    Lennox was good, but sometimes far too overrated

    This poster obviously doesn't like Lennox Lewis and he has allowed that to distort his perspective. The thread isn't to be taken seriously.

    Tony Tucker - Here, Lennox begins his vulture-like habit of fighting good fighters when they were well past their prime. Tony Tucker is the last great heavyweight we've had along with Mike Tyson. Lennox waited until Tony was 35 years old, fat and addicted to cocaine, and beat him 116-112.

    Oliver McCall - Oliver was 29 years old and stopped Lennox easily in the 2nd round.

    Tommy Morrison -

    Shannon Briggs - This guy has nothing on his resume. He even needed a gift from the judges to beat a 47 year-old Geroge Foreman.

    Evander Holyfield - Lennox cleverly waited until Holyfield was 37 years old to finally muster up the courage to fight him. I give Lennox no credit for beating him.

    David Tua - from 1992 to 1998, when he weighed around 225 lbs, Tua was a wrecking machine. Lennox of course steered clear of him in that period, although Tua was a top contender. In 2000, Tua ballooned up to 250 lbs. That's when Lennox finally decided to fight him. Tua managed to lose 5 pounds but was still a slow, fat bum.

    Hasim Rahman - A good fighter. But Lennox got KOed in 5.

    Hasim Rahman 2 - Hasim was a good fighter, not a great one. Ever heard the Billy Joel song "Get It Right The First Time"?

    Mike Tyson - This is Lennox's biggest con to boxing fans. Tyson and Lewis are the same age. So why did they fight so late? The answer is simple. Lewis started his career late, and so at this moment in time he was still in his prime. Tyson, on the other hand, started his career very young. Tyson was 20 pounds over his prime fighting weight, and was just completely shot.

    Sorry Wlad, you didn't get a shot at Lennox because you just refused to get old.

    Sorry Wlad, you didn't get a shot at Lennox because you just get KTFO by a semi pro golfer.

    :deal

    Lewis is one of the greatest heavy ever, IMO.
