Better career: Lennox Lewis or Joe Calzaghe

I`d put the Kessler victory as Joe' best win.:good
The Lacy fight was a boxing schooling for a very much overated Lacy.

As for Hopkins and Jones Jr.:dead

The history books will show wins for Joe, but every one knows he caught them when they were ripe for picking.

Joe likes to tell the world about how great he is, and he`s unbeaten, champion for over 10years.
But how many RISKS has he taken through his career, not many.:think

Frank Warren has guided Joe very well, not letting his fighter take any chances that might trip joe up through his career.

Joe' biggest problem now is he`s left alot of questions un-answered, and people will always be talking about how good he really was.:huh

 

These article is to backup Lewis career is greater than Joe..atsch And Lewis was really feared only after the Golota fight not after the McCall crackhead match.

 

Learn how to read, i know he didn't become champ this night but the WBC title was on the table for the fight. And after seeing what hapened, Lewis became something that Joe never was, a fearsome ruler.

 

I would say stamina chin and speed

 

Anyway Widdow, again the poll show that your are WRONG. Lewis got a better career, get over it boy.

 

Lennox Lewis' career as an HBO announcer is more impressive than Calzaghe's career as a "boxer".

 

I think Joe was floored by Will McIntyre and Kabary Salem too.

 

Agree with the Kessler being the best win Calzaghe says that himself when asked,but Hopkins was the man at LH and did have one of his top 5 wins straight after so being shot doesnt stack up.I dont think he really left any questions unanswered,the only small one would be a Dawson match-up which could still happen if Dawson can generate interest from PPV audiences in America.

 

Obviously you take weight they fight in into consideration.Compared to the other top guys fighting in their respective divisions I would stand by the 3 assets Calzaghe has over Lewis.Anyone can get decked by a good shot if they are unbalanced or hit by the forearm but a good chin means when you do get hit you can recover very quickly.I have never seen Calzaghe look like he was going to be KO'd even when he went down but Lewis was.Calzaghe really was a different animal when he was in his prime he wouldn't rely on his skill so much like he did later on in his career he would just batter guys into submission.Maybe thats why UK people rate him so highly because we remember watching him using not only speed and skill but raw power and agression aswel.

True,without stamina Calzaghe would be a far less fighter but without speed Jones would be far less fighter and Tyson without power the same.

 

Widdow is just an idiot Wlad bandwagon fan. Now tell me if this makes sense, Lewis turn down a career pay day to fight Tyson but agree to a step aside money just for Tyson to fight a bum Seldon? Lol come on. That article widdow found were bs that doesn't make any sense. And i find it funny that the rest of the articles i read that Tyson choose to fight Seldon over Lewis in which is Tyson vacated his wbc Heavyweight title in which none of other articles say anything about Lewis turn down his biggest pay day to fight Tyson. Lewis has always wanted to fight Tyson. If i remember Correctly even Tyson admit that he turn down a fight vs Lewis cause of his words he didn't want hurt him lol.

 

Lennox Lewis.
