For being such a great fighter Lennox Lewis had some really lazy/careless moments in the ring and for a lesser fighter they would have certainly been disasterous.
Agreed...I will be the first to admit...as big a fan as I am/was of Lewis he had the tendency to be full of himself and like you said in the Briggs/Vitali fights those moments could have been a disaster......Those losses would have totally changed his place in the HW divisions all time rankings
