Was Lennox truly dull?

[generalbulldog]

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!)

Ali and Holmes were still fighting 30 years ago. Are you saying Lennox Lewis has a better resume than those 2? Like I say, Brits tend to overrate their fighters into something which they are not, we all saw this with Ricky Hatton, but at least Hatton fought 2 great fighters in their prime while Lewis beat the 2 biggest names in the HW ranks when they were shot and/or old.
