Was Lennox truly dull?

Controlling can be seen by some as boring, by others as master full.

Knowing when to do something and when not to do something takes a fair bit of smooth inner calm and knowing specially when you got another heavyweight after your head. I have to give him props for it. Its like a warrior that smashes his attackers with his shield then kills them when it suits him best, its clever.

My only knock I ever had on Lewis was he didnt fight holyfield and tyson earlier. He is only a few years younger nothing that would make a difference but he fought them when they were clearly past their best. I'm sure those fights could have been made earlier than they were.

All in all I would love to have Lennox Lewis back compared to the shiit today barring Vitali Klit who I think gives any heavy in history a pikem fight

Exactly

if you have a vague interest in the sport i wouldnt reccomend a lewis boxset to take home with you. If however you have any knowledge on the artform that is boxing you will realise why lewis will always be remembered as a truly great champion and indeed a fighter.

Lewis was not a klitschko esque jab happy yawnfest fighting D level opponents, he was infact an artist that took great pride in his technique and beat the last great echelons of heavyweight talent through a lethal mix of power and precision
