He was beast until he met klitschko? Hahaha it was his last fight, hes way more skilled than him, u cant compare him with the greathest boxer of all time that won best boxers, Klitschko is not even in top 1000
Lol 😂 tyson was far from his best and a bit of stepping stone 😂 mike in his prime could not be beaten in any era 😂 the more you look back the smaller the heavyweights were, and tyson scared the biggest of em 😂 dont make me laff 😂😂😂😂
Look at the first knock down. It was not a punch that landed. He was frightened and trying to find some where to lay down. He was given a lot of hype that he didn’t buy in to.

Lennox Lewis would have beaten up any of these so-called great heavyweights of this era on his prime. Lennox was a beast and didn't ducked anyone. A true champion.
you are delutional my friend. he ducked everyone . and he was a boring boxer to watch . just like vladimir , exept he didnt duck anyone . but i will agree todays era isent all that
Lewis ducked the top of the HW division for years. He used the WBC to duck Bowe. He waited for Holyfield and Tyson to be washed up. Glass chin, KO’d by two journeyman boxers.
Lewis vs. Bowe= Lewis beat Bowe at the Olympics. Imagine the same thing happening again; Lewis is just a bit better. Tyson vs. Foreman = slugfest This would be the most fun fight ever to watch. Tyson would be favored, but it would not be easy. Lewis vs. Foreman = easy fight for Lewis; keep distance; throw massive bombs on Foreman's face; foreman would actually get destroy here i think, he was too slow to catch Lewis, and Lewis hit really hard. Holyfield vs. Morrisson = Good fight. I still think Holy would win, start with a big slugfest but morrison just don't have the stamina and chin holyfield had. Tyson vs. Bowe: They are actually close friends in real life. Tyson said this so they would never fight. Tyson would win, but big bowe would not be easy to take down, no surprise if end by points.
@@conservativeamber1216no he didn't, his death cert shows he was clear, he died from sepsis , caused by a piece of gauze left in his chest after an operation, which infected. Fact.

Answer is I liked Lewis but Never saw him as A Feirce Exciting Great Boxer He stayed away and let the judges give him points never Hit Hard or fought people when they were in their prime He even ducked Holyfeild for a long time ........so I dont think so but its cool if you think so
@@anthonyraymond2211 They were both intelligent boxers so who knows. Ali only beat Foremen by being smart and Lewis got his revenge on those he lost to, so I am not so sure, also the level of coaching has improved, so quite a few factors.
What are you saying about Holyfield waiting to fight Tyson until he came out of jail. Nonsense Holyfield was the number one contender was calling out Mike and was paid a step aside fees for Buster Douglas to get the shot before him . Do your homework before posting your garbage.
90% of the best fighter's get knocked out by a lucky punch usually that's what does it even Lenix Lexus, Mike Tyson, Tommy Morrison, Evander Holyfield etc, all of them but you can't take anything away from any of them Tommy has 43 knockouts Mike Tyson 44 knockouts Evander Holyfield 29 knockouts George Foreman 68 KOs Ali 37 KOs these great boxers only have very few lost Morrison 3 lost Mike Tyson 6 lost George Foreman 5 lost Mohammad Ali 5 lost so even the best loses even Larry Homes lost 6 times he tried to tie with Rocky Marciano he couldn't carry Rocky's jockstrap.
Tommy should have done much better, he needed to be more aggressive to rattle Lennox & minimize that jab. He boxed with an incorrect strategy all night. He's a much superior boxer then his output in this specific match and well Lennox is Lennox.
Lennox Lewis was legendary boxer of all time. Iron Mike Tyson was so intimidating and scary but Lennox Lewis defeats him by brutal knockout . That proves Lennox Lewis was better than anyone.
Did Lewis ever fight greats in their prime? He caught Tyson on his way out , he caught morris on his way out , caught Tua when his best days were gone. Js
Tyson was 33 when he fought Lewis so kets not play that old washed up card. Mike was just exposed for what he is. He best holyfield and riddick bowe both in their prime and Tommy was hot af up until he met lewis.
@@chuckyrichter4396Tyson already had an entire career before Lewis even turned pro with 36 fights and an undisputed champ before Lewis even had a pro fight. Different eras we are talking about. Holyfield was already an undisputed champion by the time Lewis turned pro. Lewis beat only one champ at their peak.
Just like Roy Jones said, Lewis destroyed Morrison's spirit completely. Such an underrated champion, and Jones Jr. did the only good commentary HBO's ever had.
Even if bum Morrison was in his prime, he would have lost. Tommy was never good to begin with, lmao. He was always a great white hype, praised by white media, and pushing him as the "white Mike Tyson". Bum Morrison fought bums for most of his career, until he encountered ray mercer, & Lennox Lewis. No matter if bum Morrison were in his prime or not, Lennox would have bullied him. Keep in mind, this was before Lennox Lewis learned to use his size to his advantage😂😂😂.
Ummm morrison should have been at the very top of his game here. Tyson was 33 when he fought lewis he was just exposed for the flash in the pan gimmick he always was.
Morrison is tapped out sitting in the corner, and his trainer says that Tommy has to take Lewis into a war. That had to be the last thing Morrison wanted to hear 🤣
Can't fight what you can't see. A good stoppage really. He didn't even move or flinch after that last right. I bet he just didn't see it. He was starting to loose his edge from AIDs at this point. Lewis's fine jab was another problem.
If you're going to beat Lewis, you damn sure don't play chess with him. You don't wait around on the outside & let Lewis control the fight with his jab. He'll set you up for that nasty right hand. You have to change it up. When you're on the inside, you gotta throw FAST. Get under Lewis's skin. Make him trade with you. And, you gotta be NASTY. Lewis uses borderline illegal tactics: pushing & leaning behind the head, grabbing, holding & hitting. You have to counter that. Nobody wins a decision against Lewis. The way to beat him is to hurt him, mug him. His weakness is his chin.
@@holidayeveryday550 Sure he was. See the Art Tucker & Kimmuel Odom fights. At this point tho, Morrison was past his prime and was stuck in the "new style" he used vs. Foreman.
@presence5426 I don't feel Tommy was ever a really skilled in fighter. Certainly has his moments on the inside do to that sledgehammer of a left hook. But never showed the consistent head movement needed to slip punches
Morrison was a shadow of his former self here, reminiscent of when Lewis fought Tyson almost 20 years out of his prime. Lewis was the best either way but beatable like all others.
I hear this all the time Tyson was 20 years past his prime fighting Lewis .. they were both the same age .. when Tyson lost against Douglas at 23 they were saying Tyson was at the end of his career .. fact is Tyson lost against people that out boxed him .. he never lost by a lucky punch .. it was round after round out boxed
@@marshallderriek1858 Tyson's prime was with Rooney. Say whatever you want no heavyweight ever has matched Tyson's combination of speed,quickness,head movement,elusiveness,and power in both hands
@jimk7882 boxing isn't just a physical sport .. its greatest champions also have intelligence and can adapt .. Tyson has the mentality of a 14 year old .. that's why he lost to people who out boxed him .. not those who just threw punches
@@marshallderriek1858 Just because Tyson & Lewis were the same age doesn't mean they hit their primes at the same time. Surely you're capable of understanding that.
I was thinking Tommy needed to box like Tyson against an opponent with a longer reach, but Lennox beat Tyson. Still, boxing a fighter with a longer reach from a distance is guaranteed loss.
Morison is a faded fighter at this point he done to much damage to his body he parted to much his legs are shot,and Lewis was a guy that could could be beat ,but nobody could do it twice.
You have to respect a man who keeps his composure before, during and after he beats the crowd favorite at a venue filled with hostile attendees. And I agree with the comment that, in his prime, Lewis would beat the crap out of the so-called champions since the Klitschko brothers retired.
Nenhum lutador do planeta foi mais contagiante que Tyson,outros lutadores foram campeões mundiais como o caso do Lewis,mas sua lutas nao tinha graça lutas feias e frias sem adrenalina,ganhou muitas mas nunca despertou em mim emoção como o maior de todos Tyson
I remember in an interview after the fight Morrison said he wasn’t impressed with Lewis power. Unfortunately for Tommy, Lewis only needed his jab to win. He was completely outboxed.
If Tommy had been able to discipline himself he could have been a great fighter bar none , he was just to good looking for his own good , he was smothered with women falling over him , and it ended in tragedy , I still can’t get over what happened to him , but I guess it was own fault
Exactly what I was thinking! Very similar styles, just about the same size although Lewis was bigger and more muscular. But Lewis got caught by Rahman and was KO'd; Holmes was caught by Earnie Shavers in the 7th round, was on queer street but rallied to win the fight. I would have liked to see a young George Foreman vs Lewis. THAT would have been something! A real contrast in styles: Ali vs Lewis. I think with Lewis' size, Ali would have had trouble with him.
Didn't Morrison get one rounded by Micheal bent three years earlier?? and then got decapitated by Ray Mercer a few fights earlier, the same Mercer Lewis beat.
Of course Lewis was better but in certain ways, I was surprised about Morrison. First of all, how did this guy make it to the ring? He had issues, a serious narcotic and alcohol addiction problems, We're talking about the hard stuff. He was also probably HIV positive at the time that he fought Lennox Lewis but he officially tested positive 4 months later. He had also used PED's throughout his career which was the only reason that he was able to get in shape. With his lifestyle I do not think that he would be able to get ready if he were PED free. By the way, I am not knocking people who are HIV positive because with today's medicine that can lower a person's viral load to undetectable, it would be positive for a HIV positive person to box even though the boxing federations would probably not allow it.
Sorry you are wrong about the HIV bit, but correct on the drug and alcohol use, Tommy was negative , fact, he di3d of sepsis, look it up and spend a little more time than just google or asking siri. Look up the guy who invented the test kit kary mullis and you will learn a hell of a lot more than just this , esp about a pcr.
Lennox was a tough to box with in the last few rounds tommy should of went ballistic a bit more but hey....easy for us to say that would of been so tough.
SO Tommy was already sick with drugs and alcohol Hiv and HE WENT THE DISTANCE AND DIDNT GET KNOCKED OUT SO if Lewis is SOOOOOOO good as his predecessors and such a badass HARD HITTING BRITISH SENSATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT >>>>>HE DIDNT PROVE IT HERE AGAINST A HANDICAPPED FIGHTER ON HIS WAY OUT OF LIFE ....HE BARELY WON THE FIGHT .....COME ON MAN !!!!!!!
@@lango2502 DID YOU SEE RAHMAN KNOCK LEWIS THE HELL OUT AND WIN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.....AND HE WASNT EVEN a LONG LASTING CHAMP BUT HE KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD SO BIG DEAL ABOUT LENNOX HE WASNT THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT
I think Tommy Morrison could of knocked Lewis out with one massive punch, because his only weakness is he comes out with that left punch and leaves himself open for damage
This was October 1995. Morrison tested positive for HIV in February 1996. That means he already had diseased blood in this fight. Lennox was lucky Morrison didn't bleed on him.
Lewis only beat one dominant champion in their prime and that was Klitschko. Tommy was already in decline, same as Tyson and Holyfield; they were already damaged goods by the time Lewis fought them.

We're talking about the hard stuff.
He was also probably HIV positive at the time that he fought Lennox Lewis but he officially tested positive 4 months later.
He had also used PED's throughout his career which was the only reason that he was able to get in shape. With his lifestyle I do not think that he would be able to get ready if he were PED free.
By the way, I am not knocking people who are HIV positive because with today's medicine that can lower a person's viral load to undetectable, it would be positive for a HIV positive person to box even though the boxing federations would probably not allow it.
Sorry you are wrong about the HIV bit, but correct on the drug and alcohol use, Tommy was negative , fact, he di3d of sepsis, look it up and spend a little more time than just google or asking siri.
Look up the guy who invented the test kit kary mullis and you will learn a hell of a lot more than just this , esp about a pcr.
Well that left jab by Lennox Lewis was irritating that left eye of Tommy Morrison enough and then he was going to throw the right hand.
lewis was the best of the history. nobody remember of this.
Lewis danced with the best a great boxer Tommy as hard as nails and Genuine boxer rip.
Was Tommy sick at this time ?
Young Lenox was good n fast
Master class boxing by Lewis.
Lennox was a tough to box with in the last few rounds tommy should of went ballistic a bit more but hey....easy for us to say that would of been so tough.
That was not the real Tommy.sad to watch.
SO Tommy was already sick with drugs and alcohol Hiv and HE WENT THE DISTANCE AND DIDNT GET KNOCKED OUT SO if Lewis is SOOOOOOO good as his predecessors and such a badass HARD HITTING BRITISH SENSATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT >>>>>HE DIDNT PROVE IT HERE AGAINST A HANDICAPPED FIGHTER ON HIS WAY OUT OF LIFE ....HE BARELY WON THE FIGHT .....COME ON MAN !!!!!!!
Esto da entender que Tommy era una bestia en sus mejores momentos
Did you even watch the fight ?
@@lango2502 DID YOU SEE RAHMAN KNOCK LEWIS THE HELL OUT AND WIN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.....AND HE WASNT EVEN a LONG LASTING CHAMP BUT HE KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD SO BIG DEAL ABOUT LENNOX HE WASNT THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT
@@lango2502 YES BUT DID YOU SEE HASIM RAHMAN KNOCK OUT LENNOX LEWIS COLD AND BEAT HIS BUTT
Those gloves looked so small on large boxers
Post Ali era LL was the greatest
Tommy was ill here bless him
Lewis is a giant.
I think Tommy Morrison could of knocked Lewis out with one massive punch, because his only weakness is he comes out with that left punch and leaves himself open for damage
Lennox - the best!!!
This was October 1995. Morrison tested positive for HIV in February 1996. That means he already had diseased blood in this fight.
Lennox was lucky Morrison didn't bleed on him.
Lewis only beat one dominant champion in their prime and that was Klitschko. Tommy was already in decline, same as Tyson and Holyfield; they were already damaged goods by the time Lewis fought them.
Who is Razor Riddick Bowe that he fought in 1988? The announcer said Lewis fought Razor Rodrick Bowe,
I seriously doubt he was HIV positive at this point, therefore he didn’t have aids.
You don't know shit
Morrison deveria ter treinado melhor e usado uma tatica diferente para enfrentar Lewis.
Muy cierto, y eso de seguro le hubiera favorecido grandemente, porque Morrison es buenazo
@@beto3535 Concordo amigo. Ele lutou de forma muito previsível contra um lutador muito técnico e duro de cair. Mas nesse caso faltou também a perspicácia de seu técnico.
I wished Prime Lewis could fight Prime Tyson Fury. I think Lewis would dominate him
Holyfield was still the best heavyweight of 1990s Era
For someone who has feet flat as a generic pop tart, Lennox Lewis aint no joke in that ring
Võ sỹ đại đỏ rát quá ko dám tấn công bản lĩnh non
Dalam menghadapi Lewix, Tommy Morrison lebih bagus dari Tyson saat bertarung.
