Was Lennox Lewis a great champion ?

[Sir_Jose]

no, two reasons why: he was stripped of the WBA title and he DROPPED the IBF title. i understand he did so in order to pursue larger paydays, but seeking out the big money fights isnt what great champions do. great champions defend the title against ALL COMERS, something lewis had a problem with.

im not saying lewis was a terrible champion, but saying he was a great champion is way out of line.

Thats just ****** but your a Lennox hater. So you would have rather had him fight Chris Byrd and John Ruiz than Micheal Grant and Mike Tyson?

At that time those WERE THE FIGHTS THE PUBLIC WANTED TO SEE.

lewis was a better fighter than tyson ever was

like i said, against ALL COMERS. lewis couldve taken those fights on short notice, gotten rid of both of them in a few rounds apiece and THEN went after the paydays.

dont try to flame, im not in the ****ing mood.

yea he avenged every lose against losers in the first place, and for el terrible, the only one worth mentioning on that list is holyfield and he was deathly sick when they fought and still gave him a run for his money, and to Even mention tyson is foolish, do u think mike wanted to fight or was in it for the money ? Come on gentleman, what quality off opposition did he really fight if u think about it. Think... and I respect all ur opinions no or yes. Whoa El to say he was better then tyson ever was is rediclious, If u honestly believe LL would have stood and chance with a prime tyson, i give up and cannot have a reasonable conversation with u man, ur completey delusional

[PATO 1]

[shellroc513]

[Built 2 Last]

[PATO 1]

how am i, please your biased as ****, marciano didnt have world class opposition just a world class record

im not saying he fought bums but he didnt ever have a career defining fight which made people look upto him in a different light to other fighters

prime tyson would never ever beat lennox lewis
