Lennox Lewis was the greatest heavyweight of the last 40 years and its not even close

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

- Beat Razor Ruddok in his prime
- Beat Ray Mercer in his prime
- Beat Holyfield when he was a 2 time champ AND a belt holder
- Beat Shannon Briggs in his prime
- Beat Andre Golatta in his prime, same dude that beat Riddikk Bowe twice
- Beat Klitschko in his prime
- Beat every fighter he ever faced
- Lennox Lewis was OLDER than Tyson when he faced him. So what does that say about Tyson?


The confused hate for Lennox Lewis never ceases to amaze me

Mike tyson beat razor ruddikk 2 times before lennox fight he was done

Ray mercer wasnt in prime And he won that fight

Holyfied was 37 when he fought lennox

Shannon briggs

And

Andrew golota

Were avg fighters

Klitchsko was controversial at best and lennox didnt want the rematch

Tyson was well past prime when they fought

I mean way past

Lennox resume dont stack up he was good tho

Up and coming but not close to goat

The thing that's tough is despite Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield all fighting each other none of them were in their primes at the same time. Tyson was around 85-89, Holyfield 88-94 and Lewis 95-01

Lewis clearly beat Holyfield in the first fight but Evander gave Lennox all kinds of fits in the second fight. Lewis' style benefited him to be effective in his later years in ways Tyson and Holyfield's couldn't.

He definitely emerged the victor of the three (and Bowe) from that era but prime for prime those matchups are still what ifs as far as I'm concerned

Riddikk Bowe knew after this moment that he was too scared to face Lennox

I thought Lewis was already regarded by boxing experts(not casuals) to be the second greatest hw? or atleast top 3

 

[Piff Huxtable]

the 90s were a weak era of heavyweights?

some people here are smoking crack

90s heavyweights are only second to 70s

matter of fact guys getting ktfo'd in the 90s later held belts in the 2000s/Klitscko era (Briggs, Maskaev)

What was the deal with that McCall mental situation? Dope video tho

What was the deal with that McCall mental situation? Dope video tho

Don King took him out of rehab and straight up put him in the ring against Lennox

 

[patscorpio]

What was the deal with that McCall mental situation? Dope video tho

he was in rehab for drugs...don king for whatever pulled him out of it to face lennox for the vacant belt

and it was a fight where mccall beat himself more than lewis beat him...lewis lands flush shots on mccall and mccall remained clear eyed and upright..lewis did nothing spectacular other than land punches on a fighter who was in no mental condition to fight...it sucks all around
