Lennox Lewis - Best Heavyweight Resume Ever

[Sledgeweather17]

If an old and fat Lewis could expose Vitali's defense and punch him so perfectly that he busted open his face, then imagine the horrible things a prime Lewis would do to him. But it would be a tough fight. I think prime Lewis would be the only heavyweight in history able to beat a prime Vitali.

Ali would be a tough fight for Lewis too and his speed and elusiveness would make him able to cause trouble for Lewis. But Lewis' advantage in size and power would make him able to win most of the rounds, taking the fight by decision.

WAIT A MINUTE! So an unfit and out of prime Leweis snipes Vitali's eye out of it's socket, yet you still think a prime Lewis would have difficulty? Not only that, but you think Vitali can beat other prime elites like Evander, Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Frazer, Jack Johnson, John Louis, etc etc even though he was stopped by an unfit and out of prime Lewis?

Lmao! I aint never heard something so hilarious.

Lewis was rocked several times in his career by far less skilled guys ,Briggs had him wobbled in rnd one . If the more aggressive then Wlad were to have fought him im pretty sure he also does better than Bruno who hurt him also.Allthat is irrelevant because we are going by when at their best .Wlad has the better jab thats all i need to know to call this a 50/50 fight.

Tyson of 1980's would dismantle any version of Lewis and score a k.o 3 out of 5 times.Lewis MAY get a win if Tyson becomes disintrested but thats unlikely .

Lewis was losing the Vitali fight before the cut . Unless you believe a cut like that happens all the time and is more likely to happen before Lewis being wobbled in round two again have at it ...it would be false!

You're a dumb ****.

Case in point. Algieri had a bad eye like that against Provodnikov but Algieri was skilled enough to make Provodnikov miss for the rest of the fight whenever he tried to target that eye.

Lewis damaged Vitali's eye and went on to effectively, aggressively, and accurately snipe that eye until it caved in on itself.

Either Vitali didn't have the skill to prevent that like Algieri did, or Lewis had the skill and expertise to snipe that eye.

The real answer though, for any reasoning person who watched the fight, is that it is both.

Now GTFOH you troll!

[Sledgeweather17]

Why do you ignore the fact that Vitali took the fight on 10 days notice?

Why do you ignore the fact that they both took the fight on ten day notice?

Dumb ass they both had different fights scheduled for the same card and both their opponents pulled out and they ended up fighting each other.

Therefore, if Vitali took the fight on ten day notice, then that is also true for Lennox Lewis.

Now gtfoh you troll and stop copy pasting everything those idiots Jim Lampey and Larry Merchant say.

Vitali would beat Foreman.
Tyson and Holyfield would beat Frazier and Norton.
So no, even Ali doesn't have a greater resume.

Sorry, but no.

An unfit lewis would have different attributes than an Ali and company could bring to fight guys like them.Vitali would be a nightmare in those eras at any point, not many fighters would pull off what Lewis did at any time.Vitali had not yet progressed to championship material for his own abilitites and Lewis was in shape but not at his normal fight weight thinking the fight would be short and he underestimated vitali .either would be a nightmare for other eras at any reasonable condition when focused which we are assuming.

Also Lewis already acknowledged the short fight notice benefited him not Vitali ! Back to the drawing board for you ,come back soon......

Sure maybe he was.. but I didn't see any decline from him.

I'm pointing out how ridiculous that statement of yours is "old and fat" no, he was perfectly capable of beating everyone the same way he did before. His engine might of been better when he was younger, but he was heavier, stronger, and smarter (more experienced) verse Vitali.

It's so hard for people to believe that some fighters like Hopkins can fight into their forties quite well.. And frankly, Lewis is one of them. If you're a Lewis fan, you do know he considered coming back several years ago?

Yeah you mean like Roy Jones is still fighting and Floyd snr said that he'd knockout Broner if they fought?

[Sledgeweather17]

You have valid arguments but the flip side to that is Lewis was planning 3 more fights one was Wlad the other Tyson in a rematch and Vitali in a rematch. He also openly admitted to making the fight on short notice to be an advantage since Vitali never been in a big fight before . I saw little decline if any in Lewis ,i did see improvements in Vitali though which is why when Tyson declined the rematch ,Vitali became a mandatory challenger and Lewis took off when Vitali became the opponent not Tyson .

Lewis said the layoff helped him prior t Vitali ,he said he had so much more experience that he didnt lose a step and was as strong as ever ,Mannys plan was to have Lewis weihh more to counter Vitalis size so i'll leave it at that.

So you think gassing in less than half of the fight is not a sign of decline?

Even the commentators said that Lewis was more his lack of fitness was more of a threat to him than Vitali's punches.

If you didn't see any signs of decline than you are bat**** crazy. In fact, this debate is not even neccessary considering we are talking about a guy who got STOPPED/TKO'd by a faded legend.

[Sledgeweather17]

Im not comparing Lewis im comparing what Wlad would be considered if he were to pull that off .Joshua has more talent than anyone Lewis ever fought .Anyone can dispute that but i dont care ...lol


Theres no one that Lewis beat that Joshua cant right now excluding Vitali .

The same Vitali who got stopped by an out of prime Lewis? Lol, smh!

He was declining from the thundering shots he took in the early rounds and inability to push Vitali back or struggling to do so as he usually has the significant size advantage.he was outsized ...so that's the main reason why you moron.... Funny how Lewis stated along with Manny he us in tremendous shape ,I guess we'll go by you? Lets also add Lewis was training for a much better opponent than Vitali was

In every round Klitschko threw more punches. In rounds 1-5 Vitali landed more power punches. Round 6 Lennox landed .

In every round Klitschko threw more punches. In rounds 1-5 Vitali landed more power punches. *Round 6 Lennox landed more power punches 10-8. *(Hardly the sudden rise in power punches that Lennox fans have been claiming). As for jabs round 3 was even at 17 jabs landed apiece.

*In the other 5 rounds Vitali landed more jabs. So...let's see, Klitschko threw more punches in every round (by far). *In rounds 1,2, 4 and 5 Vitali landed more jabs and more power punches. There is no round that shows Lennox controlling in either punch volume or apreciable punches landed. The entire idea that Lennox was suddenly getting the upper hand comes from two punches landed right before the end or round 6. *


Yet....it was Lennox literally collapsing to his stool right before the Doctor ended it. Just being real. *Lennox is the champion on a bare technicality. *He lost the fight.
