How many more losses would Lennox Lewis have if he fought these 5 fighters?

clearly I touched a nerve. truth hurts.

 

How do some of you guys feel the likes of Ali, Holmes, Louis, Foreman, Frazier or just about any great heavyweight there ever was does on the same time frame Lewis is given in these fights? I'd go as far to say that none of them have a chance of going undefeated, especially when you consider Lewis was 37 when he met Vitali and coming in from a year long lay off.

 

I'd agree with you.

That's a pretty tough roster of fights to go through without a loss. Anybody would have to be on peak form every night, and against those big hitters all it takes is a single punch. I would frankly have bet my car on Vitali beating the brakes off OLD Lewis if he'd rematched. Frankly TKO6 is the best win on Lewis' resume, especially considering his age. Jeebus, can you imagine old Ali in there with prime Vits :-( It would be inhuman.

 

I agree with all of this, especially the last bit. That would be one sorry sight!

 

Assuming Lewis was focused for the fights and in particular in shape for the Vitali rematch, he doesn't lose any of them.

 

I don't hate any boxer,I do detest you but that's another issue.


Yeah Lewis was afraid of Ruiz.atsch


Your mistake was being born.

 

Thing is Ali wouldn't have been as war torn facing Lewis's opponents when he did. He also wouldn't have spent over 3 years of his prime getting fat in exile either.....

 

A huge question mark. In some ways he's tested against two world class prime, undefeated tykistically opposite fighters. But then again we don't know if he ever would have added up to anything world class himself on a consistent basis.

Clearly Lewis would have lost if he lost focus, most likely after Holy and Tyson when he felt his legacy safe and secure. Hard to say who against since Rahman turned the trick.

 

I don't see what the problem is about Lewis dropping a belt to Ruiz?

He beat Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitscko back to back.

He was 37, beat who he needed to beat and established himself as the dominant fighter if his era and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

I don't give a **** about John Ruiz.

 

There was no hate in my post whatsoever, but to say that a rematch with Vitali is a forgone conclusion that Lewis would loose is completely biased on your part. I think this is a 50-50% call as to who would win the rematch. So while I put down that Lewis would likely win all of the matches you outlaid, one loss wouldn't surprise me. Two would.

Rather than dump on everyone who disagrees with you regarding the Vitali rematch, why don't YOU try looking at the full picture once in awhile. Even without the cut above the eye, Vitali face looked like he was hit by a truck, and a less rusty version of Lewis may well have ended the fight in dramatic fashion within the first 3-4 rounds. Of course the opposite is also true, but at least I acknowledge there is an opposite outcome, which is more than you seem to be able to fathom.

 

If Lennox is properly focused,he beats them all.

 

Exactly, its totally irrelevant!

 

Its called OBJECTIVITY.:good
