Lewis really has grown on me I was raised a Tyson fan but I've grown to appreciate what Lewis was.

Not a fan of Lewis or Klit, however it looked as if Vitali could have KO'd Lewis.
Jack dempsey didn't want anything to do with the black heavies of his own time, I doubt he'd fancy going up against a modern black monster like Lennox
I wish someone would ask Lewis "how is it that you had a crying, no punch throwing, going through crack withdraws Oliver McCall (a man who knocked you out) right in front of you and still couldn't knock him out
I've felt this way about Lewis for a while now too. George Foreman has said Lewis is the greatest heavyweight ever.
I don't think his legacy is greater than Ali's or Louis's necessarily, but Lewis against any heavyweight in history, he should be favored to beat them.
His height, boxing ability, athleticism and power make him extremely difficult to beat. He was a thinker too and knew how to wear his opponent out by throwing his weight around.
There's a case to be made Lewis was a bigger puncher than Tyson when you compare common opponents: Botha, Golota, Ruddock.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
How early the fruit is falling this season...Lewis was a big lumbering oaf, the picture on my wall moves faster than he does!
Tyson, Holmes and Ali beat him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Dempsey did refuse to fight blacks when he was champ, and was open about his disdain for them. I'm pretty sure he never fought a single one, it's hardly bullshit to say so. Of course it may have been that nobody would have paid him accordingly either, most people concerned didn't want to see a black guy fight at the top level in those days![]()
