not to mention that Lennox Lewis always refused to fight southpaws: he never fighted one, even if there were around the likes of Sultan Ibragimov, but moslty, Corrie Sanders, that was one of the , if not _the_ most dangerous southpaw ever in boxing hw; with Valuev, it's not clear who ducked who, but the fact is that Valuev could have koed Lennoz with the contrary not so likely to happen. Ah, and all of this, if you consider the mc call 2 a real fight.... McCall came directly from his rehab in that...rematch, he wasn't even trained properly, and went in a crazy mental state during the fight, crying (!) and refusing to do anything.... a gift rematch
It is, and a lot of it's down to available selection, but to discerning eyes Lennox (especially the post-Kronking finished article) is also simply better than WK (even the post-Kronking finished article).
Delete. Because the pleb's not worth it. Please explain so i can tear this weak ass argument to shreds, and honestly black and white has everything to do with Klit hate
I think this is fair break down: Lennox Lewis: Great fighter whos resume gets over rated by a lot of fans. Wlad: Great fighter whos resume gets under rated by a lot of fans. I'd venture to say 75% of it is racism, or pride in ones country. I'd say LL has a slightly better resume, and overall is a better fighter (he had an inside game), but Wlad deserves more respect, has beaten everybody willing to fight him, and is closely behind Lewis. Both got knocked out by guys they shouldn't have been knocked out by.
You know what it is. LL is The Man I give Holyfield all the credit in the world for those wins. Tyson may not be an ATG in a p4p sense, but he certainly cuts the qualifier amongst Heavyweights. In all sense of reality, guys like Tony Tucker or Razor Ruddock, a past-it Holmes (who'd tool Mercer around and win as many rounds against Holy as he lasted against Tyson a full four years on) are better heavyweights than Dempsey or Jack Jackson ever met in the ring. In fact, it's likely they wouldn't ever step in the ring with them what with their shameless record of ducking and drawing color lines as champions. They're probably even better than any challengers Wlad has met. Tyson cut and rippled through the division as it was in his time and has more wins (in more dominant fashion) over world rated opposition than Frazier, Marciano, Holyfield, Foreman or Liston and 2 fewer than Lewis. His top win(s) arent all that but his skills were, his depth is, his dominance was and as was his title reign. ATG Heavyweight? Shouldnt even be a question.
Holyfield was never proven to use anything. It's called innocent until PROVEN guilty. Nothing was proven,it's all speculation. So why single him out? Tommy Morrison said they were all on steroids in the 90's. You can bet Bowe,Tyson,Lennox,Ibeabuchi were all on steroids for time. Even good ol' Vitali was on them but in his case it was actually proven.
Lewis best win is Tua followed by Rudock. All his other wins were over old fighters,drug addicts or old drug addicts. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2-aY26Z8ns[/ame]
Lewis was battered by Ray Mercer and many thought Mercer won. Mercer wanted a rematch and suggested giving the fight procedes to charity but Lewis refused.
I hate this kind of argumentation. Let's say you're a fan of A and I'm a fan of B. I'll talk about all the negative things about A and you'll talk about all the negatives things about B. We'll never reach an agreement this way.
Lewis era was stronger but he avoided everyone in their primes. It's like if he came around in 1978 and decided to beat and old Joe Frazier,Old Ali and old Jerry Quarry.
