Lewis always had class.

Tommy was never in this fight. He had no fire, just stood there at arms ;length eating jabs. Drugs, illness, I don't know but he wasn't the fighter he had been.

[@Winterwood768-yx9kx]

To be fair to Lennox, Morrison did say at the end "No excuses, Lennox was the better man tonight". I think Morrison met a VERY good version of Lennox Lewis that night. Certainly a better version of Lewis than Mason, Bruno Tucker & Oliver McCall faced in the years before this, and Morrison was as good as any of those guys.

How big are them boxing gloves? Or I should say how small are they?

Nix the sound effects please.

His best days we're over.

Yeah maybe but so were everybody’s when they met Lewis .. he beat all the best .. everyone … just wish big daddy Bowe had met him … it’s that what if ?

[@Winterwood768-yx9kx]

@@johnanderson2419 I think back in 1993 Lennox would have stopped Bowe, as long as Lennox did not allow himself to get caught on the chin like he did against Oliver McCall. Bowe clearly was overwhelmed by Lennox's big bombs when they fought in the Olympics.

Morrisson was so roided out
