Writing him off because of that though? Especially if you take into account the rest of his career. Nope. Under Steward he was a scary proposition.
I am not writing Lewis off. He had a great career and is an ATG.
I’m just calling out the whitewashing of his KO losses and the misleading claim that “he beat everyone he ever fought” while ignoring the context that two of those guys destroyed him.
Also, to the guy discrediting Floyd and Ward, can you imagine if Floyd was KO’d by Maidana or if Ward was KO’d by Kovalev and still won the rematches, these guys would never defend them the way they are defending Lewis.

He is arrogant, ignorant and deluded. Whilst I respect his record, I don't like him as a person and found him extremely boring to watch (he used to cuddle up and lean on people until they were tired before throwing any punches). It was effective, but extremely tedious.Last edited by Angeljuice; 11-24-2020, 02:25 PM.

Lewis is great but his time as undisputed was sad, as ****. For him to put worth and value to it now is a bit rich.
Evander is the last undisputed champion who wasn't a ****ty undisputed champion. Evander defended, Lennox never did. It's a bit like Fury being high on lineal. That's cool bro, but, compared to like everyone else who ever held that title your reign is a bit ****.
Lewis is great, not downing his skills, not claiming he was a **** champion in that he was a bad or weak boxer, just a **** champion in that he ran away from his duties as champion as soon as he was awarded the status.
Like a king who abdicates immediately but continues being a baller ass politician. Cool bud, but, as a king, ya ******.

Originally posted by Sid-Knee View PostAJ fans were pissed because he unfairly classed AJ as the problem when it came to money. AJ was the one generating that money and was entitled to it. Wilder however was the greedy coward who deluded himself into thinking he was worth half the money when he couldn't even sell out a 14,000 seater arena and generate much. That's why he was only paid 2.1 Mill for the Ortiz fight.
It was bullshlt. Anybody who disagrees, is as deluded as Wilder himself. And Lennox is my favourite fighter in history before you call me biased or some other nonsense.
Like Canelo and Mayweather before him.
AJ is the cash cow in boxing.
Fights happen when they want them to happen.
They lowballed Wilder because they didn't want to fight him until Fury had already made him look vulnerable, just like Canelo wanted no parts of GGG until Jacobs & Brook made him look vulnerable.
Joshua admitted he was turning down $50 million to fight Wilder in America because he wanted to fight in the UK

it was one of the first things i picked up on when i was new online, those old yahoo chatrooms, the boxing ones..
id go on there and type
"lennox lewis is the best hw"
they'd go mental on there.
they always rested on the 'prime mike tyson' argument too.
It didn't go unnoticed to see lennox lewis back audley harrison and david price, but legit HATE on David Haye.

https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/boxing/...lts_69708.html
this was him backing audley harrison
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...on-567148.html
he's a very underhanded type of guy, very sly with his words, knows how to take little digs at people and totally blag it.
he knews audley harrison and david price were ****e, but he would exaggerate his praise for them to make himself look like the good guy.
Yet how was he on David Haye, Tyson Fury and AJ? the real guys
here read this
https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/boxing/...wis_91550.html
it's the exact same formula where he's conveniently lent support to Wilder whilst trashing AJ every single opportunity he's had.
total bs from you to claim he's 'hated' by 'matchroom/eh casuals' without even giving any attention to the relevant contexts.
what annoyed me was the way lennox was VERY vocal on the 50m thing even though we could clearly see it was a fake offer. for example, you have finkle telling dan rafael that there's NO rematch if aj loses. Then you have frank warren and finkle telling the british media 'it was a 2 fight guaranteed deal'.
BUT
that on it's own was one thing
when wilder turned down the $100m dazn offer..that was the moment for lennox to admit he was wrong and diss wilder in the same manner.
when asked "what did you think of Wilder turning down the offer?"
his answer began with
"IT'S LIKE I ALREADY SAID, i would have taken the offer"
he hadn't said anything prior to the question, nowhere, not on twitter, not in any interview. he chose these words very conveniently to detract any shock value from an direct condemnation of wilder...
but fkin hell..if that was AJ?
he would never stfu about it, he'd still be tweeting about it.
really does show himself up as an envious guy.
the only other guy in boxing similar to that, is Floyd mayweather. he sets traps for guys who are viewed as his successors.
notice a lot of people dont actually like floyd, not even his own protege tank davis.

Was a great fighter and would run through these lot, but this man is a clown nowadays, I know he never wanted Joshua or Fury to be undisputed because that would break his record, as those two have a chance to do it fast than him, especially with Joshua. His hate towards Joshua was there for all to see apart from those idiotic PBC cultists, who used this clown as their go to person when talking about their king ducking Joshua back then.
