Lennox Lewis

:good would you listen to these G's :roll: tyson , lewis , holyfeild:| woulda beat them :| they were the greatest

Klitschkos #1 :deal

 

What if no boxers ever lost. Who'd be considered the greatest fighter of all times?

 

Lennox cut vitali to ribbons. Byrd made him quit. Wlad he's been kod 3 times. Neither brother will EVER be considered the greatest.

 

ROFL Get real man Lennox nearly took Vitali's face off & TKO'd him in 6.
Lennox was barely 80% in shape yet he took on his #1 contender on 2 weeks notice and BEAT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
I 100% Lennox would destroy Vitali in a rematch like he did McCall & Rahman.
Lennox biggest fault was he tended to be lazy & lose concentration which caused both his losses. He beat every man he faced in the pro ring & in my book is the best HW champion since Ali

 

People also need to remember the Lewis-VK fight was the fight after the biggest heavyweight fight since Ali-Frazier. If you look at most superfights, the guy who won often has a dodgy day at the office in the fight after, both physically and mentally it is a lot harder to get up for small fights - meanwhile Vitali is in the fight of his life and still gets his face punched off.

 

that's only in your british head

 

Not sure about all that. Tyson could rarely get off more than one punch at a time, and that was in 1999. Literally seconds before he landed the right hand on Botha, the three muskateers of the Showtime crew all agreed Tyson was displaying the marks of a shot fighter. And we didnt need to be told. The guy was being outboxed thoroughly by FRANCOIS BOTHA.

 

Regardless of what version of Tyson it was. Lewis - Tyson was the biggest heavyweight fight since Ali-Frazier.

 

I'd say no.

If he'd have got a prime Tyson (or even one that wasn't totally shot), Bowe or fresher Hollyfield on his CV he'd perhaps be in for a good shout.

 

Not sure about that at all.

It may well have pulled in the revenue with the growing nature of PPV at the time, but it was universally seen as a bit of a non event with Tyson clearly being done.

I'd say in the UK the first Tyson/Bruno fight at the time was a much bigger occasion than the Lewis/Tyson one.

 

And even as an event, it wasnt bigger than Holyfield/Tyson II which was arguably the most infamous spectacle in modern sports history, much less boxing.

The only reason Tyson was given any logical chance whatsoever was due to what happened to Lewis in South Africa and nothing to do with what he'd shown in the ring. The last time Tyson was good taking for a win (at least in retrospect) was 1997 when he came in at a chiseled 218 having trained with Giachetti for several months.

Lewis fight was little more than a payday to assist in Tyson's financial ruin.
