Interested to hear any criticisms of Lennox Lewis here

[IamInuit]

Lazy at times and lacked motivation.

My only criticism of Lennox Lewis is that he waited too long and played chess more than fighting sometimes.

Ina division that is primarily guys that can punch, you need to get off first and try to land the shots, if you don't, and you try to figure the other guy out and wait for a mistake you might just get caught waiting.

That is exactly what happened, he was caught because he wasn't the aggressor, if you look at the Rahman knockout, he's on the back foot.

@brocktonblockbust Marciano and most of the HW division was different, the size, strength and power now compared to then are all massively higher, if Rahman or McCall caught Marciano with one of those punches, he's 49-1.

I don't blame him so much for the Mccall fight because Mccall landed a perfect punch, and he trained that move over and over with Manny Stewart before the Lewis fight because Manny felt it would work and open him up.

But the Rahman loss was stupid as hell. It was a matter of him getting cocky, lazy and getting his dick knocked into the dirt for it. Taking an opponent for granted, especially on the world stage is a really bad quality for a champ to have.

Other than that, Lennox was a true ring general who could hit like a mule. Lennox for sure is one of the greatest HW's in the history of the sport.

Cant add much to this.

But, i would have loved to seen lewis spank bowe in the pro ranks.

It's so easy to criticise. I wish Lennox was still boxing today if only to pull Tyson Fury's head out of his own sphincter. Self belief is one thing, but thinking you are already the bees knees before you have seen the stamen is another thing entirely.

Tyson is a complete clown. Accomplish something in the sport before you attack a guy like Lennox Lewis.

Brilliant. Lewis could probably knock out Fury tomorrow if they fought.

Lennox finally shaved his locks off!!

That means he's never coming back

Lazy at times and lacked motivation.

Agreed...Frank Bruno gave him a hell of a fight and that should have been a cakewalk for him if he was properly motivated.

There were times when he DID step up to the plate like a champ though. Golota, Grant, Botha, and the rematch vs Rahman.

Indeed. A motivated on top of his game Lewis most likely beats anyone in boxing history including the two holy grails.

Marciano got knocked down by Archie Moore in his last fight and promptly retired. Lewis came back to avenge both his losses.

[Master]

Lennox could be very cautious he bore me against Tua and he could have beaten Tyson earlier but was afraid. He even forced Tyson to face him without a warm up.

[Dia bando]

What Bruno could do was jab, very hard ramrod type Lewis would fight lazy at times, he could
be very annoying to watch at times.
Hell of a good boxer in his right mind set, his combination punches were wonderful at times pity
he used to switch off at times.!
