The problem with Lewis is htat he priced himself out of fights. He acutally was gonna fight Boew though, but Mccall KOed him from what I heard so that never happened. As far as "his resume would be better than Alis"....well yeah.....but then would it be better than Alis if Ali never lost to Frazier,Norton or Holmes?
Understand what you mean, but Lewis is one of the rare Boxers to avenge both his defeats. As for Bowe, the Bowe that beat Holyfield in their 1st fight would have been a great fight and a more or less even for me with slight edge to Lenny, Bowe was at his best here, but still had slight doubt after the Olympics final loss. He went downhill after the Holyfield win. Mostly his own fault. Shame for Bowe he should be remembered for his ability and would be in my top 20
I don't think there's a boxer on here whose stock goes up and down as often as Lewis. One week he's a top 3/4 ATG, the next he's top twenty at best.
Some of those fights weren’t makable and certainly had little or nothing to do with Lewis’s own reluctance. And it’s a resume that would only surpass Ali’s if the McCall and Rahman losses didn’t happen
In fairness, I don't recall any clamour or particular interest in any of these fights at the time - bar Bowe, Wlad and perhaps a younger Tyson. I don't think there was much chance of those others happening, which is a game you can play with most fighters. In fairness to Lewis, he had a pretty stacked resume.
lewis isn’t “Easily” beating late 20’s to prime Wladimir Bud. lol He’s actually probably getting caught and Rahmaned. He knew it too The early 90’s Bowe would have a great shot at beating him also. Especially the one from the first two Holyfield fights. We actually would probably see the Bowe that fought Gonzalez against Lewis because there was so much bad blood there. Lewis ISN’T walking through that. lol
Don’t shift the goalpost once your arguments get destroyed lmao, both have embarrassing KO losses, at least Wlad managed to go undefeated in his prime, Lewis got chinned by Rahman during his.
Your argument is trash lol, the goal post is Klitschko got knocked out more times than Lewis, nobody shifted from that, person i replied to already mentioned Rahman goofy Both of them got sparked out, unlike Wlad Lewis beat everyone he faced and is more dynamic than Klitschko skill wise, Fact. Most will bet on Lewis if their life depended on it. You wouldn't be betting on Klitschko no matter how much you want to debate me thats for sure
No, the goalpost was that Wlad got KO’d by Rahman, Purrity and Sanders. So did Lewis against Rahman and McCall. You had a terrible argument as always and you are once again trying to spin out of it by trying to add other stuff you didn’t mention before at all. Now don’t reply to me again.
"No the goalpost was" you're lost Wlad got knocked out THREE times Don't throw rocks from a glass house. You can't mention Lewis getting knocked out by Rahman to prove Klitschko wins when Klitschko literally got knocked out more than Lewis and by the time he lost to Brewster he was already working with Steward, so how about that ? You've got nothing. You'll fail to refute this segment as usual, Wlad has kissed the canvas over TEN TIMES !!! Wlad had 0 offense at close range. Lewis would walk Klitschko down and make him gunshy, Klitschko has no answer once Lewis fires uppercuts in the clinch. Wlad has to land a huge left hook or a right hand before he gets mangled by all the punches in the book
