lewis, which he lost by a 1st Round Knockout, The fight finished early as Golota was unable to beat the count.

    Shannon Briggs:

    Highrated Contender Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs lost to Lewis via
    a 5th round TKO, because he was knocked out 3 times in the 5th, which forced it to be an Automatic stoppage, Shannon Improved after he fought Lewis, and is currently a Contender, after having 10 victories straight all of them by knockouts.

    Evander Holyfield 1 & 2:

    The first fight was a controversial decision, because Lewis had won the fight but the judges scored it as a draw, Holyfield was doing better in the opening rounds, but he gassed out, he tried to Knock Lewis out but he could'nt, and later on lewis took the rounds and won a close fight but it was called a draw, However in the second fight Lennox Lewis won a Unanimous Decision over Holyfield.

    Michael Grant:

    This guy was Undefeated, and the media started giving him a lot of attention after he beat legit contenders and everyone started
    talking about how good he is, until Lewis Knocked him out 2 times
    in the Opening round and once in the Second round and he couldnt
    beat the count, he got exposed against Lewis.

    Francois Botha:

    Highrated South African Contender, lost to Lennox Lewis in the Second Round of the fight. (He also had 2 controversial draws with Briggs and Etienne)

    David Tua:

    Has never been knocked down in his career, This Samoa Boxer has a
    damn hard chin, and knocked out some of the best Contenders/ Ex
    Champions. (Rahman, Ruiz & Maskaev)..But lost to Lewis by a
    Decision (119-109,118-110,117-111), Lewis gave Tua his best shots
    but Tua can take the best shots from anyone and still put up a good fight.

    Hasim Rahman:

    After the big Upset by Hasim Rahman, Rahman gave Lewis a rematch, and Lewis had to Prove this time his Lucky Punch wont work, and he was Lucky that it worked last time, Lewis Knocked Rahman Out in the 4th Round (1 Round Earlier than Rahman)

    Mike Tyson:

    This was the Match everyone was waiting for and it happened, Tyson was a feared fighter,but Lennox Lewis was a brave fighter, He Knocked Mike Tyson out in the 8th Round of the fight, To gain Respect of many fans.

    Vitali Klitschko:

    This was Lennox's last fight, He stopped Vitali Klitschko with an
    Uppercut, that caused Klitschko a deep cut and the ringside
    physician stopped the fight, which Lewis won by TKO in the 6th.


    I think overall he has a very good resume and destroyed the good
    fighters of his era, Only 2 Losses and he gained revenge on both
    of them and won both.

    Lewis has a Record of 41-2 (32 Knockouts) and is Rated the Best
    British Heavyweight on the Record Books and Websites.

        Man, he had a great resume! Fought just about everyone of note except maybe Bowe and Foreman, and those guys didn't want anything to do with him.

                you could look at it that the best fighters he fought Ruddock, holy and tyson he caught at the right time but then again he still has to beat them!!!
                anybody can big up or tear down a fighters record its all a matter of opinion.
                i never liked lewis but he was a good fighter, however i do think he was a bit chinny and loved seeing him get ko'd by two fighters who shouldnt of had the chance to land the shots they did but they did and i smile everytime i watch it.
                he used his advantages well and tbh the only fight i really think he displayed heart was vs mercer, so coming from a fan of boxing but a huge dislike of lewis i have to give him a certain amount of respect for what he achieved.
                id put him around patterson, norton level imo 15 - 20 all time
