    Every undisputed champ has been knocked down more times than Lennox. When lennox was actually focused against elite opposition and heavy hitters he was NEVER FLOORED. He stepped his game up when he needed to.

    Put Foreman-Lyle on a corrupt card with a ref that only counts to 7 and Lyle wins by KO.

    Put Ali-Cooper 5000 ft above sea level where the air is thin, and see if smelling salts could save Cassius then? Cooper wins by KO in South Africa.

    So your entire response consists of "would have should have could have" type scenarios? well guess what. Ali beat Cooper,Foreman beat Lyle.
    Put Foreman on a corrupt card? Whatever man. You are grasping at straws now.

    All of Tyson's fights post prison were smoke and mirrors.
    He was a shadow of himself, and just got gradually worse.
    I don't think many rational people rate that as a great win for Lewis. Tyson was given a punchers chance and that was about it.

    Even at the time both guys said they were old, but it was a fight that they both had to have. Tyson mentioned something at the time about having sparred as kids, and now were fighting as middle aged men.

    If Lewis hadn't have fought Tyson, then dickheads right now would be saying "oh but Lewis never fought Tyson, even when he was old, he was scared of him"

    The truth about Lennox is

    -Defeated everyone he ever faced
    -Last Lineal Heavyweight Champion
    -Last Undisputed Heavyweight Champion
    -Avenged all losses
    -Wins over Tyson, Holyfield, Klitschko, Bowe(olympics)
    -Only 1 of 3 Hws to retire as champion


    Everything else is opinion.

    Vitali held the lineal title after Lewis. Lewis retired and the title was vacated.
    Vitali picked it up when he fought the top contender and The Ring crowned him champion. Then Vitali retired and Wlad picked up the Lineal title with the win over Ruslan Chagaev.
    I worry about you. Did you really think there would be no lineal champion? When someone retires the title is vacant and a new champion is crowned when the number 1 and number 2 contenders fight. This has happened at least twice since Lewis!

    But Lewis was the last undisputed champ you are correct.

    No Lewis is not 1 of 3 to retire as the lineal HW champion.
    Wrong again sir. Marciano,Tunney,Joe Louis,James J. Jeffries,and Ali all retired as champions.
    Ali retired twice as champion by the way.

    Well it's all true. Saying Holyfield was bad because he foght mostly US fighters is silly because Lewis fought mostly US fighters. The birth place of your opponent is not really indicative of anything.

    Sandman asked for foreign HW's, you gave him a list of CW's, Sandman pointed out he asked specifically for HW's and you stuck to your guns telling him he's wrong and asked for just foreign fighters even though it's right there in black and white.:roll:

    3 hours between his post and your response, it would show if he'd altered it within that time period. Edited my ass.

    Yeah, Lennox is devastated he doesnt have parkinsons and a few extra Losses on his resume. He shouldve kept giving rematches until he was old enough and shot enough for Vitali to win one.

    I bet he sits in his mansion in Montego Bay or Miami, or Hadley and wishes he couldve ended his career with a loss , or a scrub like Emanuel charr. Because saying your the last guy stop Klitschko in his prime gets boring after awhile. Being able to type on a keyboard without going kdsj;sdj;lsdj;lksjd is over-rated.

    In 120 years of gloved boxing only 3 guys have broken the lineage: Tunney, Marciano and Lennox. Very elite company indeed.

    Nope. I didn't edit anything.

    Surprisingly it appears you saw what you wanted to see. Why am I not surprised?
