I think Lennox Lewis is greatest champ ever, whay do you yhink?

Answer 1

I agree with you completely. Lennox Lewis is the greatest champion and the greatest boxer in the history of this sport. First he had an excellent amateur career that he crowned with an Olympic gold medal in 1988, and as a professional he was in my opinion the greatest heavyweight champion ever to step foot in a boxing ring. He defeated every opponent he ever faced in his career (McCall and Rahman by a way of rematch) and he had all the attributes that a perfect heavyweight boxer is supposed to have - starting from basic height, weight and strenght advantage in almost every match to perfect technique, awesome knockout power and most importantly unprecedented boxing talent that he has been showing throughout his career.
Ali, Fraiser, Liston, Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson, Klitschko brothers and so on are all great heavyweight boxing champions but none of them is a match for Lennox in my opinion.

Answer 2

Personally, I think it is pushing it to even say that Lewis was even "one of the greats," yes he retired champion, but I believe one has to take risks to be a great champion, and I feel that Lennox Lewis should have given Vitali Klitschko a rematch. Had Lewis beaten Klitschko, then he would have been "one of the best." However, still far from the greatest.

Answer 3

I think he could be the greatest if the rest of the heavyweight division wasn't a bunch of chumps. I feel bad for Lennox because his greatest challenge was an over the hill Evander Holyfield. Lennox is great but his competition sucked and that is nobody's fault but Don King's.

Answer 4

No, no, no! He's one of the greatest! There are other fighters way better than him. As a heavyweight, he was great. But that's in the heavyweight division. You have from Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez, 51-0-1 (38 KO's), a minimumweight to Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins 47-4-1 (32 KO's); the greatest middleweight ever. There are a lot of boxers in every weight class. And every weight class have their greatest.

Answer 5

once you're saying all time large, then you absolutely could evaluate him with the authentic deal heavyweights. and that i recommend Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Sonny Liston, Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Jack Johnson, Larry Holmes, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey ect. He had a effective proper hand, and a affected human being jab which could provide worry to many warring parties. Many would say that he had the 'complete kit' at the same time as it is composed of a fighter. because of his 'length" many rule out different smaller heavyweights greats in the previous to have a probability adverse to him.although, I see many strategies which a number of his weaknesses will be exploited by ability of the Heavyweight Kings. as far as achivements is going, he were given Knocked out two times, a form of which he replaced into out chilly. those presented questions about his chin. the finest tests in his occupation were Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko. Tyson would lengthy lengthy gone, and theres no element denying it. Tyson replaced into about 10 or so years previous his top, at the same time as Lewis replaced into nevertheless on his A interest. Holyfield replaced into also an elderly fighter, and did not deliver that Warrior Spirit to Lewis. Klitschko replaced into prevailing on the playing cards, and the reduce kept Lewis. He has, although, the respect of having beat all his warring parties he confronted. yet Do i imagine he would have beaten a best Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston, Joe Louis, Larry Holmes or perchance a cushty Mike Tyson for that commemorate. i'd say no longer. although he replaced into between the most appropriate British Boxers of all time, and that i'd rank him round 12 or 13 in ATG heavyweights.

Answer 6

He was getting beaten by Vitali Klitschko until Lewis's corn rolls exacerbated a head butt wound, stopping the fight. Lewis looked pathetic in that fight and quickly retired to prevent a rematch from occurring.

Lennox Lewis is a strong boxer, but he is not the best. If I wanted to take away Lewis's arm length, I would use an old Max Baer (old time boxer) trick .. hit the arms. Lewis would have his arms tucked in more and shorter boxers could come in and punch his body.

Answer 7

Greatest Ever? If you are including all weight classes he is not even in top 10. Only heavyweights, I will give him top 10. Until someone beats the record of my man Rocky Marciano he holds the title of best every heavyweight.

Answer 8

GREATEST CHAMP EVER???? You need to look at Rocky Marciano, 49-0-0, 43ko's, HARDEST punch of all time, NEVER turned down a fight...Only down twice in career..The Brockton Blockbuster trained twice as hard & twice as long as ANYONE......Look him up at Boxrec.com.....LONG LIVE THE ROCK !!!!!!.....RIP ROCKY, You are still the GREATEST, a TRUE LEGEND...........I also believe he could have beaten ALI & Ali was good...........it would have been the GREATEST fight of all time..............I also beleive Rocky Marciano would have ko'd Lennox if they were in the same era

Answer 9

i agree with everyone else greatest champ no, Hes good but greatest hahahaha

Answer 10

He could not hold Mohamed ALI's Jock Strap.....

Or FRAZIER , Norton, Holmes, Forman Or TYSON EITHER
