The great Lennox Lewis.. the last great Heavyweight. It was a pleasure to watch this man fight and see him use the sweet science for such a large dude. In such a risky division, where its do or die, Lennox Lewis with his appreciation for the sport, not the fight, prevailed. Best heavy weight I ever seen in my lifetime.
The love and respect between these two guys is great. Usyk is such an approachable guy and genuinely fun loving, and Lewis is just a phenomenal person. Would love to shake the hands of both Champs.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I also put him on top. Ali, Holmes, Foreman etc were not tested by East European boxers but Lennox beat them all including the best one (Vitaly).
You are so delulu Lennox would never beat prime Muhammed Ali. He wouldnt beat Usyck in this time. He wouldnt beat Jack Johnson in the old time and also not Rocky Marciano. And Joe Frazier would be a difficult one for him. He is not the greatest ever okay
I always thought Lewis clearly had most high quality list of prime dangerous fighters in his recs of nearly any atg. Lewis is very underrated, would beat most greats.
He's a brilliant personality and a great boxer. But he is wrong about the Jab. Every cerebral fighter knows that biting the ears is the number 1 skill.
@@AnthonyCroydon909 I don't think he would have been 16 then, because he's 37 today,( so born in 1987), then the Lewis/Tyson match happened after 2000?? to me it was in the late 90's.. but I don't remember well..
Good old nostalgia , I don’t remember at the time thinking he was the best ever , he was great in his period and a good solid fighter , but the real stand outs of all time are Ali and Mike Tyson that everyone remembers for a reason , maybe the difference was the charisma of the two I mentioned which was also standout .
The lack of a jab is why Wilder is struggling now against other fighters. He is so reliant on his right hand that he just wants to go head hunting. Both Ali and Holmes had excellent jabs.
Huge Ali fan here but let’s be right about his jab : he had ONE jab with no variety . A fast flick to blind an opponent for the right cross mostly. No body jab at all / no ‘ ramrod’ jab etc etc. Larry Holmes / sonny liston etc etc jab wise he was not !!
@@serenityinside1Nonsense you never watched Ali. He had a very smart and one of the best jabs in history. He could throw swivel jab, flicker jab, and he varied the timing of the jab. He also threw the body jab often since Olympics 1960. Nonsense. You can watch Fayz Boxing breakdowns and see that’s not true. When he won gold he jabbed the body, one of the most prolific body jabbers.
I agree though I'd say it is just one reason why Wilder struggles. He took boxing up relatively late - around 18 iirc and if you start at that age you're not going to become a well-rounded fighter. Wilder has attributes and is a huge natural puncher, but he does so much wrong - he's too tight, bad footwork, shaky defence, poor combinations, lunges and - as you say, no jab. It is the most important punch in boxing. Without it it's tough to establish control of an opponent, for one.
Was at the Ruddock fight at Earls Court. In cheap seat which were £50 which wasnt cheap trust. It was the night the British public finally got on the Lennox express and what a ride he gave us! Top 5 HW in my opinion. Stick him in with Louis,Ali,Holmes and pick one from Dempsey,Wills,Langford,Liston, Foreman and Audley Harrison. Just checking you're still reading!
Truly one of the very best, hugely skilled, great jab, huge right hand, intelligent and still fully in control. Credit to the sport unlike many others. Retired with a load of cash and no regrets.
@Roblad86 That's some crafty comment there, positioning USYK on Fury's level when chances are USYK is levels above all the current crop of heavyweights; in this case, Fury! (Only) history will show where USYK ultimately places, among all the greats, as this era's history is still being written.
Usyk is a brilliant boxer for sure but I wouldn't say he is levels above Fury, I guess we'll find out soon enough. I's actually like to see an Usyk / Parker fight. Parker has a good jab, fast hands good footwork, good chin and does well against guys Usyk's size. @@rareearthelement8698
you might totally be right but... I feel like if israel adesanya fought in the 70s, and sean strickland fought nowadays, everyone would be saying "maaan the middleweight these days suck, izzy would spark up strickland if he fought in present times".
I saw a few seconds of Usyk training somewhere. He is training right. He doesn't gain useless weight for this fight, as he needs speed and movability. Train speed and no wasted movements and no notice. He is remembering to move and train upper body movement with bigger range of motion and faster. He is relaxing more In his neck.. and including his head much better. But there only were a few seconds. Getting close to Tyson, pendulum movements and instead of a Mike Tyson's strength and hooks he will use speed and straight and short and fast punches. Precise like a snake. Tyson I haven't seen yet, but he will train equally efficiently. Both have weaknesses but will they see each others?
Vitali Klitchko is a Billinaire and Lewis is a Millionaire. I don't think a Billionaire wants to fight a Millionaire! US goverment wouldn't allowed it. A former boxing champion as a rebel against the MIGHTY Russia is too good of narrative to risk it!
My favourite heavyweight of all time,had it all...skill,power and speed.He also very tactical,played chess and used that in the ring to break down appoints.He offered to train Joshua but Joshua declined and disrespected him.He would have taught Anythony so much what with his jab and uppercut.True legend and gentleman at the same time
@@marthinusbyleveld5012 That's easy to say after his first loss, Lewis has never demonstrated in any way that he would be a good coach. Not to mention that he's knocked AJ many times over the years. AJ is an average heavyweight. He quit against Andy Ruiz and completely outboxed by Usyk, he has never beaten an elite boxer in their prime. This is the best he will ever be period!!!!
When asked what can you learn from Lennox? I dont know Ukrainian but I think he said "tarpenie" which in Bulgarian means "patience". Usyk's promoter couldn't think of the English word but I think he was going to say patience. In the end they said "the jab" 😂 but I don't think this is what Usyk really wanted to say
Loving the WBC strap on Lennox’s wrist but can’t tell if a watch or bracelet. Legend for all time with only 2 pro losses and KTTFO on the rematch. Riddick Bowe would have fled the earth to avoid fighting him but instead through his belt in the trash rather than fight him for it
Lewis is the last of the heavyweight greats. He's up there with Holmes, ali, Tyson etc That's why I look at men like Tyson fury, and he's nowhere near that league.
Dead right on the jab statement. Back in the day I was a massive david tua fan, and to be honest when they fought lewis jab alone basically won the fight for him. He really did have a world class technique, tua was a extremely dangerous fighter and that jab really made it a comfortable win for him.
Lennox vs. Vitali would make a lot more sense. The Conqueror vs. Dr. Iron Fist was one of the great scraps of that decade, even though it ended in some controversy. "Look at the state of his face!" The only problem is Vitali is still so sore over that stoppage that there's no way he treats the fight as an exhibition.
My favourite fighter of all time - a one-man wrecking ball in his prime, fighting in an era of killers (admittedly most of them on the gear), most of whom would run the heavyweight division today.
I've stood next to Lennox a few times when he used to come to our amateur club shows in Toronto, and I gotta tell you, he's huge. Seeing Usyk next to him, he's not as small as people say or think. He must be pretty big too.
@vincentvangogh8092 I'm 6'2 and standing next to Lenny, I would say he's a little closer to 6'7, so yeah pretty much. 6'3 is average for heavyweight i would say. Ali was 6'3, Foreman was 6'4. Heck, Tyson is only 5'10. I would say tall heavyweights are not that common.
you might totally be right but... I feel like if israel adesanya fought in the 70s, and sean strickland fought nowadays, everyone would be saying "maaan the middleweights these days suck, izzy would spark up strickland if he fought in present times".
@@ItsameAlexeh no, its not just blind nostalgia boxing was a much much more active sport, with more pro boxers in the ranks, fewer divisions, fewer belts and alot less ducking. So the apex of that time were really special fighters
Lennox got KO’d by McCall & Rahman… I think Fury gives him a lot of trouble. Lennox was use to fighting shorter opponents, not someone taller like Fury
Lennox would never do it, there’s an interview where he confirms he was offered over $27 Million to fight Vitali & declined lmao He corrected the interviewer himself & said it was more.
@@TheHide.1318 That Lewis overhand made Tyson's ear hit his shoulder. Nobody else moved Mike's head like that! That overhand right made boxers like Tyson, Holyfield and Tua hang back. I suspect some of Lewis' punches got close to Foreman and Norton's PSI levels.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Some said he was the hardest puncher they faced. McCall (he said that punch that made him fly in the ropes was the hardest punch that ever hit him) and Ray Mercer (they asked if he ever faced an opponent with such an arsenal =talking about Wlad) and he thought only one name, he said yes, Lennox Lewis. LL hits harder ! I don't remember the others unfortunately. That lets you imagine the level of power the guy had.
Big Lennox, best HW of modern time .. only thing they showed me in boxing gym was the jab, everything starts with the jab and no right hand twice in a raw and how to move to counter, rest figure out your self..
Like many , I too was too much invested in Mike Tyson . The media too . That overshadowed many similar heavyweight greats . After watching a few Lennox Lewis fights , I saw he had a great boxing mind ... and jab . He had the ability to worrk towards and create an opportunity for a knock out . I was really scared when he faced my hero Tyson ... because I have learned Lewis can K.O anyone.
Bivol uses the jab better than Lewis ever did. Lewis' jab was effective because of his huge reach-advantage over everyone else. Bivol's jab has to be more skillful because he has short arms. He uses timing, footwork, setting traps, and perfect technique to jab his opponents' faces in for 12-rounds.
Bivol is genuinely one of the best technical fighters of all time. So underrated. He schooled a better and stronger Canelo than the one Mayweather fought.
That's not strictly true. Lewis threw his jab in a pretty unusual way. He held his left hand close to his opponent's face and never brought it back to guard so the jab only travelled a short distance when he threw it. It was thus an extremely fast and accurate jab. Also, it wasn't telegraphed because it was thrown over a short distance and yet was still surprisingly powerful despite the lack of leverage. It was much more than a range finder jab. Lewis of course used his height and reach advantages but he also leveraged them further with unusual technique.
@@shaunvduke Just like neither will Usyk or Fury if they will fight, since the winner will automatically be stripped by the IBF, it's still ain't taking anything from them, just like it was the case with Lewis.
Steve Bunce is right about Lennox, there is something regal about Lewis. He hovers over the ground rather than walks. And when he finishes walking you half expect him to be seated on a throne somewhere. It's really strange because he was not particularly loved in the UK when he was making his name. It took him a very very long time to get respect, but I'm not sure he ever felt the love. But far more important than all that? Physically he looks great. Boxing is a unforgiving sport with a history of sending so many of its great fighters to an early grave. Lennox looks radiant.

He held his left hand close to his opponent's face and never brought it back to guard so the jab only travelled a short distance when he threw it. It was thus an extremely fast and accurate jab. Also, it wasn't telegraphed because it was thrown over a short distance and yet was still surprisingly powerful despite the lack of leverage. It was much more than a range finder jab.
Lewis of course used his height and reach advantages but he also leveraged them further with unusual technique.
@@Jimbo8012 and that jab was way stronger than Bivols jab.
Different Weight Class 😅
Larry Holmes had a great jab.
@@Jeronimus8090he’s a heavyweight no shit 🤦♂️
The last undisputed heavyweight champion.
Til he got stripped of TWO belts for refusing to fight his mandatories.
Never once defended undisputed....
@@shaunvduke Just like neither will Usyk or Fury if they will fight, since the winner will automatically be stripped by the IBF, it's still ain't taking anything from them, just like it was the case with Lewis.
Lewis was the Best ever imho. He lost only to himself!
Describing Fury as a giraffe is fucking gold 🤣
“It’s like who’s gonna win? The bunny rabbit of the giraffe?” 😂
Steve Bunce is right about Lennox, there is something regal about Lewis. He hovers over the ground rather than walks. And when he finishes walking you half expect him to be seated on a throne somewhere.
It's really strange because he was not particularly loved in the UK when he was making his name. It took him a very very long time to get respect, but I'm not sure he ever felt the love.
But far more important than all that? Physically he looks great. Boxing is a unforgiving sport with a history of sending so many of its great fighters to an early grave. Lennox looks radiant.
This is one incredible channel!
damn! at 0:49 you can see Tony Jeffries walking in the backround!!
Usyk said "Patience". Greetings from Bulgaria.
Lennox what a gentleman and animal! My top pick!
I have met Lennox twice in my life and still he is that cool guy, and yes he looks great ❤️💛💚
Fury you giraffe is the next cuss 🤣
Lennox would bury all of them.
Not Usyk.
@@Dawg477climb out of his arse
you might totally be right but... I feel like if israel adesanya fought in the 70s, and sean strickland fought nowadays, everyone would be saying "maaan the middleweights these days suck, izzy would spark up strickland if he fought in present times". 0:01
Where was this?
Saudi.
Larry Holmes had a great jab!. That’s why he held the title for so long.
Tyson smashed holmes

Usyk remained me of the Polish Manager of my local CoOp. Nice chap.
The jab master. No one had a jab like lenox
Lennox knows his artillery lol the jab, the jab
Lennox, the legend!
Usyk said that he learnt to be patient from Lennox, but his promoter zoned out 😅
Good interview and interviewer. Lets lennox speak alot.
Good To See Lennox Lewis Still Doing Well. My Favorite Heavyweight In Opinion Of All Time.
I agree with Lennox,well said 👍👍
Glad to see Lenox in such a great shape 🥊
Lewis was n still is the best jab in boxing
Ike Quartey had the best jab, Lewis had perhaps the most powerful heavyweight jab, up there with Foreman. Bruno's jab was also very effective.
I'd say the stiffest jab for sure. Also very versatile.
