His win over Tua was great I admit. Tua was in his prime,had great power,a very good record,great chin etc Lewis beat him. But it's not as if Tua was an ATG. Tua was a historical underachiever with weight problems. Golota was a mental patient who fouled himself out of 2 world titles and was KO'd in 1 round in his career etc Holmes and Tyson beating old has beens? No that's Lewis job. The Frank Bruno,Razor Ruddock and Tony Tucker that Tyson beat were in their prime. Lewis fought them all after Tyson. And Tucker was 17 pounds heavier,addicted to crack cocaine and absent from boxing for 3 years prior to Lewis.
Mercer gave Lewis hell and then practically begged for a rematch but Lewis said "no." Wonder why? Lummox Lewis,the biggest joke on HW boxing ever.
McGrain There is at least one out there, see if you can add to it in support of your rather spurious claim.[/quote]Look up the article I gave you. The writer reports how many of the crowd were chanting things like "robbery" or "bull****" after Lewis was announced the winner of the Holyfield rematch. It's borderline immoral to fight a fighter as past his prime as Tyson was. Any prime ATG champion would beat the 2002 version of Tyson. That fight was meaningless. And as bad as Tyson was,Lewis didnt look so great doing it. That fight was a joke. The name looks good on the record but when you did deeper you realize it was a sham. You ****ing guys think that anyone who disagrees is a "troll." It's called an opinion based on news articles and video. You choose to believe the Lewis myth that's your choice. What the **** is it with that "troll" anyway. It's a complete nonsensical hipster word. Only chi chi men would use them kinds of insults when they have nothing left to say. Whatever,in my house we refer to Lennox as "Lummox Lewis,the glass chinned cherry picking con man."
To be fair Grant was nothing more than a young inexperienced kid who was fed to the HW champ for money. Grant wasn't even fully developed. Any good HW would beat Grant.
Very few heavyweights in the history of the sport have beaten another ATG in their prime. Go make a poll comparing lennox lewis's resume to that of mike tyson or larry holmes, i guarantee lennox will win in a landslide.
