The original Fast Eddie. Hands were crazy fast for a heavyweight.
Quick question... Did he fight at anything other than heavyweight?
yeah i think he fought at CW for a couple of fights...he lost those fights after years at being at heavy just like chris byrd tried to do at 175
eddie was a skilled but small heavy...but near the end of his career he was coming in out of shape

What in the hell....
Lennox Lewis is both bigger and close to the same punching power of George Foreman. I like Frazier, but he would be rag dolled by Lennox Lewis. I don't think people realize the greatness of Lennox Lewis. This is the same guy who neutered David Tua, when he was on a great run with alot of momentum
I have said for decades that had Lennox Lewis fought for USA and won gold, and was American, he would be looked at completely different from the American public

Still won decisively when Tua was on a dominant run, unanimous decision. Sounds like neuteured to me
im not talking what happened in that fight...im talking about tua's dominant run.. after the loss to ike he basically fought a lot of fringe contenders and journeymen..the lone exception was hasim rahman who was boxing his ass up until tua landed a shot after the bell and didnt recoverStill won decisively when Tua was on a dominant run, unanimous decision. Sounds like neuteured to me
