Lennox Lewis- the best fighter of all time?

[Kigali]

The best HW since Ali & Joe Louis...

He never got off the canvas to win...once he was down that was it.

This little guy has rabies.

Ex MW Chris Byrd made that heartless robot quit on his stool.

Yeah, you still want to fight when his shoulder was about to get ripped of from his body?

The best HW since Ali & Joe Louis...

.....is Larry Holmes.

Lennox Lewis is my favorite boxer of all time. A true gentleman and ambassador of the sport.

THis ^^^^

Poor guy was neither considered one of their own in Britain/Canada & not until he retired was he given credit for his accomplishments...

.....is Larry Holmes.

In your opinion may be.. but not mine..

Lewis had better resume than Holmes..

He also avenged both of those losses.

Lewis didn't dominate. He had skills for sure but most of his advantages is because of his size. He was picking on smaller men, and the only time he fought someone bigger than him was Vitali and was giving him hell.

I wouldn't call 6'4 240 pound guys very small guys or even 6'3 230 pounders to 6'5 240 or so .....Vitali was the first big SKILLED guy who out sized Lewis which gave him trouble and when you are used to having the overall size taken from you it will effect the difficulty when not used to it . Lewis dominated the 90's era which is what you judge him overall on ...Vitali has no standing on that and even with a Vitali loss would mean little since hes also a top 3 guy H2H .

oh... Look where the cat dragged its feet today...

Mr.Ross Purrity, Lewis he was the man to beat of his era..

No need to be bitter, this is HW discussion you can go back to the GGG thread's if you wish to troll...

You cannot reason with him through logic.. You should troll a troll.. According to him Wilder is the next best HW..

Stop it.

He was throwing with both hands....he must have hurt his shoulder in the corner.

Ali didn't let a broken jaw stop him..and he had a LOT more to deal with than Chris Byrd.

You love that shoulder injury excuse don't you...I wonder why?
