Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: I'm Still The Undisputed Champion

[TheMyspaceDayz]

I had a window fitter come in and look at my Photo with Ali , then a picture of Lennox to which he said 'wasn't he boring nothing like Joshua' ....! Never offered him a cuppa!
Lennox was well up there and underrated by some as was another great Holmes.

Why you luring window fitters into your lair with photos? That’s some Jeffrey Dahmer shit.

I was there the night he annihilated Razor the atmosphere was electric as was the 'fight'...Some great nights with Lennox.

I expected Ruddock to wipe the floor with him that night, that blowout was just amazing

[The D3vil]

Yeah, Lennox is a top 5 ATG heavy to me.

The American in me never liked him in his day, but now I respect the hell out of him because he keeps it real, and looking back, he always kind of did.

That's why the AJ/Hearn nuthuggers can't stand him.

mike tyson was heavily coked up, kept doing prison time and wasn't himself
holyfield was a steroid using blown up cruiserweight

overrated...and an overrated era.

Lennox was and is my favourite fighter in history, but i could still keep it legit and say he was being unfair to AJ. AJ was the one generating the money, not Wilder. But his claims of AJ only thinking of money was way off. The only one thinking about money and being a greedy coward was Wilder. All that money wasn't something he could make without AJ. AJ could make it anywhere. But yeah, i was disappointed in Lennox because he went through the same games and slander AJ is going through so i thought he'd have a few wise words for AJ and back him, But he didn't. He sided with the scum bags instead. I hope he keeps it quiet about AJ and lets that joke Wilder rot in obscurity where he belongs.

But the Lennox era comment is also way off. That was the very best and deepest era in history. All the other eras are nothing but propaganda like it always is. A lot of them didn't even have any good fighters around they were that bad. Ali's era was top heavy with guys who barely had any talent. And have weak resumes to show for it. The rest of the division was filled with bums.

Lewis has by far the greatest resume in the greatest era in Heavyweight history. No one tops him for me or comes close. He's the greatest Heavy in history. He's the most all round talent the division has ever seen. Head to head and best of 3, Lewis beats every single Heavy in history.

When Lweis was fighting I always hoped he'd get beat I never got on the Lewis train but after I aged a little I can see where he took over the division. I have to give due credit. The dude had skills among other things.

but he got massacred by bums

[Rick Taylor]

Prime Lewis would dominate this eras HWs. Loved watching his career. Beat every man he ever fought too.

if bums like rahman and mccall can ko him
then fury would ko him and wilder would probably kill him tbh.

lewis vs aj is a 50/50 fight doe

and That fight was prematurely stopped.He beat you the crap out of you.

He took a finished looking Lewis to school? The difference was on a single round at 4-2 Vitali. Lewis made the mistake of trying to box from the outside and get his jab going, but he was done. He spent over a year out at 37 because he knew he had done everything he wanted to do in the sport. Once that's set, you're not getting it back. But he thought he could come waltzing back as champ and beat anyone without even trying. It doesn't work like that. You have to really want to be there or you'll get found out.

Vitali was a whole lot more than the quitting reputation he had by the Americans. But he was dominating Byrd before an injury came about that wasn't even inflicted by Byrd. But he pulled out. He shouldn't have. He should have found a way with one arm just to get through it and beat Bryd. But hey, he made his decision. He had a point to prove when he fought Lewis and Lewis didn't expect it. But after attempting to box and failing because he didn't have it any more, he went to war and fought and grabbed that victory by the scruff of the neck and stopped him. If it wasn't for those cuts to Vitali's face and mouth, Lewis would have stopped him in the next couple of rounds as Lennox was now beating the shlt out of him while he was holding on for dear life at the end.

But they'd be no rematch. Lewis knew he couldn't do it again because he was there for the wrong reasons and got a shock. But pride got in the way, which is understandable. I'm just glad his mum had a word with him and told him to be honest with himself. Which he was. So he retired. It was the right thing to do. Pride has kept many fighters in there too long for the wrong reasons and it never works out. No matter how many times it happens to a fighter, others don't take notice and they repeat the ******ity all over again. Lennox didn't. That was the right call to make.

[Sid-Knee]

He knew what would've happen if he had rematched vitali,he chose to keep his legacy intact...smart man

Or he realised he was a finished fighter and was there for the wrong reasons?

At least Lennox got in there and beat Vitali. Can't say the same for Vitali though the way he put Chisora in front of Haye before he would be willing to fight him. When Haye wreaked him and did his post fight interview, he said Vitali wouldn't fight him. He said he'd fight a bum instead and walk away. That's exactly what happened.

Why didn't Vitali even try and beat a former Cruiserweight? Why put a roadblock in there and still duck the fight after he'd beaten the roadblock? Do to Haye what Lennox did to him? He didn't even dare.

—————-

What about Haseem Rahman and Oliver McCall? Do you think they would have dominated this era?

“Beat every man he ever fought”!! Floyd, Calzaghe, Ward, all beat every man they ever fought in the truest sense.

When you say it that way, one would think Lewis retired undefeated. He got knocked out by two journeymen.

He beat both in the rematch. So yeah, he beat every man he ever faced. It isn't too hard to understand that simple fact.

Floyd ducked for most of his career and cherry picked like a woman.

Ward lost the Kovalev fights. The first one on points even after he had to clinch and hit without the crooked ref taking any points or stopping him from doing so after Kovalev started busting him up and dropping him. Ward knew what was coming if he didn't cheat for most of the fight after getting up. He still lost though and got a robbery.

The rematch had Kovalev winning 5-2 on anyones scorecard if they know how to score a fight properly. But in the 8th, Ward rocked Kovalev, then proceeded to whack him the balls repeatedly until another crooked ref stopped the fight unfairly and let Ward get away with more cheating and corruption.

So no, neither are like Lewis in any way. It's actually offensive to even suggest that level of nonsense. Lewis was a real fighter from start to finish in a way they most certainly weren't.

And they weren't journeymen either. Rahman had good victories outside of the Lewis win. Many great fighters have lost to good world class fighters or less. McCall was decent, he didn't have any good wins going in, but he wasn't a journeyman. Same thing with Randy Turpin going into the Robinson fight. He was a decent fighter without any good wins going in. But would you say Robinson lost to a journeyman? Of course you wouldn't. That would be ******. Same thing with McCall and Lewis.

[Sid-Knee]

Yeah, Lennox is a top 5 ATG heavy to me.

The American in me never liked him in his day, but now I respect the hell out of him because he keeps it real, and looking back, he always kind of did.

That's why the AJ/Hearn nuthuggers can't stand him.

AJ 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.
