    I've never been a Lewis fan but:-



    Lets not forget that when Lewis was awarded his WBC belt in 1992 it was because the supposed best heavyweight in the world at the time (Bowe) was scared half to death of him...

    Lewis is lucky the heavyweight division was on decline when he emerged.

    And because in the interim fight he KOed the number 2 ranked heavyweight (after Holyfield) Razor Ruddock

    In answer the poll, I think his defining moment was beating Holyfield and that is when I truly believed him to be the Undisputed Champion. Would love to have seen how Lewis would've dealt with Holyfield in November 92 though, if he could've kept him at distance a la Tua, he would've won, but with the amount of Hooks Holyfield threw from inside at that time, if he had have got inside it would've been very interesting. Remember Lewis was only 16 stone 3 (228 pounds) in November 92

    agreed...
    The 2 fights with holyfield showed the technical side of lewis.cc


    agreed....
    Lewis is lucky he came into his prime while the HWD was on the decline.cc(spek)

    i hope this dvd has some explosions and stuff to make up for the snoozefest chapter about lewis lol

    you kiddin me?
    He came on when the best guys were around, he'd be criticised even more if he fought in the 80's....
    There was no one to fight, except Tyson

    He came on when the best guys were around? yea, to bad he didnt fight them.

    To me his most impressive win was over Tommy Morrison, and a great boxing lesson he put on David Tua


    Other than that he beat,
    Michael Grant whose biggest fights before Lennox was Andrew golota (lol) and Lou savarese.

    A very overrated frank Bruno, Razor ruddick (whose only mentionable opposition was Morrison and Tyson…what do you think happened there?) Tony tucker who only fought and got ktfo’d by JOHN RUIZ.

    Barely squeaked out a win against ray mercer, and then pointed out an Aged (not to perfection) evander holyfield, and knocked out a washed up, mike Tyson.

    And to finish off such a dominant career, he was very very lucky to get a stoppage on that fight with vitali, losing 4-2, his punch count reducing as the rounds went on. And giving vitali everything he had, (nice uppercut) vitali kept coming. Oh yea, instead of giving vitali a rematch to a controversial win, he retires because he knows, he didn’t have what it takes to go at another fight with a klitchko who would have more than 11 days to prepare for that fight.

    What about Rahman and McCall you say? Yes he knocked em out… BUT they ktfo’d him with one punch, hello sweet chin music.

    One question, If he had fought tyson in his prime, along with holyfield, would we even have this discussion?
