Was Lennox truly dull?

[ryanman]

Lennox had a superb jab...Not quite the quality of Holmes but would give Larry a run for his money...He was stronger and he was a better finisher...

Frazier would have ended up the same way as he did in the Foreman fight...Lennox was fond of the uppercut perfect for the crossarm defense to sneak through.......

He would have given Ali a run for his money and Prime for Prime he was a better boxer then Tyson and a harder one punch KO finisher.....Lewis ate the Right hands of Mercer and Tua who were harder punchers then Tyson who was a quanity volume combination KO finisher not a one shot knockout artist

He was a better boxer then Foreman but of course the power did not compare (In his prime no one compared to Foreman)....

How can you believe all these men would have flattened and outboxed Lennox so easily?

Two names McCall and Rahman, both were not in the same class as the others mentioned. Lewis just appeared lazy to me, Frazier would have got in underneath him and let that left hook go, if he could flatten Ali with it then Lewis would be no problem. Tyson in 1986-88 would destroy him, Holmes and Ali would win easy UD decisions (Holyfield made Lewis look slow and lumbering in fight number 2)and Big George might not think he could have beaten Lewis but he would have landed something big and Lewis would be counting light globes! I'm talking about the George of 1973!

Your basing this on 2 losses by an undertrained fighter?...Whats next Henry Cooper could have dropped Lewis because he dropped Ali?.....You are comparing the competition of Tyson in 86-88 to the skillset of Lennox Lewis?.....

These are not valid reasons for what you stated.....You are discounting a career of huge wins over high caliber fighters (at the time) against 2 short comings.....

well said, the brutal revenge he took on both these men ADDS to his legacy. Lennox has better names on his record than any other heavy of the last 30 years (it seems weird that 1980 was almost 30 years ago!)
