Not lying just imitating the poorly written article. Its full of distortion like... This is absolutely false and was fueled by the ******ed commentating of Ian Darke. Briggs misses a punch then shoves Lewis backwards off balence. There was not a single meaningful shot landed apart from rabbit punches. But back to topic, none of Lennox's contemporaries have sh*t on him. -Tyson never beat a single great contemporary of his era: 0 wins vs Bowe, Holyfield Lennox -Bowe was schooled by a guy Lennox destroyed in 1 round. Either that or he was completely shot by 29. Take your pick. -Holyfield has 10 fckin losses to 44 wins. 50% ko ratio and headbutted his way to prominence and got caught with steroids. If Lennox isnt the leader of this era who is?
Again it means he was scared to fight lewis pure and simple. Foreman could have fought lewis back in 93 when foreman was 44 but foreman ignore it. Foreman was 42 when he fought holyfield.
You're answering your own question about McCall.He had to get back to the #1 spot and by the time he did,Oliver was long gone.You say you're researching but this is basic wiki stuff. If memory serves me correctly,Mercer had a bad injury and I'm sure he was out for a long time.By the time he got back again,he was well out of the picture. Ask yourself why Holyfield didn't fight Lewis,but I suspect you know the answer.Sorry but wherever you got your research needs bombed.It's letting you down badly here.You say there's no agenda but you're twisting facts to suit your purpose,which pretty much adds up to an agenda.
Lewis was ready to fight Holyfield but Evander got his ass kicked off Chicken Bowe, who didnt even dare get in the ring with Lewis!
This... plus the haters always conveniently forget that Lewis fought Holyfield in a unification fight and it was Holyfield who was the unified chmapion going into it. So clearly had plenty left. Haters will always ignore that fact though (especially the Americans)
Holyfield fought Tyson in June 97. Moorer in November 97. Bean in September 98. Lewis in March 99. So, 21 months later. Less than 18 months after beating Moorer. When was the end of this third prime again?
Lewis fought Holyfield when Holyfield was IBF and WBA champ. How exactly was Holyfield washed up? Holyfield was still competing at the top level for a few years after the Lewis fights. The guy was still beating contenders like Fres Oquendo in 2006.
Maybe that was because Foreman wanted to fight for the title not fight Lennox Lewis. You dumb ****. No one was ever scared of Lewis. You're wrong,you lose. That's it. There was never a reason for old Foreman to fight Lewis. Foreman wanted to fight and win the title. He did it. That's it. So if you refuse a fight,you're scared? I can tell you dont know what you're talking about.
The only reason Don King made the Holyfield-Tyson fight was because Holyfield was thought to be done,old and washed up. He had many wars and had lost a few big fights. 2 to Bowe,1 to Moorer etc
All Tyson did was beat all of the top contenders of the 1980's. And he beat them when they were still good. He didnt wait for them to be old and washed up like Lennox. You say Bowe was schooled by a guy Lewis killed in one round. Well Holyfield beat the guy who one punch KO'd Lewis. Rahman! Tyson was prime in the 80's and he beat the guys in the 80's. Tyson beat the Prime Tony Tucker (not the old one that was out of boxing that Lewis beat) And dont lie. Holyfield was never caught with steroids. He was accused just like Lewis was. Never failed one test and no evidence had come out. Apparently there was nothing to investigate. Prime Tyson and Holyfield beat up Lewis cherrypicker. It's just a fact. Lewis was great when he fought old guys but that's all.
Holyfield and Tyson fought in November 1996 dumb ass. Second time I'm gonna tell you. Third Prime? No such thing.
the truth about lennox was he was avoided.bowe, holyfield and tyson wanted no part of him.it was high risk little reward.they could fight easier fights and make as much money.who could blame them?at the end of the day it's always about the money.
@ Jean I like your style. Break down the Lewis wins I broke down, in a non trolling way. If you honestly hate him and it seem like you do. [url]http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=420616[/url] Discredit his avenging of both his defeats as well. But do it in a non-trolling way, go dig up info on how other HW'S have done that and it's not that special. I personally suspect you just wanna create an legendary thread like other posters, that's why you keep attempting to sound smart in this one.
And why did foreman fought morrison for when morrison didnt have a belt? If foreman fought morrison with no belt on the line then why he didnt fought lewis? You talking like a dumb a$$.
