Lennox Lewis is overrated

This is bull**** and you know it Mike Tyson, Vitaly Klitschko and David Tua , all noted for their power landed heavy shots on Lewis chin he never moved. the KO losses Lennox suffered were really of his own making lack of preparation & overconfidence He sure made up for both didnt he
:bbb :bbb :bbb :admin :tong

 

I guess Lewis just got lucky when he fought those guys, huh?

 

Look at how Lewis fans jump on me for stating a fact.

It tends to hit home pretty well doesn't it guys, especially when it's true.

 

your right, Lewis doesn't get free passes for his losses, Holyfield get's free passes because his "prime" was for a shorter period

 

It's called having a great defence, which Lewis had. The fact that Lewis beat a variety of good power punchers clearly, or decimated some, while not getting KTFO is a show of his inherrant class.

He was a tremendously skilled fighter, I enjoyed watching him, but we are solely talking about his punch resistance in this conversation between you and I.

 

A guy that can't win a triliogy with John Ruiz does not make greatest of his era to me.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he beat Holyfield twice (ok one was a draw but it should have been a win). Holyfield couldn't even hold onto the HW title for any length of time.

Didn't Tyson pay $4million step-aside money to Lewis so he didn't have to fight him?

Why exactly didn't Lewis fight Bowe? Please enlighten us Zakman.

/yawn

 

Utter Bollocks. You don't fight for 14 years, fighting the best HWs of your era (minus one who ducked him) and only get floored twice if you have a glass jaw. Either that or Lewis is the HW version of Pernell Whitaker, Winky Wright and Willie Pep all rolled into one.

Lewis was down fewer times in his career than Ali or Holyfield. That is a fact.

 

There is a difference between going down, and being put out, I'd suggest you learn the difference.

Ali and Holyfield have never been KTFO by a single punch like Lewis.

 

some people need to hop off holyfields jock. I can't even see how you have him in the same class. Lewis beat him twice. twice. Holyfield has two claims to fame, greatest cruiserweight ever, and beating tyson. never dominated, made bowe look a hell of alot better then he actually was, same with moorer.
Tyson, how can u have him higher than Lewis? Lewis is anywhere from 6-10 on the greatest hwts of all time.

 

Why should I learn the difference? You want me to start taking punches to find out?

I don't believe Lewis has a better chin than Ali or Holy, that would be nonsense. But it ain't glass either.

You think Lewis is a HW defensive master? You must if you believe him to have a glass jaw.

 

I consider Lewis as having one of the best defences at HW ever, if that's what you mean. His defence was great -

The ability to slip punches well, block well with timing, size up distance, and to lessen the impact of shots when they hit by subtle movements.

He was a great fighter, nobody denies that.
