Re-examining The Record of Lennox Claudius Lewis - Is The Lion Being Overrated?

Paci - OW was leading on the cards in JMM 4 then BANG KTFO.:rofl:rofl:rofl:

Duran was leading Hagler on the cards after 12 rounds.

Botha was leading on all the cards against Tyson.

So your point is?

Your feeble excuse about Lewis' laces is just that feeble and lies. At least try to be original, like another idiot on a forum who claimed it was Lennox dreadlocks that caused the cuts.:roll:

 

Lewis and Klitchko were scheduled to meet in December 2003, because he was #1 contender for Lewis' WBC belt. Lewis was due to fight Johnson in June with Klitchko on the undercard. Johnson got injured so with less than 2 weeks notice Lewis agreed to fight Vitali then instead of December.

Those are the facts, they are not the opinions of revisionist fan boys like those on here who mouth off about Lewis only to make themselves look like fvcking idiots.

Similarly it also a fact that Lewis beat EVERY man he EVER faced, no matter how much these muppets wish that were NOT the case.

 

so you post a video where you clearly see the glove hitting and not the laces as you claim to prove your point? i thought you were a good poster before this but now you lose all your credibility.

 

I was always a great believer in Lennox and his achievements...H2H he just seems to measure up really well. However, the one thing that started to give me pause for thought was when I re-watched the Bruno fight recently.

I was a kid when it was originally broadcast, and was rooting for Bruno, so all I really remembered was Lewis KO'ing Frank...but re-watching it I was amazed to see Bruno out-boxing and out-fighting Lewis for much of the fight. I believe that he was ahead at the time of stoppage too.

For a 'pugilist specialist' such as Lewis to be out boxed by Bruno really surprised me - and of course Lewis won the fight and all credit to him - but it did make me wonder if he really is as good as I had always believed :think

 

I know you as a knowlegable poster, please don't say that **** that Holyfield avoided Lewis at any point of his career. So, you want to say that prime Holyfield avoided pre-Steward Lewis, but the old one didn't avoid matured, experienced, better version of Lennox? That's simply not true.

 

lewis got outjabbed by bruno.................

 

You're a fantasist and a groupie. If Wlad had the resume of Lewis I can only imagine how hard you'd be riding his nuts. Disgraceful post.

 

Your point being? Bruno was a very good HW who would be right at the top of the food chain in todays era.

 

What part of there is NOTHING in that clip to show Klitchko being cut by Lewis laces can't you understand? Did Vitali claim at the time he was fouled, or cut by the laces on Lewis' gloves?

There is no mention here of cuts caused by ANYTHING other than legitimate punches.

Lewis entered the ring at a career high 256½ pounds. Lewis was dominated in the early rounds and was wobbled in round two by solid Klitschko punches. Lewis opened a cut above Klitschko's eye with a right cross in the third round and gave a better showing from the fourth round onwards, with both fighters looking tired. Before the start of round seven the doctor advised that the fight should be stopped because of a severe cut above Klitschko's left eye, awarding Lewis victory by TKO. Klitschko was leading 58–56 on all three judges' scorecards when the fight was stopped.

Interviewed about the fight by HBO, doctor Paul Wallace explained his decision:

"When he raised his head up, his upper eyelid covered his field of vision. At that point I had no other option but to stop the fight. If he had to move his head to see me, there was no way he could defend his way against a punch."

Klitschko's face required sixty stitches.

Because Klitschko had fought so bravely against Lewis, boxing fans soon began calling for a rematch. The WBC agreed, and kept the Ukrainian as its No. 1 contender. Lewis initially was in favour of a rematch:

First ten seconds of round 3 Lewis clearly hits Vitali with a right hand shot that lands cleanly and cuts him OVER the eye. Not one fvcking word from the commentary team saying the punch was anything other than legitimate.

Try another way of saying Lewis was lucky, because that one failed miserably.

 

Bruno would kill wlad and give vitali a good contest.

 

Maybe Lewis thought that legitimately stopping vitali spoke for itself as well. Scoring a win while trailing on the scorecards doesn't devalue the actual win.

 

Frank Bruno was his 24th fight. I think you will find the silly self christened " pugilist specialist " name came a lot later, after he had been with Manny Steward for a couple of years.

 

The enlarged parts are a contradiction in terms, as FACTS can't be argued with.

It is merely your opinion that he lost to Holyfield. Some might say he knew he had already been cheated by one Murican judge in the first fight, so just went through the motions in the second for the money, and put the onus on Holyfield to actually win.

I'd love to know which drug a man can be given that makes him look exactly like a rabbit caught in headlights, the way Golota did. His eyes were crazed with pure fear.
