Was Lennox truly dull?

Lennox Lewis beat Holyfield and Tyson in their prime? lol
The Brits tend to overrate their champs, see Ricky Hatton as a prime example.

Yes Lewis did beat Holyfield twice, and beat Tyson, but let's not say he beat them at their prime. Holyfield was 37 when they met, and Tyson was a washed up fighter.

and yeah lennox got holyfield and tyson out of their prime but he still did what he had to do, i do believe a 20 year old tyson beats anyone in history tho

I personally didn't think he beat Mercer or Holy the second time.

agree with u on the 2nd holyfield fight van, thought he beat mercer tho, whens ur next stint may i ask mate

I don't think lennox is slow, he's intelligent, cautious. He tends to measure his opponent first. He isn't a brawler but if given the oppotunity he seize it.

Just like the Grant and Botha fight.

Tyson in his prime was great. The fantasy fight everyone talks about is Tyson vs Ali. I think a Tyson vs Joe Frazier would have made for a more exciting fight to watch.
I think Lewis was a bit boring too but nothing compared to the Klitchko,s.
The Shagaev fight is a prime example of that. Like all there other fights they could have finished him off in half the time. Is it because there fighting incredibly safe or trying to make the opponent look like he has a chance. Everyone in the heavyweight devision seems to be too stupid and slow to work out how to avoid their jab jab punch technique.
Is there anyone out there who can bring the heavyweight devision back to life.
