Lennox Lewis all time place and legacy

Lennox is top 5 for me a great champion

But skill wise i dont think he is nothing great but he uses his size and natural talent to his best thats why he ranks highly H2H with me

 

I still laugh at the Sky commentators picking Tyson....

Who had Tyson beat since coming out of jail?

Who did Tyson beat that was prime and world class before going to jail?

Ruddock excepted?

 

Michael Spinks?

 

Now I disagree here.

Look at Lewis going through oponents who he did not enjoy physical advantages over in terms of height and reach (say Grant or Klitschko) and you get the idea that his mental wiring and reflexes were on another level for a fighter of such inches.

 

One of the finest heavyweights ever in terms of elite ability and effectiveness. Pair that up with being one of the greatest achievers the division has ever known and you simply have one of the greatest fighters the division has ever known.

 

If skillwise you think hes nothing great, than you must think vitali klitschko is ****, skill wise.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I'm not saying he was terribly skilled. I mean terms in technical abilities of boxing in lower weights etc... Lewis boxed to his natural talents and size is one of those. He used his advantages to counteract his opponnets.

So in terms of technical skills he isnt great but he uses his advantages.

i dont rate Vitali that high skillwise if you look at Lewis, Vlad, Vitali they are nothing skill wise to Louis, Ali, Tyson, Patterson, Liston etc..
