Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis on Mayweather: Not Him, I'm The Best Ever!

[Ahmed_Ismail]

How many times did Lennox Lewis have any size or weight disadvantage in his career? how many times did he mess up his hands before or during his fights? How many championship fights has he won? was he 25-0 in championship fights? he fought in the 90s there were also a lot of belts back then like now, was he undefeated? didn't he get knocked out twice by B-C level fighters? Was he a champ for 17 years straight? was he rated P4P best fighter in the world for like 10 years of his career? among the top 5 best P4P fighters since he first became a champion 17 years ago?

Beat that Lennox, or anybody for that matter, Mayweather's biggest weakness is NOT boasting about these FACTS that I just mentioned!

I don't know if Lennox Lewis is number one all time great fighter over Floyd, but Lennox Lewis is a far better choice than Muhammad Ali for the greatest heavyweight boxer.

Floyd had a size advantage over his best win

Might as well take that win away

[ChestRockwell]

You're aware that he is the exact same age as Tyson and only three years younger than Evander.He fought everyone he should have from Tua to Vitali,and unlike some he new when to call it a day.Also he didn't need to fight Vitali again because he ko'd him the first time and Wlad being knocked out by journeymen is the reason that fight never materialized.

Let's just be serious, he didn't ko Vitali. It was a bad cut and was stopped when Vitali legitimately wanted to keep going. Lennox didn't and that was apparent in his face. He was lucky to get that stoppage. Vitali ate a part of Lennox's soul that night like a bowl of cold borscht, regardless of the outcome.

Rahman & McCall were were top 10 guys. in the 90s everyone fought each other to get a shot at the big 3 (Tyson, holyfield, Lennox). That is why most HWs were done in their early 30s. Only the elite stayed near the top longer. Obviously Floyd is better & i'm sure lennox was just trash talking. Today the top guys do not fight each other. they go get regional belts in one organization to climb the rankings. Lennox's voluntary defences were against solid opponents. There was no alex leapai or pianetas on that resume. He went after money not records. Twice he vacated one of his titles instead of fighting a mandatory. He dumped a belt instead of giving akinwande a rematch & the other was John ruiz. He didn't see any money in either of those fights so he vacated.

Rahman & McCall were not bums. Just as I don't think Berto is a bum. They were top 10 HWs in their primes. McCall just ran into drug problems. Everyone will remember him most for his break down in the 2nd Lewis fight but he beat some good HWs & was involved in many good scraps.

We dont need excuses for Rahman and McCall , we know what level they were at one could say the HW equivalent or even a bit less of say Berto Ortiz Guerrero , and they both knocked out Lewis that is a fact .

Somehow it doesn't add up that somebody can say they are TBE and have been badly beaten twice , makes no sense .

Floyds resume and accomplishments makes Lewis look like he did nothing .

And I dont believe in TBE anyway , its nothing more than fan BS , so forget TBE rubbish and just compare resumes Floyd did so much more than Lewis its not even debatable .

Lewis was an ATG heavyweight but lol @ this

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Both are a joke. How often did either one of them go after an opponent rather just trying to play safe all the time? Safety=Boring and neither should be in the top one hundred. Too many brave fighters who actually entertained crowds deserve it over them.

A cut over vitali eye stopped fight otherwise he was on his way to knocking Lewis out

What you wrote is an honest assessment of that fight.
