Ring Magazine fighter of the year............

I tought he got it in 99 , just from memory though , am i wrong? I'll check it

 

Nar , i was wrong , dohh!!!

 

Lewis disnt really get appreciated until 10 years later. It happens to all ATG's. Marciano wasnt seen as that good in his time. Now hes a top 5 ATG HW

 

Wouldnt say it hapens to all ATGs, its happend a lot though. Ezzard Charles was a massive example. Not sure if it happend on a large scale to Lewis though, other fighters achieved a lot in those years he was in contention for FOTY

 

What year do you think he should have won?

 

It's hard to truly appreciate a fighter til their gone.
