Lennox Lewis = Early retirement?

That may well be true, but hes still ranked right up near the top 20.

Thats more to do with the awful standard of the modern HW division that anything else though.

 

Lewis would have been quicker on his feet and harder to hit if he'd been in the mid-240's.

Being heavy, and trying to match the size of Klitschko doesn't actually help and merely allows them to pummel you easier. It's why David Haye or Eddie Chambers took less damage than (say) Samuel Peter or Ruslan Chagaev.

Agreed.

It was an advantage being leaden footed and easy to hit?

Please.

He was training for Johnson, who he could beat with his arms tied behind his back and ended up fighting Klitschko whilst not in top shape. And he won.

Seriously, log the **** out.

:yep

Golota for me.

 

I'm a fan of both Lewis and Vitali Klitschko. Lewis certainly didn't retire early. His final fight confirmed what he had most likely felt for quite some time-he was past his best. Looking at it from Lewis' perspective he retired at just the right time. At the top without taking needless punishment.

 

Lewis was better than the klitcshkos

 

By who? Boxrec? They have Fury in the top 10 for God's sake.

 

According to boxrec Chad Dawson is almost top 10 all time P4P and greater then Hopkins :hey

 

surely!

i'm big fan of Lennox Lewis and also a Klitschko's fan

 

Dude, Rahman is clsoe to getting a shot at the WBA title.

Wlad is going to fight Mormeck sometime soon.

There are some shockingly bad fighters(for world level heavyweights) that are considered top 20.

Holyfield is legitimately prob top 30.

 

The Sherman Williams fight means **** all. It was 12 years after he fought Lewis.

Holyfield fought for the WBA strap 9 years after he fought Lewis, so i think Irishny's point holds up.

 

Mate your wasting your time. He thinks todays HW division is has good as it's ever been. Say no more.

 

You're an idiot!

No further explanation needed.

 

Both Wlad and Vitali would beaten all of the guys in Lennox Resume when Lennox fought them.

edit. This ERA Vitali and Wlad are fighting definitely is not any great but it is not tha bad what people are claiming it is. And I find it pathetic to bring up those fossiles Lennox fought who are nowadays getting gift title shots(which they could no way in hell earn if they had to fight for those title shots) to be somekind of measure stick how weak or strong this ERA is. Like it hasnt happened before..

 

Lennox was too slick and black for those russian Robots. Slick and black guys destroy russian robots everytime without fail.

 

Vitaly owns lewis every time he won every single round so how is lewis superior you knob jockey The chances of lewis glancing thumb tearing vitalys eye ever again are as good as a flying bottle of beer striking vitaly in the head during a fight which is sweet **** all. Lewis was basicly the same age as wlad is now 36 but with less fights and was the undisputed champ who looked fantastic in his previous fight so how could he be shot? Was it the massive 2 kilos he purposely put on so he can handle a big guy like vitaly. Lewis knew all along he would fight vitaly instead of Jhonson he thought he would catch vitaly unprepared. Vitaly was his mandatory. Lewis could never beat vitaly at any age and he knows it that's why he ran from the rematch. Listen to the sack swingers tko 6 tko 6 thats all they can say because theres nothing else postive to say for lewis in that fight so they keep repeating it like it means something.

 

You are obviously a racist.

Race has nothing to do with boxing ability.
