Was Lennox truly dull?

[Mr140]

Well Third with your logic because Tyson was outboxed by Douglas i am sure Lennox could as well i mean bringing up all the bad about Lennox. I mean i think your hate for the dude kinda clouds the judgement abit. Ali had a hell of time with lesser fighters then Lennox so did Holmes. Bring up Foreman when he was young mean the same man out boxed by young. And as far as Tyson never really beat anybody worth a shit in his prime. And Holyfeild as much as i am a fan would of had troubles with Lewis anytime.

We all know if Lennox came out after the '84 Olympics, you know who would be waiting for him? A prime Holyfield that was dominating the cruiserweight division and coming into the HW ranks. A Tyson that still had the Catskill gang and was dominating the HW division.

Lewis caught them at the right time, as in Holyfield was 37 and declining and Tyson was shot.

And it's kind of funny that someone here said that Lewis had a better record than any hw in the last 30 years, because 30 years ago Ali and Holmes was still fighting. And any boxing fan wouldn't say Lewis had a better record/resume than Holmes and especially ALi.

Holyfield had no trouble with Lewis in the second fight, I had Hoylfield a clear winner in that one, and let's not forget Holyfield is really a Cruiserweight! I don't hate Lewis i just think people overrate him. He lost to two pugs in his prime and probably for the same reason Tyson lost to Douglas ( he didn't train and was complacent) He was good, but not as good as a lot of people think here. (No Bowe?) Lewis just didn't grab me as an excitng fighter, i really can't find anything special about him. Tyson beat everyone who was put in front of him, many of whom were unbeaten at the time Tyson fought them. Ali fought in the golden era against Liston, Frazier, Foreman and Norton. Foreman was a monster who by the time he fought Jimmy Young was already thinking of early retirement and was not mentally right for that fight. Frazier was always entertaining and always dangerous, if you want a Soccer comparision i have Lewis at the top of the Championship Division just outside the Premier League!
