Did Lennox Lewis fight any South paws?

A journeyman named Greg Gorrell. Gorrell fought orthodox for most of their fight, though.

 

you are pretending that Leiws being stripped for not facing Ruiz, is tha same as not facing byrd? they are different men

Moorer was no longer relevant at the end of 1997, on sabbatical from boxing for 3 years, and Sanders was never relevant for a title shot.

 

noone said he was, so how is you telling me this, helping me? u are hindering everyone by posting clutter. Stop doing it please.

Like here - watch -

he dropped it to fight tyson first.
Afterwards there was no need to face byrd as he beat his last opponent by easy tko7 and retired. Categorically impossible to fight byrd when retired.

It does not mention that he sought to avoid byrd. The inference is that he sought tyson.

1.You need a fresh proof. begin search. ty.

2.suggest a year he was of major relevance.

mentioned for the fact that he got eliminated by ko by rahman when bidding for a title shot, in that he was unsuccessful in earning a shot. Not earning a shot, is the opposite of earning a shot.

3. Explain why you reversed the facts. ty.

so sanders chose to fail to get into contention so that botha his pal could get a shot? no mate.

i see a trend too - only 2 southpaws in history ever challenged for the world title previous to the 90s, and thats for all the HW champions previous back to Sullivan. The trend is that they hardly ever fight southpaws. So Lewis is following almost every HW champ in historys trend.

4. Explain why you have reverse interpreted the real trend into a fictitious trend for ONLY Lewis.

Four points for you to work on.

 

why "interesting", when only two southpaws ever challenged for the title before the 90s? surely what lewis faced is the overwhelming norm for everyone else. - well I am not asking, it just IS, noone needs you to tell us that.

Its the norm for southpaws not to challenge for titles for almost every HW champ in history.

why are you trying to claim that the norm for almost every other champ, is abnormal for ONLY lennox? U appear to have something against the man, since you've singled him out for a non sequitur argument.

 

Anyone on this forum give either Byrd or Moorer a decent chance against Lewis ?
How many heavyweight champs prior to Lewis defended against southpaws?

 

I think Byrd vs Lewis would have been fun. Not saying Byrd beats him, but I think Byrd would have given him a challenge he'd not dealt with before.

I would have loved to have seen Sanders vs Lewis. That would have been a righteous tear up.

 

There wasn't any available to fight.

Chris Byrd?? lol . He only became a factor when the division was regulated down to F -level during the Klitschko era.

 

The issue is that even when prime, Sanders didnt have the ability to be matchfit for over 8 rounds, which is why his contention bid failed, and why him being considered would have made a laughing stock of a champion. To contend you have to prove capable of lasting 12 rounds as a base requirement.

Its embarrassing to invite a 8 round man to compete for a 12 round championship contest, as we've seen with WIlders best effort Luis Ortiz.

You have to be able to last over 8 rounds to rise above supra-gatekeeper level that sanders plateaued at. Many others were above that level.

 

Vitali Klitschko lost to Byrd , then shamefully ducked the rematch.. lol

why u need to run so fast

 

Sanders wasn't on the radar until he upset Wlad in March 2003.Lewis fought Vitali in June of that year and retired.
