Frank Bruno really outclassed Lennox Lewis - Lewis not in Top 10

[Ron Swanson]

I also agree that Lewis was not the same fighter when he didn't have significant advantages in height and reach.

Vitali - 6'7'' - stopped in round 6.

Michael Grant - 6'7'' 86" reach - KO'd in 2

Shannon Briggs - 6'5'' - KO'd in 5

Akinwande - 6'7'' 86" reach - dominated and DQed for holding like a f**

Tony Tucker - 6'5" - dropped twice, loses UD


The only guys to beat him were only 6'2''!

Lennox didn't give a fuck and would smash anyone regardless of size because he truly was the best around and nothing was gonna ever bring him down.

Looks great in black and white. Completely different if you acknowledge how the fights went down. But I will always love LL because nobody understood how good he was until he was gone so I made a killing on him. Suckers actually thought shot ass Tyson could beat him hahaha

The only thing that "went down" was Lennox's opponents!

Frank Bruno

"Honestly. I think Lennox could have taken me out anytime he wanted to. He
gave me too much space during the first 5-Rounds. I think his corner gave him the
incorrect 'Fight Plan' and told him to 'go slow' in our Championship Bout."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Exactly. As I was watching the bout, I was saying to myself, what the 'Fuck' is Lennox
taking it so slow for."

"I started to yell at the Television" > "Hit him Lennox so I can go to sleep".

"He must have heard me, because he blasted out that 'bloke' Bruno in a flash after that."

bruno was a very nice man, never said a bad word about anyone and this comment just shows the gentleman he is

lewis had a lot of good things to say about bruno after the fight

[tysonesque]

I think Lewis was a very fortunate fighter to be honest. If ever there was a guy who was in the right place at the right time it was Lewis.

Holyfield and Tyson are the only serious names on his record and both were well past their best when he fought them. Tyson in particular was a fat and empty shell of the fighter he once was and lost two of his next three fights to journeymen. Lewis' win over Tyson is about as legitimate as Berbick's win over Ali.

I just don't see Lewis beating a peak Holyfield or Tyson. Any fighter who gets flattened by a single punch from a couple of average fighters like McCall and Rahman isn't getting through a fight with peak Tyson and I think peak Holyfield would have out worked him for a UD. It's also questionable whether he'd have beaten Riddick Bowe.

Lewis struggled badly with Bruno who was comfortably beaten by every top heavyweight he ever fought and he also struggled with Mercer who was quite comfortably beaten by a positively geriatric Holmes, who Tyson easily blew away many years earlier.

Who did Lewis beat that was anywhere near the top of their game? Absolutely no one really. He's lucky Vitali was cut so badly otherwise he'd probably have retired on the back of a knockout defeat as well.

I'll give him credit for essentially beating every guy he fought due to him avenging his losses, but he was a very well managed fighter as much as anything else.
