You should write headlines for the Daily Mail. They're usually sensational and without and knowledge of substance behind them as wel...
Lewis vs Briggs is a very underrated fun fight were they went all out, ppl forgot that Briggs could punch as hard as any elite puncher and Lewis was just having fun in that fight. Lewis is a bad boy.
Another great Rummy classic video.. Tells it like it is. Lennox main fault was his underestimating his opponents he did not consider dangerous. He paid the price. When in shape & focused he was practically unbeatable. Just look at the classic KO of Rahman in the rematch Rahman flat out his head sitting perfectly in the King crown on the canvas . That fault cost Lennox the honor of retiring undefeated
Give that one up Lennox Claudius Lewis was born in Hampstead, London, ENGLAND which entitles him to be a BRITISH subject. When questioned about his nationality Lennox gave a classic answer " Well I'm the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the WORLD! so really I guess I represent the world don't I "
Canada didn't have the ability to handle Lennox career He was a British subject he was never a Canadian subject. I can understand youre wanting to claim him though not many world champs from Canada I guess
I don't understand how this nonsense about Lewis' nationality still needs to be discussed. He himself stated very clearly numerous times that he was never a Canadian, never felt like a Canadian, wasn't born there, and doesn't have cultural or other ties with Canada. He lived there for a while and as he says, "Canada has been kind to me", but that's it. He considers himself a Brit, always has. In his words: "I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of twelve for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing." This content is protected
I think Lennox had a better chin than most Lineal Heavyweight Champions (from Sullivan to present) had, so definitely not glass. He had a good chin, IMHO, of course.
But we're talking about his chin ie: genetics, and that chin is 100% British beef which was more than enough to support an ATG career...
