I'm a Riddick Bowe fan but have to admit, Lewis had a powerful right. If relesed at full power, could do damage.

[@donavonhoward114]

Lewis could also swell his opponents eyes up pretty quickly with his jab peppering them over and over and over round after round. He would establish a rhythm with the jab, get his opponent to start anticipating it, and then break his rhythm and nail them with the 1-2 combo to the chin. He also had a devastating right uppercut, especially when he would fight on the inside. The biggest difference between Bowe and Lennox was that Lennox was a mover as well. He wasn't just flat footed all the time.

[@daneoman1000]

Nah he had a Jab that was one of the best, like a sniper rifle and good accuracy and technical counter punches. His cross was average for heavyweights

I like the way Lennox Lewis speaks with that soft spoken british/jamacan voice. Seeing him in his prime was scary. He has the height, weight, and power. With Jamaica dreadlock looked more intimidating. Looked like the king of the Jungle Lion. Just found out about the meaning of the Jamican dreadlock hairstyle. First appeared in Jamaica during the post emancipation. It was a means of defiance for ex-slaves to rebel against Euro-centrism that was forced on them. I never knew that. That explains the intimidating look for Lennox Lewis. His height, weight, power with the Dreadlocks gave him a frightening, overawing, and threatening effect in the Ring. Which he could also back up with his fighting boxing skills. That look alone would intimidate the competition into thinking they didn't have a chance at winning the fight..

Everyone talks about how lucky he was that the Vitali fight was stopped on cuts. But I had that fight even at the stoppage. And Lennox was coming on more and more.

FRIENDS THE MERCER VS LEWIS FIGHT HAS BEEN A GREAT FIGHT AND ALSO VERY DEBATABLE OR DEBATED BECAUSE OF THE DECISION WHICH.. HMMMM WELL UNFORTUNATELY WENT IN FAVOR OF LEWIS, NOW UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE MERCER REALLY FOUGHT LIKE A LION, HE. DESERVED ATLEAST A DRAW, REMEMBER NO ONE EXCEPT KLITCHKOV CAME CLOSE TO DEFEAT LENNOX (NOT BY A KO BUT A DISTANCE FIGHT OTHER THAN MERCER).. I PERSONALALLY FEEL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THAT BOUT WAS BEING A BULLY AS THE CHAMP HIMSELF SAID IN THE INTERVIEW, A MAGNIFICENT BANGER LIKE MERCER A HARD HITTING DURABLE FIGHTER AND THAN COMPARE THESE QUALITIES TO A INTELLIGENT, THINKING, TEXT BOOK COMBINATION PUNCHING FIGHTER EXAMPLE (S. R. ROBINSON, MOHAMMED ALI TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, HOLYFIELD, BOWE, FRANK BRUNO ETC).. THE JUDGES CHOICE WAS QUITE CLEAR IT WAS EDUCATION, TEXT BOOK MORE THAN STREET FIGHT VOILENCE.. IN BOXING BOOKS. WELL MR LEWIS WON THAT WHICH HAS PERPLEXED MANY INCLUDING ME BUT YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW IT HAS BEEN OVER THE YEARS, NOT THE ONLY ONE THE OTHER FIGHT I REMEMBER IS A FORGOTTEN, UNDERRATED BOUT BETWEEN (MR GEORGE FOREMAN VS ALEX SCHULTZ).. NOW AGAIN I THINK AGAINST ONE OF A KIND THE BEST IN BOXING HISTORY, GEORGE FOREMAN GOING DISTANCE MEANING 12 AND NOT 10 ROUNDS FOR A RELATIVELY SMALLER FIGHTER WHERE MANY INCLUDING GREATS LIKE MR COONEY, COOPER, MOORER SUCCUMBED THIS MAN SCHULTZ JUST RUBBISHED THAT NOTION OF CAN'T GO DISTANCE WITH BIG GEORGE.. BUT AGAIN THE BOUT WAS HANDED OVER TO BIG GEORGE FOREMAN (JUDGES AGAIN MOST PROBABLY FELT THE SAME WAY AS THEY FELT IN THE LEWIS & MERCER BOUT).. THE COMBINATIONS AND DURABILITY FACTOR DESPITE AGE FELL IN PLACE FOR BIG GEORGE FOREMAN AND UNFORTUNATELY THE YOUNG SCHULTZ HIS DYNAMIC, FLAMBOYANCE, HIS ABILITY TO RUN AROUND BUY ROUNDS, LAND SOME SCORE SOME AND HANG AROUND TILL 12 ROUNDS DIDN'T ENTICE THE JUDGES IMAGINATION OR INTREST!!

@@MRRizwan8074 age old adage in boxing: a good big man will always beat a good little man. lewis's physical advantages at 6'5" coupled with emanual stewards guidance made him too big and too smart. lennox was 37 mike was a year younger at 36 when they fought. so there was NO age advantage. even if they fought 10-15 years earlier the physics work out the same. bigger good beats little good theyd just be younger and faster at it. added to that, lewis could fight on the back foot and wait for you to bring it so he could counter. with his reach he could pick off mike before he got inside. stop being a fan boy. it makes you stupid.

Sir, I agree with your logic that a good bigger man beats a good smaller man. Respect! All I am saying is that Holyfield was a warrior in his mentality. Because of this mentality he took too many hits and his career was short lived. Holyfield that fought George Forman would have beat Lennox. My reasoning is that Lennox didn’t have the same mentality (strength). Tyson was close in age but was already spent because of his lifestyle. Again, short career in prime. Tyson that was with Kevin Rooney (prior to Don King) would have beaten Lennox. This is just my hypothesis. Much respect to Kronks Gym and late Emanuel Steward. He definitely was an asset to Lennox. I just found Holyfield to be an outstanding in heart, determination, skill, and being humble.

a prime George Foreman vs Lewis would have been a great fight. Foreman was a beast, but his trainer was not as good as Steward, thus Foreman would go rounds at a time without using his jab, and he'd throw more wild types of punches. Old George could not have beaten Lewis though. Old George was still very strong, but not enough speed.
