Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Awesome vid; Lennonx is by far my favorite all time Heavy, well Ali also; love em' both. Damn, Foreman too. My fav. 3 ;D

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Lennox truly was a BAD AZZ M'OFO...
That 3 punch combo that finished Botha was devestating.....
You see how much more polished Lennox got as the fights went later into his career...From the wild KO swings in the Bruno fight to the pin point KO punch hhe developed his right into
People dog him because he was KO'd twice with 1 shot but He had a much better chin then he got credit for...I seen him take some solid shoths from big guys and not even stumble...
CC for the vid..I have a Regge version on my myspace page

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
He was more polished as he continued further into his career; that's why I like him so much. Kind of reminded me of a combo of the young/old Foreman. And he did have a great chin; he just took 2 massive shots from Rahman and Mental McCall that would have put anyone down, it happens.
-
Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
When he got cocky he was beatable, but when he was mentally ready and trained hard, he could have beaten anyone.
-
Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
By far my favorate heavyweight. At the top of his game... he was awesome.

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Tell you one thing...and I wrote an article about it here once....We now appreciate how good he really was....A division is defined by it's champion....The better the champion the more legit the title he holds is....EG...(As much as I hate to admit this but)...Calzaghe made the SMW division what it is...for years it was dead as his name grew so did the division...the more wins he put under him the more the division garnered attention.....
Lennox though at times the rest of the division was weak was dominate as all hell...There was not question in anyones mind that he was a LEGIT champion...there was not...In any other era Lennox would not be champion....

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Well..Much like nobody cares to admit..
Lennox is the testament to say that once you retire and once you are gone from the game and missed,
That is when your legacy starts to sink in..
Nobody felt this way about lennox when he first retired..bUT now that he is gone its plain to see how good he was and the level and number of competition he faced..
And it will be the same with the likes of the mayweathers, oscars, shane moselys, hopkins' when they have gone
-
Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Great thread !!!
My favourite Lewis career moments were
the holding and hitting Bruno
The Rahman win after being written off
The crowning nights vs Evander and Tyson
-
Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Nice vid...I still get fired up over what I thought were BS decisions against Mercer and Evander II, but the first knock down against Ruddock was priceless

1000% Agreed.......Many of those guys I forgot about Lennox beating......But you are right he had a great career and fought a high level of comp.....and he did DOMINATE as much as some hate to admit it...

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
he was great
his offense was great with the right and the right uppercut with a good jab
also have good gameplans
him vs. tua didn't live to hype but he he kinda made it look easy
also kinda see tall fighters tryna imitate his style
my favorite fighter of all time

I don't think they were BS decisions....And even if you do think the second HF fight was BS consider it redemption for the first fight where Lewis was clearly screwed....Don't take my word for it...Just listen to the crowd reaction if you can get a copy of the decision

Listen here asshole..its called an opinion...I agree 100% that Evander lost the first one, and I felt he got robbed in the rematch why the flame?..What difference does it make that the first was a bad decision? I guess here two wrongs make a right eh. Its a forum...pretty sure the purpose of a forum is to discuss differing points of view..But I guess your completely uncapable of hearing differing opinions. If you want to just hear someone mindlessly agree with you maybe you and Daxx can get together and jerk each other off. I don't think I was overly disrespectful in that post so learn a little bit of social skills...
And you Daxx...Your always putting off this "I'm a journalist and more educated and objective than anyone else" The fact is on more than one occasion I've seen you be a complete dikhead to posters on this forum simply for having a differing opinion...So much for unbiased journalism...Get off your high horse you self righteous arrogant prick. bye the way in case your wondering here is a SC so you know who came from .
Good Vid..LL was a great fighter I just think he got two gift decisions...try to post with a little dignity and respect guys

2nd Holyfield fight wasn't a robbery even if Holyfield did win he won by no more than 1 round as for Mercer fight i scored that a draw but every great fighter gets close decisions for example Muhammad Ali i think he should have 7 losses on his record.

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
Getting a bit heavy here isn't it! Lewis was clearly the best HW of 90's early 00's. It's a shame there was no fight with Bowe and therefore i put Lewis ahead of him in any list
At least Holyfield fought him twice! Both fights were bad decisions but what can you do, judges make mistakes all the time, Lewis was screwd in the first fight and I thought Holyfield won the second fight.
Amazingly i didn't have Lewis winning a round until the 9th! So what do i know? Overall he had a great career that should have a W on it in a fight with Riddick Bowe.

Re: Lennox Lewis Career Highlights
That was pretty out of order Vannchilds tbf
Daxx didnt actually say anything to you he just disagreed with you and you went off on one based on your opinions of him outside of this thread or from past occurances which in all fiarness have no relevence to this topic

You were obviously sharking for an arguement so don't be suprised when someone takes you up on it.
You have your opinion fair enough- I say your wrong thats my perogative.
As I've posted on many boards your style doesn't come as a suprise. You obviously dislike the success that Lennox had so your opening post on a career highlights thread is negative. Please try and post in a balanced way in the future - I'm sure you have a lot to offer.

WelshRob is the homie. He might get a little fired up, but he knows his boxing. His opinion should be highly regarded.
