is lennox lewis overrated?

Marciano was a very little heavyweight and would not be capable of standing with the giants of today. Ali lost to Leon Spinks who belongs in the McCall and Rahman category. The biggest Heavy Ali ever knocked down weighed around 223 pounds.

Considering the fact that many people put McCall and Rahman big punchers category your last point does not make any sense. Tyson got knocked out by Buster Douglas who had a lower knockout percentage 54% compared to Rahman's 68%.

Agrees. He was one of my faves too!:deal

 

lololololol

best thing ive heard all year

 

This would be the same Bobby Czyz who was a darn fine light heavyweight about a decade before that fight right??

Quite the impressive win.

WHERE DD MANNY STEWART EVER SAY THAT SANDERS WAS A FIGHTER THAT LEWIS COULD NOT BEAT.????

You cant jut say crzy stuff like that and not post a link.

That has to be one of THE most ******ed things Ive ever heard,and Im including things Ive heard from people who have actual mental problems.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.If you ae I take back my comments about you being ******ed.

 

...wait,having read your post again,I realise that you were kidding.

I apologise.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

PROOF of how ridiculously overrated Lewis is by some boxing fans!:yep

 

no,he beat every opponent he ever faced.name me another heavy post 50's who can say that.

 

With his big wins over evander, tua, Tyson, klitschko(losing in my opinion), and how he avenged his only two losses I give him top 3 heavy of all time consideration

 

Just to point out your error again.:think

Really!

Log off now sorearseQatari!

 

Lewis ducked Sanders now aswell!! :blood

 

Yes. It's far more sensible to rate Lewis below guys he actually beat. We all know that.

Like Evander "Three Primes" Holyfield for example, is that what you're getting at Zak?

But..but..

He fought everyone when it mattered.

Yeah, and he lost the series against Bowe 1-2

Beat a Tyson who had fought 8 rounds in 5.5 years, so christ alone knows why anyone figures that counts as "near Prime Tyson". If that Tyson was near prime so was the one Lewis beat. (which it clearly wasn't).

And went 0-1-1 against Lewis, with the draw being one of the most horrendous pieces of judging in recent history.

Lost to Ham'n'egger Moorer, couldn't beat Ruiz in a series and got KO'd by a former middleweight.

But that doesn't count, because it wasn't in one of his 3 primes, I know, I know.

 

No. He ruled an era and was as complete a boxer - puncher at HW as you can get. His losses to big HW punchers are not anymore embarassing than Ali being knocked down by a 188 pound guy. Let Rahman hit that version of Ali with the punch Cooper landed and Ali would have had a KO loss on his record. Lewis at his best would have been a very difficult assingment for any HW in history

Lewis dominated against many good opponents of different styles. He could rip through Ruddock, Grant, Golota or he could keep his cool against dangerous early - round fighters like Bruno and Briggs to knock them out or he could outbox Tua, Holyfield, Mavrovic.

 

More of this?

Really?
