How Good Was Lennox Lewis?

Very good. You can say he beat everyone that was put in front of him since he avenged all of his losses. One of the best british fighters ever. Looks like Stevie Wonders now. an ATG for sure.

 

He is getting more respect after he retired, but that wasn't always the case when he fought. When he fought, he got much or less the same treatment as did the Klitschko's such as, weak jaw, beat a dead tyson, fat and out of shape and etc.

 

Better than Vitali


i guess anything else is just secondary

 

Lenny Lewis was ****ING AWESOME!!! He's top-5 on the ATG list.... Well, at least on mine he is....... Peace......

i'll second that. agreed. it's funny, since you mention the stevie wonder thing, which is true. lewis was often accused of being dumpy or bloated because he has kind of a round, babyface. but for most of his fights, throughout his career, he was in terrific shape, positively lean and strong...did people look at his puffy cheeks and forget to check the six pack and biceps. i mean, the guy was a hard trainer, that was obvious.

 

the best hw of the last 20 years and thats some accomplishment considering tyson, evander, bowe etc

 

Well I have him at my #5 greatest heavyweight of all time, and I absolutely hate dreadlocks.

 

Not good enought to give vitali a rematch

 

Lenny Lewis was ONE of the FEW dudes who could go from 227 to 256 pounds and NOT look like a total slob.......... Lewis always looked bulky and buffed.... Lewis was heavy for Klit in 2003, but held the added weight well..

However, dudes like "Foreman & Bowe" could NOT add weight and still look lean and mean, and in-shape.......... Above 245, BOTH "Foreman & Bowe" began looking fat and slobbish....... Peace.....

And Vitali wasnt wasnt good enough to beat lennox the first time. :yep

 

The guy would fall asleep or play chess in the locker room before a fight.
Doesn't get any better than that.

 

The best of his time.

 

He was good enough to have lewis run into retirement an pass up twenty million in doing so
