Lennox Lewis= Top 3 in History

[D4thincarnation]

Big fan of Lewis, but you can't put the Tyson fight as much of a feat. He was beyond shot

You mean they younger Tyson, who vacated the WBC belt rather than fight Lewis earlier.



Lewis was so good he had them running scared.

Love him because he's Canadian and a great boxer. He's definitely one of the top Heavyweights ever. Hes big and very strong. He has a great variety of punches. His uppercut is a real weapon. Great ring IQ. A tremendous champion who lived a clean life.

It’s impossible to rate a guy that high when he was ktfo by two club fighters while in prime.

With regards to the opening post Ive read similar from boxing experts.Some even have a prime Lennox Lewis beating a prime Muhammad Ali due to the greater power he possesses?

[Richard]

Marciano absolutely demolished his era. There are no peers in Marciano's era to brag about like Lennox's because Marciano demolished every hope before they made it to the title picture, unlike Lennox who waited until Tyson and Holyfield worked things out amongst themselves, Marciano destroyed everyone's chances of becoming champion.

Marciano is so dominant of his era he's one of the few guys who can be the within a year of another man in age and have half the career and experience as that man in the ring and still be seen as having as unfair advantage over that man.

Yes Marciano had a indomitable spirit when the chips were down in the ring but Ive read his record was carefully managed. Hence didnt really fight many top fighters in his prime ?

I'm surprised that Lennox Lewis doesn't get more love when it comes to the All-time GOAT list. His resume is one of the strongest in history. No HW fighter beat every man he faced while doing it against strong competition.

-Olympic Gold Medalist
-3 time HW Champion
-Retired as the HW Champion

Beat:
Razor Rudduck
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Vitali Klitschko


Muhammad Ali is the GOAT but after that Lennox Lewis compares just as well to Joe Louis, George Foreman, Sonny Liston.

"Lennox Lewis is the greatest Heavyweight of all-time" -George Foreman

- -Lotsa blah-blah.

Lenny retired holding his last belt days before strippage, from Lion to lamb.

- -Lenny couldn't hold Mike Jock when he was prime. He fought the lesser, 3ring circus act Tyson

They sparred when they were teens and Cus even knew Lennox was the man, telling Tyson to get his act together because he would be fighting him in the pros.


Then when Tyson was world champion he gave up the belt to avoid fighting Lewis.

That is worse than taking a beating.

Tyson dumped it as well.

They were all scared of Lewis.

Hollyfieild tried to avoid Lewis as long as possible as well.
