Lennox Lewis 'Champion' (Documentary)

[@truebeliever786]

Exactly, I came to appreciate Lewis after long examination. In the beginning I thought he was an overrated nobody, but when one examines his fights and career closely, he/she would have to conclude that this man was a legend and one of the greatest Heavyweights of all time.

[@truebeliever786]

I honestly have one thing to say. I've been a critic of Lennox Lewis for a long time, but after observing his achievements and extraordinary career, I've come to love the guy and realise that without doubt, he was the greatest heavyweight fighter in his era and one of the best heavyweights of all time, hands down and anyone who disagrees would be stupid...

[@whitehead8725]

Americans were so biased against Lennox Lewis, even when he was beating the shit out of Mike Tyson. Americans can't handle a non-American boxer become champion...

[@SantiagoBernebeu]

Well stated.

I'm from the UK my favourite fighters , Old Chavez Mike Tyon ,Ray Mercer for Heart and Sour ,,Lloyd HoyGain, Hollyfield , Conello Avarez Felix Trinidad ,Manny GGG ,Marvin Hagler, ,Gatti ,Carl Frotch Barrera ,Kirkland Lang .Jack Dempsey etc etc .I'm not a Lewis fan but respect him for being the GOAT ,No bias here

[@briananderson8204]

I think he is the champ,champ !!!

[@humanforfreedom9583]

Never got the credit he deserved, i thimk of him as the British larry Holmesbcause they were similar styles but also larry never git credit he deserved either, lewis is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time easy top 5

[@jordanolsen879]

I agree, though I think Lennox would have had Holmes… just too much power.

[@its_rick_james_bich2575]

There was always a bias against Lennox not being the most exciting fighter. Totally absurd…he had some great knockout wins…so much so he scored the Ring magazine KO of the year on 3 occasions!!

[@maegeri007]

[@its_rick_james_bich2575]

@@maegeri007 Yes, Larry is possibly the most over looked boxer, either him or Ezzard Charles! Larry had arguably the greatest jab ever, moved well and had all the tools of a great champ! He just came into his own during a much over looked era in HW history..probably why he is over looked.

Lennox Lewis is the greatest heavyweight of all time Both Ali and Foreman said it as well and I have them in the top 3

[@bassline1847]

Any one say he ducked or a prime Tyson beats him. Must be a casual fight fan. Mike Tyson's Promoter Don King, paid Lewis approximately 4 mill to step aside so Tyson could challenge Bruno. Know this learn this and never forget. NO GUY TEST!

[@shaunbat5097]

Correct

[@ohbestia627]

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

[@ericgeorge5483]

Lewis is easily a top 5 heavyweight of all time.

[@TheNewras]

I still rememeber you as a amateur fighting for the Canadian heavyweight Championship. We traded a americian Canadian pin that you liked. Peace & long life ....

[@solidcake3401]

don't care what any drunk American says Lennox Lewis is the best heavyweight ever!

[@seanjenkins331]

Everybody knows Lennox is a top 5 all time boxer, he's just not very popular because he was British, Jamaican, quiet, not a talker, a prodigy yet an over achiever. Seems like everybody has something negative to say about him. He's one of the greatest fighters tho

[@aldenunion]

[@buildaconstruction5934]

One of my best friends called me an idiot because of Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson fight. I told him that my champ will beat Lewis will beat him Big it up Lewis! I don't WANT TO WATCH FIGHTS BETWEEN HUMANS ANYMORE because of my Christian knowledge and where these sports started and the reason. When Daniel was cast in the lion's den it was a sporting event. (Paganism)

[@Haxzaw]

...I sparred with him when he went to KCI in Kitchener back in the 80's

[@Haxzaw]

@Sudarshan ara ...power really wasn't a thing it was more about agility/defense, the more you could avoid being hit the more damage you could inflict on your opponent. We were just kids back then, it was before he even started training for the Olympics and even at that time you could see he was destined for greatness.

[@Haxzaw]

@Sudarshan ara ...he was extremely tall for his age and he easily kept others at bay with his jab but he was very skinny then so I couldn't imagine how much power he had in his prime. Power could be defined in many different ways, getting hit by Max Baer, George Foreman or Mike Tyson all have extreme power like being hit by a truck where as being hit by the new breed of fighters Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua or Dillian Whyte are on a whole new level.

[@Haxzaw]

@Sudarshan ara ...I forgot about this til you mentioned power, how about a powerful punch that was hard to defend against Ruddock's "Smash Punch", terrifying. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfTiohqaLaIasU&feature=emb_rel_pause

[@biggstavros5876]

Lewis was too much for him. He broke his spirit

[@safarektal8380]

So, Emanuel Steward thought that Lewis was one the best heavyweights of all time. But average Joe doesn't. Hmmmm.

[@rockyfish3115]

The atomic bull mcall was a great fighter shame about his troubles. Lewis is a all time great arguably no 1 and rip Tommy morrison best left hook in the game and definitely on the roids and nit well when he faced Lewis

[@alberto9145]

Number one lennox!!

[@truebeliever786]

That's right, totally agree... He is a legend... Although one may argue that George Foreman had greater achievements, for example, I consider Foreman's era to be far earlier to that of Lennox...

[@kalaspears6288]

I wish lennox was around now my god this o boys now wouldent even hold a chance to me people talk about tyson tyson at he,s best it would have been better but i still give it to lennox tyson was old when they did get in the ring but i think the out come would have been the same

[@ozgursakarya9297]

İ think he was the best i have ever seen...

[@ryang790]

I don't think Lennox should be rated as the greatest heavyweight of all time like what alot of people think but if you took ALL the heavyweights in history and pitted them against each other at their peak, then I think Lennox Lewis would come out on top.

[@benbob9561]

Ryan G here here well said

[@stevens5541]

Ryan G ....that doesn't make any sense.

[@ryang790]

I think what happened here Ben was Lewis's fights before the Mcall fight were not actually that bad. I think the American media hated A non American being the champ so they went way over the top in being unfairly criticized which made Lennox kind of second guess himself. Here he is fighting totally the wrong fight actually coming FOWARDS!! He shouldnt have lsten to the American media about Not being aggressive enough. This Combined with a dubious trainer with bizarre instructions i wouldnt be suprised if he wasnt a plant!!

[@colincampbell7928]

I had this on VHS when I was a kid. That Maloney is a weird biscuit, I never saw that coming.

[@Daness74]

Lennox had that calm Nature and a good disciplined boxing style I realy learned to enjoy with him by watching! Before I noticed him not a lot and now I have to watch evry fight he've stepped on!! And he did almost every fight very well - he deserve his success!! Gentle Boxer, nice to watch - stay well Lenn !!👍🤞☮🏆📈😎😘🐞 ps: and what a big dude, awesome reach !👌 psps: and I never saw an boxer acting that dumb as he recognize thin air like Oliver Mccall.!
