Hey guys, I am happy to announce that my channel has been re-monetized and my videos will gradually be available once again. In time I will be able to upload consistently and take in request as I used to do. Thanks guys and keep punching!
Lennox has my total respect as a boxer, he looked good, had style, speed, power, lethal combinations, boxing brains, didn't avoid anybody and a credit to the sport outside of the ring; one of the 'very' best of all time, so far as I'm concerned.
Probably the most accurate HW puncher ever. With one of the best jabs and one of the highest ring iq ever. This combined with his nearly perfect physical stature and last but not least - devastating power and you have a fighter that could've pose a very serious threat to even the heavyweight monsters of 60's and 70's era.
Lewis received less damage than all his rivals,beat all his rivals, is in better health today than all his rivals and doesn't need to come back financially like all his rivals.That is the dream career for any fighter.
+Da Author Lewis is not underrated. A lot of people who watch boxing rank him in top 5 or even right behind Ali. He might be underrated among casual audience though.
He has an ugly boxing style, so he was not to popular in the U.S. Fighters like Ali spoiled the American boxing world by always looking good while winning.
naw listonnis. Lennox got his flowers till this day. liston got that belt alone,conquered the division alone and died alone. that shit is sad. only thing people talk about is how ali best em.
Drunk on the past. I think their quite equally matched. Would be a great fight. Ppl wont appreciate aj until he retires. After he beats fury and usyk/joyce I reckon comments like this will fade away.
@@drewowings2515 Tyson paid him 4 million dollars to step aside to be able to fight Holyfield with the winner fightng Lewis next. Hostory tells us what happened to that arrangement.
Fun fact: After moving to reunite with his mum in Canada his school sent him to a boxing gym because the school bullies were bullying him because of his London accent and they were running out of school bullies for Lennox to beat the living tar out of.
Thanks for this, I watched most of Lennox's fights by staying up into the early hours (UK). An outstanding boxer who you could have nothing but respect for :)
Hey do you remember the first Rahman fight was on BBC 2 or something at 3 in the morning. I must have been about 10 to 12 years olds. That was the first fight I ever stayed up for man, memories. Class fighter Lewis.
@@lewisglegend that 2nd was a brutal correction. He proved he slipped up and that he werent a one trick pony or an illusion like some other fighters. Always backed up what he said.
@@1976istivan but wasnt there the controverse of no fights against great Boxers because his communist leader(f.castro)wont allow to earn money with him?
He will always be under-appreciated...........the guy was phenomenal! His uppercuts were murderous and that right hand wow. The only sad part is he never got to smash Bowe.
Your spot on he will never get the credit he deserves there's always that Tyson weren't in his prime argument but Lewis is older than Tyson and weren't in his prime either!
+billy giles plus you guys need to watch the Lennox Lewis documentary here on youtube where it says that Tyson and Lewis were actually sparring partners as young boxers and Tyson won only their first encounter by overwhelming Lewis with his animal ferocity, after that it was all Lewis. That's probably why Tyson avoided him like the plague ever since.
+billy giles it was always a lose lose for Lewis, except financially. Don king paid Lewis 5 million at the beginning of their careers to stay 'our side of the Atlantic '. only heavyweight to defeat every man he ever fought
+Matthew Clingan you're right, he was under-appreciatd because he was more simply and low profile cmparing with tyson holyfield that sometimes make the show just to please audience.
Lennox was one of the most exciting boxers in my generation. Heavy Weight Boxing hasn't been the same ever since. He had the charisma and the punch. I could never forget when he said he will rename Hasim Rockman to Hasbeen Rockman. Classic!
Astonishingly skilled heavyweight. He had the full armoury, just like Holmes and Ali- no one since his retirement gets near to his fighting ability. That Razor Ruddock fight was really when people realized this guy is the real deal( I remember many observers at the time remarked it was too dangerous a fight for Lennox). He could box and fight and had a devastating punch. Will be remembered as one of the greats of any era.
@Austin Lerner he did have a good chin. Not Mercer or McCall caliber but a notch down. He did prove his chin with Mercer, Briggs, Bruno, etc. He was never knocked down apart from his two defeats which both involved a "bomb" surprise punch and in the case of McCall's 1st fight I think he could have even continued (IMO a premature stoppage).
@@oldboy5001 he had a bad chin. When he got clocked his hands would drop straight away and he was KO on his feet. He just didn't go down. A good chin is taking punches without being knocked out. Tbh it's the worst combination for him getting hurt more
@@Ben-xf1ym no that's not a good chin. A good chin is taking a good punch and not being affected by it, and being able to continue fighting. If you drop your hands, don't defend yourself and just wait to be knocked out. That's not a good chin lol.
"I'm the superior fighter.." - My Favorite Boxer. I smile every time I see these KOs. Lewis makes me proud to have been a boxer... There won't be any like him. 🗡️🛡️
The last one of the greatest heavyweights, absolute savage when others tried to go toe to toe with him as you can see he was brutal with the speed of a super middle weight and the best jab ever seen in the ring by splitting their faces open. Strong, fearless, he was complete package! and the way he conducts himself outside of boxing gets my vote. None of the current heavyweights are fit to lace his boots and would not have seen past 4 rounds with him. Thanks for the memories of lots of your fights Lennox the Lion and your dedication in the ring.
I really believe Lewis is one of the best heavyweights ever and it's such a shame Americans don't think much of him because of the tyson fight,Lewis is soooo underated I hope one day he will be remembered and gets the credit he deserves
The “Americans don’t think much of Lewis” is and has always been projection by the Brits. The Brits thought nothing of Lewis for a long time. Having fought for Canada in the Olympics, he wasn’t considered a real Brit and had to play second fiddle to Bruno. It wasn’t until Lewis beat Bruno that the Brits started liking him, realizing he was their only chance of getting the unified heavyweight belt back to England for the first time in 100 years.
Звери бывают разные а каком звери имеешь ввиду тигром его назвать можно было если в этом эпохе не было бы Рахман ты хоть видел его бой с Рахманом Рахман чуть не убил его не убил
Lennox Lewis was a great heavyweight. One of the best of all time. There is no doubt about that. Everyone will have their own opinions as to who was the 'greatest' from Louis to Ali and Lennox and many more in the future. But one thing is for sure, Lennox Lewis was an all time great. 100%.
Lennox Lewis one of the best Heavyweights ever and the only British fighter ever in any weight in history to have 20+ plus fights in the USA and never lose one there. A travesty this guy has never been knighted.
He's not underrated by people who know the truth and what they're actually talking about. The Americans couldn't stand him being a Brit and him being better than any of their offerings.
Lennox was one of the most versatile fighters of all time. He could beat you in so many ways. A great all a-rounder. He could jab, he could counter, he could defend, and he could beat you with his feet. He was like a Honda motorcycle, not great at any particular thing, but good at everything, and very reliable. My personal all time great.
+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) actually he used to put up some great combinations for a hw. He is my goat too (which can't be compared to a honda, the latter being too boring in comparison).
I looked at that fight live. Best knockout I have ever seen. He said he would rename him Hasbeen Rahman and he did just that. Rahman was getting a lot of fame after winning the first fight.
Agreed, and I also liked the beating he gave Golatta. I watched that live and the look on Andrew’s face after that first knock down is something that I’ll never forget.
On the second knockout, I love how Briggs is hitting him with loads of punches, then Lennox just smiles like he was being tickled, then goes to drop him
Yeah, that was a great moment. He scared and demoralized Briggs with that smile. I don;t think Briggs connected very solidly with his punches though. Most were avoided or glancing.
Yes, no-one had a winning record against him in his pro career. Should be much more highly rated in USA. Easily among the best heavyweights, with Ali, Louis, Marciano, Johnson, Foreman, Holmes, Dempsey., and clearly the best of the last few decades.
@@flavio7180 yeah, and the 2nd fight was much closer to a draw then the first and they gave Lennox a unanimous decision? Not saying it was a draw, just that if either one was gonna be considered a draw it should've been the 2nd fight! I was still a teen at the time still old enough to realize boxing is corrupt.
Jill Conner Yeah I guess if they called the 2nd fight a draw people wouldn’t have reacted that angrily at the decision, although Lewis definitely won imo.
hey the only draw match is vs evander holyfield right?that was so obvious that its his win,holyfield aint the same vs tyson,so his punch cant deal much damage to much younger and all power lennox that time,unless the real deal is as bomb as George Foreman
Concordo. Mas nas relações que fazem, dos melhores, ele não figura sequer como o vigésimo. Em minha opinião ele foi o melhor de todos. Ele Rock Marciano. Todos os outros, inclusive Ali, devem vir após ele. Simples assim.
I can see why Riddick Bowe was shitscared of Lewis and avoided him his entire career. Lewis handed him his ass in the Olympics and would have done the same as a pro. Bowe only won against Golota because of disqualifications and Lewis destroyed Golota in less than a round. Much respect for Holyfield who fought Lewis 2 times.
Lennox Lewis one of the greatest heavyweights all time I read people saying he was underrated????? How can anyone underrate lewis he's in top 5 greatest fighters of all time 👊💤
I'm American, and I think Lennox was probably the best in his Era worldwide, I think most Americans think he's underrated because he wasn't an American fighter... but respect is due.
Definitely one of the greats! You can't argue the Lion had his reign for years. True 2 handed boxer in a division of power punchers. He lit it up in true boxing fashion
@@goran9139 too much dreaming maybe u not watch, tyson match before against Evander hollyfield.. Hollyfield do a shit strategy to beat mike, but lennox fight mike like a man by trading punches.. Fyi when lennox vs mike it was nearly end of their both carriers, the different thing is when retire lennox still hold title of world championship and mike retire coz he become a looser coz has so many defeat by others boxer
@@goran9139 Lewis was a late starter in his career, even Mike was one year younger than him, he was at his peak 15 years before this fight. The prison time took away his speed and agility.
@@Yendriarifianto Iron Mike was never the same after he went to prison, he lost his fire and took fights for money b'kuz he had a big name, and what ppl don't know he was on meds when he fought Lewis, once Mike said he'll eat his children Lewis said he's not fighting him unless he takes his medication
This guy was an extremely powerful animal. I think he was at least the punch of all times. Really after Mike Tyson, who was also a very strong boxer my favourite is Lennox Lewis...!! Talented and powerful. Special boxing skills and he just murdered all the towers of boxing in his prime.... but he wasn't that famous like some others....!! Respect ..!!
Luis Lopez:Holyfield would have ,and lets be honest most fighters ,good fighters out of shape or not would not have got caught by that punch Rahman was slow as shit foot wise ,when lewis was crap he was crap!
Yeah, a lot of people try to cut his chin down because of the Rahman fight, yet they don't look at the fight itself. Rahman was a big dude with a lot of power, he trained his ass off, and showed up to that fight the best he ever was in his career. Every good champ has that one night, that was his. A dude that big and strong can drop anybody if they get the opening.
Right up there with the greatest heavyweights of all time....His record speaks for itself 44 wins 2 loses and a draw and those loses and draw where all later avenged with decisive wins...
Greatest boxer of the hands down 2nd greatest heavyweight era ever. He has to be consider among the absolute best to ever lace'em up. He was deprived of a win vs Bowe who pathetically ducked him, and possibly against young Tyson if he never went to jail. His reign truly could have been even more epic.
john richards no it doesn't, idiot. Anyone with a high level of intelligence can tell when someone isn't intelligent. Takes one to know one. I'm smart and I can tell that you're not.
Such a great boxer and sportsman, I genuinely believe I have never watched a better heavyweight. I have never understood why he is not one of the first names pull out of the hat when they they debate the greatest heavyweight of all time.
+Bledar Koci He hit Rahman that hard because he never cleaned Lennox's belt whilst being a 5 min champ holder, lol...Really tho, Lewis was reported saying to Rahman, look after my belt as they're on loan to you.....meaning, clean them! lol
Onestly, Bruno was a tank, he had an incredible chin. Look at the punishment that he took against Lennox and Tyson: he was always staggered hard but he never fell. True warrior
Bruno really didn't lack for bravery, but I can't watch that fight without getting angry at the referee. Bruno was dead on his feet, and the stupid ref let the fight carry on. It's how boxers suffer permanent damage.
Lewis was hurt, but was pissed off as well. Imagine you've caught someone with a great punch , they then they slip all your next 4 punches, smile at you and then hit you with massive shots which knock you down. Talk about disheartening. This moment showed Lewis could take a punch and was a stone cold killer in the ring. My favourite Lewis moment. It was awesome to watch live in the early hours on Sky. My Dad and I were on the edge of our seats! Can't believe it's 23 years ago! Briggs was game though. Great performance from him.
@@Jimbo8012 Lewis was hit, not necessarily hurt, he's a boxer, getting hit is part of the job. I've been involved in combat sports since I was 8, and if I hit someone, and they dropped their guard, advanced on me, and casually delivered some hard punches, I wouldn't think that I had hurt them. His "anger" could have been at himself for letting the shot through. The fact is I watched this whole fight with my dad, and we both felt like the American commentators were watching a different fight. This is actually common for brit fighters fighting American opponents in the US.
It's a rarity to see such a big man who is also so athletic. You don't generally see 6'6", 250 pound fighters who are as explosive as Lewis was. And his right cross could knock down a building.

You have an awesome boxing channel man, I really love your videos. You and Editinking are the bests in the business.
Thanks. I'm all adither.
And he was one of the greatest!
no one cares we are simply here to watch shit. your financial situation is no concern of anyones
What does demonetize mean
He could fight, he could boxe, he could brawl. He was big strong skilled. He was a Warrior and a Gentleman. And the best HW I've ever seen
I really like prime Larry Holmes but Lennox was phenomenal and so fun to watch.
The Best you ever seen? 😂😂😂
Then you seen no one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Blind Fanboy
What about Foreman? He thought Lewis was top 3 HW all time. He's seen no one too I guess, you joke of a man
for sure, lewis is one of the most underated HW of all time and experts all over the world say, that he is one of the best ever
He was definitely underrated.
What a career...true champ, miss this era for boxing
i feel like lennox doesn’t get enough mainstream recognition as one of (if not) the greatest ever.
he wasnt american. case closed
Lennox is the 🐐
I never realized just how dominant he was in any era one of the best heavy weights ever
Boxers were scared of him, even before the fight begins.
@Chetan Sharma Tyson was scared of punching him hard. It looks clear. The only one who fighted hard him was Ray Mercer
@@pjetermustakuqipietro307 😂😂😂
He was a monster. Excellent technique, patient, and power when it was time to use it.
He is one of the best heavyweight boxer of all time. Defeated all the best of his time
Lennox has my total respect as a boxer, he looked good, had style, speed, power, lethal combinations, boxing brains, didn't avoid anybody and a credit to the sport outside of the ring; one of the 'very' best of all time, so far as I'm concerned.
Somehow, I didn’t have enough appreciation for Lennox at the time but, looking back at his career and highlights you see how phenomenal he was.
Same here, I had a bad habit of downplaying his performance. These knockouts look lethal
Lewis’ offensive arsenal is beyond impressive. Such a beautiful set of skills for a heavyweight.
Probably the most accurate HW puncher ever. With one of the best jabs and one of the highest ring iq ever. This combined with his nearly perfect physical stature and last but not least - devastating power and you have a fighter that could've pose a very serious threat to even the heavyweight monsters of 60's and 70's era.
Absolutely. That Rahman knockout what so satisfying!! Ahh.
Probably the biggest fraud heavyweight ever struggled against low quality opposition
No matter how fluke it was. Good thing Lewis returned the favor of knocking out Rahman cold in the rematch. So satisfying too!
Only Holmes had his level of ring iq

He beat everyone but Bowe but only because Bowe was scared of him. Which is a shame because Bowe would've been his toughest fight.
My all time favorite fighter. He was really the 1st 21st century heavyweight, a generation early. Big, athletic, cerebral, with titanic power.
Excellent comment. Would have been an interesting contrast in styles matching Lewis against Fury, I think.

Indeed. Lennox was an incredible boxer. Had all the tools. And delivered!

Love him or hate him, pound for pound was one of the greats.
Lennox and Joe best
Under rated champ. If you hate him you dont know boxing. He was in some awesome fights.
Tyson hit hard but Lewis could deliver power from any range or angle, at any speed.

Lennox was one of the most versatile fighters of all time. He could beat you in so many ways. A great all a-rounder. He could jab, he could counter, he could defend, and he could beat you with his feet.
He was like a Honda motorcycle, not great at any particular thing, but good at everything, and very reliable.
My personal all time great.
+Lynx Star Automotive (Gabe V) actually he used to put up some great combinations for a hw. He is my goat too (which can't be compared to a honda, the latter being too boring in comparison).
C_R_O_M__________ Well then like an early Ford. Not the most exciting, but one of the most competent.
l ie
That 1-2 he gave Rahman is still one of the best I have ever seen.
Agreed right on the button with Lennox's power no one is getting up
I looked at that fight live. Best knockout I have ever seen. He said he would rename him Hasbeen Rahman and he did just that. Rahman was getting a lot of fame after winning the first fight.
Agreed, and I also liked the beating he gave Golatta. I watched that live and the look on Andrew’s face after that first knock down is something that I’ll never forget.
@@deihmos Rahman was finished after that or no ?
Was funny when Lennox says bring your sister 🤣🤣🤣🤣
By far the best ever
On the second knockout, I love how Briggs is hitting him with loads of punches, then Lennox just smiles like he was being tickled, then goes to drop him
nootus 🔥
Lewis did the same with Tucker, proper Rocky III
Yeah, that was a great moment. He scared and demoralized Briggs with that smile. I don;t think Briggs connected very solidly with his punches though. Most were avoided or glancing.
And briggs was tough as hell with a strong chin and he could punch hard too, lewis just walked through him...!!!!
Briggs is pushover.. He get demolished by post prime Vitali
Surely one of the greatest!
Yes, no-one had a winning record against him in his pro career. Should be much more highly rated in USA. Easily among the best heavyweights, with Ali, Louis, Marciano, Johnson, Foreman, Holmes, Dempsey., and clearly the best of the last few decades.
+mizofan very true, he's top 5 for sure.
He didn't shy away from any fight, even Tyson agreed
O dio Lewis c du lourd impressionant personne l a mis ko🏃si vous le rencontrer parte en courant🏃...
Yes, I think so - difficult to compare fighters from different eras but probably the best of his generation.
best of his generation
He was just so good and I think some people forget he’s definitely in my top 5 of all time heavyweight boxers maybe top 3.
Lennox is. Great champion and a real pro
Doing Canada and the UK proud! Lennox our Boxing Champion forever!
He only lost 2 fights and a draw ! In the heavyweight division in 15 years. And won the rematch for all 3!
Jill Conner Not to mention the draw was a win if you’re a real boxing fan. Such a beast this man was.
@@flavio7180 yeah, and the 2nd fight was much closer to a draw then the first and they gave Lennox a unanimous decision? Not saying it was a draw, just that if either one was gonna be considered a draw it should've been the 2nd fight! I was still a teen at the time still old enough to realize boxing is corrupt.
Jill Conner Yeah I guess if they called the 2nd fight a draw people wouldn’t have reacted that angrily at the decision, although Lewis definitely won imo.
hey the only draw match is vs evander holyfield right?that was so obvious that its his win,holyfield aint the same vs tyson,so his punch cant deal much damage to much younger and all power lennox that time,unless the real deal is as bomb as George Foreman
Cuz he is da man!
The true Champion of great era of boxing. The Legend of my times.
Among the best of all time. A great dignified champion. Real character
Yep the greatest heavyweight of all time Lenox Lewis, in my eyes and every good pro boxer I've ever met agrees.
Concordo. Mas nas relações que fazem, dos melhores, ele não figura sequer como o vigésimo. Em minha opinião ele foi o melhor de todos. Ele Rock Marciano. Todos os outros, inclusive Ali, devem vir após ele. Simples assim.
I can see why Riddick Bowe was shitscared of Lewis and avoided him his entire career. Lewis handed him his ass in the Olympics and would have done the same as a pro. Bowe only won against Golota because of disqualifications and Lewis destroyed Golota in less than a round. Much respect for Holyfield who fought Lewis 2 times.
Nah it wouldve put a great fight. Bowe fought Holyfield 3 times and won 2. Its a shame they never fought as a pro
Underrated 77 nah Lewis is better then Holyfield and bowe
@@underrated7725 Bowe didn't want the smoke, refused to fight him. Lewis was the best of his generation
The Olympics was stopped early, the ref was dodgy
Lennox Lewis was a legend. Most under rated fighter in history.
Не какой он не легенда легендарные бойцы так не падают 0:03 Рахман чуть не убил его.
This guy was a class act.
Lennox Lewis one of the greatest heavyweights all time I read people saying he was underrated????? How can anyone underrate lewis he's in top 5 greatest fighters of all time 👊💤
I'm American, and I think Lennox was probably the best in his Era worldwide, I think most Americans think he's underrated because he wasn't an American fighter... but respect is due.
Without doubt.
I could watch Lennox’s jab all night long. Right up there with Holmes’ and the Hearn’s jab. Works of art.
Definitely one of the greats! You can't argue the Lion had his reign for years. True 2 handed boxer in a division of power punchers. He lit it up in true boxing fashion
Certainly the best of the modern heavyweights.
im so glad i grew up watching lennox lewis 😊🥊
Absolutely broke my heart when he beat Tyson, I was 12 years old.
My favourite boxer of all time.
Mine too. Followed by Bernard Hopkins, and Duran. Those are my top 3
+redkem80 i agree wit you
That's a good list!

After Holmes for me.
Lennox...class act, humble, and beat all the best...great fight with another one of my favorites ...vitali klitschko
I've always been a Mike Tyson fan, but Lennox is better and one of the best ever. Long-term champ vs short term champ.
If tyson was in his prime this guy would be done in two
@@goran9139 too much dreaming maybe u not watch, tyson match before
against Evander hollyfield.. Hollyfield do a shit strategy to beat mike, but lennox fight mike like a man by trading punches.. Fyi when lennox vs mike it was nearly end of their both carriers, the different thing is when retire lennox still hold title of world championship and mike retire coz he become a looser coz has so many defeat by others boxer
@@goran9139 Lewis was a late starter in his career, even Mike was one year younger than him, he was at his peak 15 years before this fight. The prison time took away his speed and agility.
Mike tyson was supreme in his era and when time was catching up with him comes lenox that's why otherwise Mike is always iron
@@Yendriarifianto Iron Mike was never the same after he went to prison, he lost his fire and took fights for money b'kuz he had a big name, and what ppl don't know he was on meds when he fought Lewis, once Mike said he'll eat his children Lewis said he's not fighting him unless he takes his medication
This guy was an extremely powerful animal. I think he was at least the punch of all times. Really after Mike Tyson, who was also a very strong boxer my favourite is Lennox Lewis...!! Talented and powerful. Special boxing skills and he just murdered all the towers of boxing in his prime.... but he wasn't that famous like some others....!! Respect ..!!
One of the greatest of all times
He s a beast n a gentlemen outside the ring big respect
Golota's face at 5:12 always cracked me up.
Gołota had good battles as with Ridick Bowe, etc. but he was slowly starting, when someone threw him in the first round, Gołota lost - the psyche
Me to lol ah crying
😂😂😂😂
Gołota technically was one of the best ever but he don't have legs and psyche, complete zero.
@@grzegorzgrzegorz7121 dalej nie rozumiesz.
One of the most underrated boxer's in any weight class
ALL-TIME.
Top 5 heavyweight of all time, had a fairly good chin in my opinion aswell. Its not made of granite like Holyfields but its good
+bob yenan Yea only reason he got knocked out by Rasman was he got over confident and cocky and Rasman had one hell of a right hand.
+Danblukk No heavyweight ever could have survived that right hand by Rahman.
Took clean power shots of Vitali Klitschko while out of shape and still never hit the canvas. Lennox had a great chin when he was focused.
Luis Lopez:Holyfield would have ,and lets be honest most fighters ,good fighters out of shape or not would not have got caught by that punch Rahman was slow as shit foot wise ,when lewis was crap he was crap!
Yeah, a lot of people try to cut his chin down because of the Rahman fight, yet they don't look at the fight itself. Rahman was a big dude with a lot of power, he trained his ass off, and showed up to that fight the best he ever was in his career. Every good champ has that one night, that was his. A dude that big and strong can drop anybody if they get the opening.
Right up there with the greatest heavyweights of all time....His record speaks for itself 44 wins 2 loses and a draw and those loses and draw where all later avenged with decisive wins...
frank hinstine 41 and 2 G do your homework
@@coreypierson4570 Okay you got me 44 FIGHTS 41 wins 2 loses and a draw etc.etc..
@@coreypierson4570 Doesn't change his greatness!
Vitali klitcko wins luis
Greatness
Greatest boxer of the hands down 2nd greatest heavyweight era ever. He has to be consider among the absolute best to ever lace'em up. He was deprived of a win vs Bowe who pathetically ducked him, and possibly against young Tyson if he never went to jail. His reign truly could have been even more epic.
Lennox Lewis was a fucking beast,heavyweight boxing hasn't been the same since he retired
Lewis was never a big draw plus he had a boring style
john richards Still a top 10 heavyweight of all time,pretty impressive for someone who was boring
Nothing to watch since him, every fight now looks like babies scratching
john richards boring for idiots like yourself
john richards no it doesn't, idiot. Anyone with a high level of intelligence can tell when someone isn't intelligent. Takes one to know one. I'm smart and I can tell that you're not.
Lennox Lewis was a great champion 👍👍👍👍🌲🌲🌲
Such a great boxer and sportsman, I genuinely believe I have never watched a better heavyweight. I have never understood why he is not one of the first names pull out of the hat when they they debate the greatest heavyweight of all time.
That knock out against Rahman I can watch it all day
+Bledar Koci He hit Rahman that hard because he never cleaned Lennox's belt whilst being a 5 min champ holder, lol...Really tho, Lewis was reported saying to Rahman, look after my belt as they're on loan to you.....meaning, clean them! lol
One of the best ever top 5 best heavyweight in history
Onestly, Bruno was a tank, he had an incredible chin. Look at the punishment that he took against Lennox and Tyson: he was always staggered hard but he never fell. True warrior
"After the Lewis fight, Bruno's manager, Mickey Duff, said 'Frank (Bruno) has no chin... once he gets hit clean on the button, he goes'."
Bruno really didn't lack for bravery, but I can't watch that fight without getting angry at the referee. Bruno was dead on his feet, and the stupid ref let the fight carry on. It's how boxers suffer permanent damage.
It was painful to watch.
A worthy champion in and out the ring.
He is a big inspiration. It's so Crazy!
I love the bias of the commentators in the Briggs fight. "Lewis is hurt!" Meanwhile Lennox drops his hands and smiles at Briggs before lamping him.
Lewis was hurt, but was pissed off as well. Imagine you've caught someone with a great punch , they then they slip all your next 4 punches, smile at you and then hit you with massive shots which knock you down. Talk about disheartening.
This moment showed Lewis could take a punch and was a stone cold killer in the ring. My favourite Lewis moment. It was awesome to watch live in the early hours on Sky. My Dad and I were on the edge of our seats! Can't believe it's 23 years ago!
Briggs was game though. Great performance from him.
@@Jimbo8012 Lewis was hit, not necessarily hurt, he's a boxer, getting hit is part of the job. I've been involved in combat sports since I was 8, and if I hit someone, and they dropped their guard, advanced on me, and casually delivered some hard punches, I wouldn't think that I had hurt them. His "anger" could have been at himself for letting the shot through.
The fact is I watched this whole fight with my dad, and we both felt like the American commentators were watching a different fight. This is actually common for brit fighters fighting American opponents in the US.
It's a rarity to see such a big man who is also so athletic. You don't generally see 6'6", 250 pound fighters who are as explosive as Lewis was. And his right cross could knock down a building.
6u
Joshua and Fury next...the Americans hate it...Deontay Wilder joke...
Fury is 6'9, 270 pounds and is even more athletic.
@@H.K.5 I like Lennox more than Anthony and Tyson Fury
@@H.K.5 I would even argue that Lennox is my favourite boxer ever
Such a classy heavyweight, I love his composure!
I never used to like him when I was young...
Damn those heavyweight punches. Only one of those may be enough to put a man into a coma, or even kill.
Lennox was classy and could come back even when he was hurt and knock you out brilliant boxer
I think one of the best fighters of all time.period and definitely one of the most entertaining boxers ever!
0:31 bruh he was taunting him too hard. Take a chill pill Lewis xd. He is definitely the most underrated boxer ever.
That knockout at 6:43 is just absolutely brutal. Lennox knocked that guy into last year!!!
A beautiful KO
My favourite knockout ever, flawless
The ultimate professional,inside and outside the ring🥊
