    Lewis was 18 and Biggs was a well-groomed, peaking 24. Not exactly a fair match-up.

    The whole scenario is preposterous. Lewis KO's Green or Green goes into retreat and clutch for the whole fight. Very Lopsided decision or towel being thrown in to save Green's life.

    If Mitch Green did anything spectacular during the 80's, I must have missed it. I remember his fight with a 19 year old Tyson, and frankly I wasn't very impressed by him. He was slow, not very busy, and didn't posses that much power for a man his size. I combed boxrec to try and find one decent name that he had claim to, and found none. Outside of going the distance in losing efforts with a very green Tyson and aging Berbick, I really can't see why anyone would give him a chance against a peak Lennox Lewis.

    this is a bit of a mis-match in my opinion. lewis is at least top 15 HW ever and mitch green is ..er....famous for fighting tyson out of the ring.

    horse**** that ruddock was finished when lewis fought him. he could have been at his very best that night, infact probably was. problem was lewis was devastating , watch the fight.

    Mitch blood Green beat Lennox Lewis :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


    Are you in :nut :nut :nut Crazy land ??????

    Lewis and tyson didnt have many fights with the same opponent

    Obviously Bruno Which ok Tyson did better

    Tucker which Lewis fared better

    Ruddock which Lewis fared better

    Golota i don't really count but again Lewis did better, but you honestly think Green could beat Lewis or knock his head into the 5th row.

    You are obviously consumed with hate for the best hw since larry holmes imo, do not know a lot about boxing or are just trying to get a reaction?

    Lewis beats Green mercilessly for 12 rounds unless his corner are merciful and pull him out :yep

    I suppose Green beats a prime vitali Klitschko as well :patsch like Lewis did in the worst shape of his career !!!!!


    God what a stupid thread :lol: :lol:

    Oh, it's not hate at all, just stating the facts and the facts is blatatently obvious. He beat all the fighters you named especially tucker, when they were shot and tucker gave him a good fight.( a washed up tucker) And I said a prime Tyson would knock his head in the 5th row, maybe you should read because you obviously didn't.

    Lewis best win was ray mercer(a shot holy and tyson don't count) and argueably lost that fight. He got 1 punched Ko'ed twice by to 2 journeymen and no other heavyweight I can think of that happened to, which is a testatment to his chin. Marciano also beat everyone he fought, but that doesn't mean he beats everyone head to head. Lewis, like Marciano, is a case of guy who fought in a weak era of heavys.

    And Larry would punch holes through lennox defense and make him go back to the gym and learn what a jab is.

    Lewis was good but he ain't as great as what people made him to be, he had plenty of chincs that people ignore and he was very beatable.

    He damn suredidn't have a Larry jab. Prime Pinklon has a better jab than Lewis. Lewis just uses his height well. Other than that, nothing special about him.

    Who in the hell did Green beat that was better than Herbie Hide, or Corrie Sanders? ****, Floyd Cummings was possibly the best man Green ever defeated.

    That's not what you said. You implied that Lewis needed schooling on what a jab actually was. In all reality, the man had a hell of a good jab. Couple your statement with Mercer being the best man he ever fought, and I wonder if you even know who in the hell you're talking about.

    Tony tucker was 49-1 you imbescille why was he shot he'd lost 1 fight on points to prime mike tyson ff s:patsch add on to that Lewis was the first man to put tucker on his arse.

    That was a better win then mercer for a start so was the 2 round starching of ruddock, how about his 12 round schooling of david tua ?

    He fought the big american hope Grant and exposed him in 2 rounds and underfeated mavoric got soundly beaten. Not forgetting golota coming off his beating up of bowe and was supposed to kill Lewis getting beat in 79 secounds.


    You can twist up any fighters resume to suit it to make them look bad, to suit your own purposes. If lewis chin is as bad as people make out surely tua would of ko'd him, he took flush shots off briggs and laughed.

    He took flush shots off bruno and vitali and mercer these are big punchers and if he didn't have a chin how come he got the W against em.

    You my friend are full of hate :deal

    If Mitch had developed, I could see him beating Lennox.But drugs, and being with Don King, ruined his speed and career.Lennox wins on a lopsided decision, since I don't see him even hurting Mitch.
