    Who do you think ? He had so many good performances. Do you prefer the early blow outs like against Ruddock, Grant , Golota etc ,the heavy handed mid round dismantlings like against Morrison and Briggs or the hard-fought points victories like Holyfield 1 ( you know he won ) and Ray Mercer.
    One of my favorite fighters is Lennox, many top draw victories, which was the best ?

    morrison for me. systematic, intelligent, patient, beatdown. used the jab wonderfully to wear down a still dangerous puncher, unloaded the heavy artillery when needed. his most complete performance ever

    I would probably agree mate. Took Tommy apart.

    Impressive KO over Rudduck but Lenny still a bit green but showed his class. Quality of opponent and execution would be the slightly faded Tyson....as far as impressive KO's Golota,Frans Botha,Michael Grant and Hasim Rahman II (who he should have never lost to

    The golota fight was f*ckin unreal, he was like a killer in there, total and utter violent destruction but maybe it was too short a fight to be called his best.

    true but also of note is golota's record of losing to every halfway (or almost halfway) decent opponent he ever fought

    Depends how you define good performances.

    Lennox will always lack that defining fight.

    He was outboxed by Bruno though, not good.

    Far too cynical to be a respected view on the subject.

    That is vintage Lewis.

    That's why the klithscko fans are beyond ******ed and living in fuking caves.


    He was outbox by Bruno until Bruno got KNOCKED THE **** OUT

    He was losing to Briggs and almost got knocked out before he chop off Brigg's dick and knocked him the **** out

    He lost the first round to shot Tyson even.


    He lost some early rounds to Mercer before he muscled his way to a competitive by CLEAR ud

    He was lazy as **** against Zeijko BreadMaker before he used Zeijko's body as a punching bag for the 2nd half of the fight


    Lewis is just like that.

    That's why early rounds to Lewis don't mean ****


    Also he ALWAYS look tired. HBO is ******ed and deserve to get flayed for such remarks about lennox looking tired.

    Lewis always look like that, he is just one lazy ass big african lion mother****er. He eats a zebra falls alsleep, wakes up eat another one

    that's how he fights

    Don't get me wrong Lennox is great. He's way ahead of the K's in my book.

    That still doesn't take away from the fact he doesn't have that quality quality win on his resume.

    He also got KO'd by two fighter way below his level. That counts against his legacy in a lot of opinions I have read over the years.

    As for Frank........he gassed. In fairness to Lennox he was still learning at that time. I preferred Lennox at 230lbs. I thought he gave away some of his strengths when he bulked up towards 250 lbs.
