Lennox is the Greatest Heavyweight Boxer of All Time

[@notyourfallguydaddyorson6835]

No doubt the best of his era and arguably the best of all time. Lewis was just pretty much drama free compared to other boxers so there was no media spectacle following him like Tyson. He just went in and whooped everyone and avenged his loss in a spectacular way. Plus he's just an all around class act and gentleman. The best for sure. Tyson is more famous and you'll see movies made about him because of the chaos that surrounded his life. Tyson is one of the greats but Lennox is thee best..

[@muhammadisa7361]

Lennox Lewis did come from Canada 🇨🇦 as an Olympian Gold Metalist , and he defeated USA 🇺🇸 boxer Riddick Bow in 1986 Olympic Games and later on became England 🇬🇧 next contender for the WBC and Big Daddy nickname decided to put the title in the bin and Lennox Lewis which he never had a nickname recycled ♻️ it with a controversial through court case and won.

[@oldfrank8250]

I think if Mike Tyson had been in his prime, Tyson could have won too. Tyson had the best punch combinations with the most power. Unfortunately, the death of his two father figures, a tick as a wife, a manager who only exploits and steals from him, as a world champion has caused such a deep fall with the rape accusations and then in prison. Honestly, after all this, no one can tell me otherwise. I think so many blows of fate, breaches of trust, not being able to trust anyone anymore, would have broken many people. Yes, after all these experiences, he started losing. He simply didn't prepare as well, there was less movement in the ring than back then, and even the punches usually didn't have the same power as before. I think that in those five years, Tyson was the best boxer of all time. He listened, learned and fought with his brain. Such a large selection of perfectly executed shots plus his defensive work were simply really, really good at that time, and every shot could be the end immediately. It's a bit like Michael Jordan first Bulls, then WIzzard......

[@antz4870]

The more you watch Lennox the better he gets... These were no fools he was playin with. True class. He talked about the 'sweet science' when I had no idea what he meant. Over the years I've begun to appreciate the gravity of his ability. He really is/was a true master of his craft.

@thefobbie Sorry he was actually around the same age. He didn't fight in the Cus style. Jersey Joe was a cutie. Very slick. Actually Lennox Lewis liked to use a few of Jersey Joe's moves, particularly one where he changes angles, left to right to unbalance his opponant.

[@curtismcneil8695]

He was good but not the greatest. My biggest problem with Lennox was he got knocked out twice in his prime. He would avenge both losses against McCall and Rahman. When he got knocked down he was done. Ali got up, Holmes got up when they were down in their primes and fought back. The Ali from 64 to 74 would have outboxed him. The Larry Holmes from 78 to 83 would have beaten him. Larry had a way better chin. He proved that when he fought McCall shortly after McCall had KO'd Lewis and Larry at 45 years old and way past his prime went 12 with McCall and lost a split decision. He's in the top 5 and yes he would be capable of beating any of the past Champions. I honestly still think his last fight against Vitali Klitschko was one of his most impressive simply because he wasn't at his best that night. He was suppose to fight someone else and Klitschko came in on just a few weeks notice. To fight someone of that level on short notice is unheard of and he did show more heart in that fight and I think he upped his status even more.

Prime Evander would have killed Lewis (who is IMO one of the best to ever do it). But Lewis was smart as hell and knew when to say "I am rich and healthy...I am out".

[@reddvapesadvocates9737]

If I had to pick a GOAT Boxer P4P is Floyd Mayweather I don't like how he fights but he utilizes the Basic Premise of the Science that is Boxing the Science that Cus D'Amato taught all of his fighters "The best most effective punch is thrown when you can hit the opponent solidly and your opponent can't hit you at all " Mayweather always hits when he has the angle and utilizes head movement and footwork to stay in positions where he can't receive damage but he can deliver punches and he picks his shots based on where the punch will place him in relation to his opponent but for Best Heavyweight Boxer of all time I'd have to say #1: Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali #2: Mike Tyson , Evander Holyfield, Joe Louis, Tyson Fury Rocky Marciano, and Jack Dempsey. Anthony Joshua just got the Buster Douglas treatment from Anthony Ruiz but he may still comeback from this defeat and become a Great Champion in the future but right now he hasn't Proven his greatness, and Deontay Wilder though going 42-0 before a draw with Tyson Fury and then a loss to Tyson Fury shortly thereafter so now he's 42-1-1 and out of the first 42 what highly acclaimed Boxer did Deontay Wilder fight for me fighting tomato cans doesn't prove anything but I could be wrong and Deontay Wilder could comeback from his loss to Tyson Fury and become one of the best Heavyweight Boxers of this Era maybe even of all time

[@altuttle5330]

Lennox kept getting better even as he got older. Emanuel Steward was such a great fit for him. My favorite trainer and fighter. Tall, heavy handed, cerebral and technical. Lewis had all the tools. He also took a better shot than people give him credit for being able to take. The shot Rahman hit him with is one of the hardest punches I’ve ever seen and would have probably knocked out most anyone. Lewis also had the sneaky trick of grabbing his opponent by the back of the head and hitting him with that great uppercut. He did it so fast that he rarely was ever admonished by the ref because the ref never saw it. Glad he retired when he did. Was smart enough not to hang on too long. One of the greatest careers in boxing history.

[@Jay-qm8cx]

After Ali I can’t think of any heavyweight that has literally anything! Great jab, powerful right hand, terrifying uppercut, great defence, high ring iQ, good stamina, decent chin and physical attributes (height, weight, reach and speed). I can’t think of a single thing he didn’t have or accomplish.

Lennox's jab is a master class on how great heavyweights should fight in controlling their opponents.

[@8301TheJMan]

The way Hollyfield hung in there while getting beaten to shit, is one one of the toughest things i;ve ever seen a fighter do. Lennox was the most complete fighting in heavyweight history - period! His length, power, quickness/athleticism, and huis high level of skill made him the perfect fighter. To see him just dismantle Hollyfield the way he did, a guy who is also certainty one of the ten greatest heavyweights of all time, is just amazing! Lennox may not be the "greatest" of al time, but there's simply no other heavyweight as good nor as well-rounded as he was in his prime in the mid to late 90's. I also love the immense respect both those two fighters had for one another, it's something i truly wish you'd see more of in combat sports nowadays, unfortunately alot of guys need to convince themselves to hate their opponent, whether it's deserved or not, just to get themselves in the right frame of mind to go in the ring and do battle. Not to mention I've noticed that over the last couple decades the trash talking you see has often progressively worse over the past couple decades, and it's more and more obvious that not only do alot of these guys not like each other, but they obviously don't respect each other as well.

[@andisadler2897]

Name another boxer whom beat everyone he fought? Marciano-too small. Lennox was no1

[@8301TheJMan]

@@andisadler2897 I get what ur saying, but i think number 1 is Joe Lewis, second is Ali, and third is Lennox Lewis. In terms of how good they are, as opposed to how great they are, I think Lennox is hands down the best of all time. He'd annihilate the current elite HW's, guys like Fury, Wilder, AJ, and even Usyk

Lewis had skills, I'm absolutely positive that he could beat my ass even without laying across my back forcing me to either support his weight, as well as mine or drop to the canvas because it'll be awhile before the ref can manage to get him standing back on his own two feet again & again & again,, take a point,,,, & again & again. Are you beginning to get the picture here "Just like a Lewis fan" fan? Lemmy guess, that was all takin out of context,,, I mean, he didn't do that,,,, I mean, that was just a bad camera angle, or what ever your defense of his tactics is because he was a brilliant boxer, a brilliant brilliant boxer! Just brilliant... Brilliant. Bull shit! When he was scared, he didn't even attempt to hide his dirty tactics. He showed no regard for the integrity of the sport.

Lewis was good. He fought what the division had to offer. That said ... I think Vander was 37 when they fought to a draw. Tommy Gun Morrison lacked a chin and stamina. Same with Bruno. Tyson and Tua were arguably past their prime. If you could hit Vitali with a good enough shot ?you could probably knock him out.
