Lennox Lewis Documentary | The Last Undisputed Heavyweight
Спорт
Lennox Lewis was a three-time heavyweight world champion and the most recent heavyweight to hold all of the titles. Lewis first gained recognition after winning the Olympic gold medal when he beat Riddick Bowe in the 1988 finals. He began his ascent through the British rankings which saw him beat his domestic rival, Frank Bruno. As a champion, Lewis is best known for his victories over heavyweight legends like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko. As well as defeating every heavyweight he ever faced and avenging his losses against Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman. Today we take a look at Lewis's career and his journey in becoming one of the best heavyweights in history.

Lewis is head to head the most dangerous heavyweight of all time. I have him beating pretty much everyone when he’s focused.

Best heavyweight of all time
Most disrespected heavyweight of all time. You ask someone who the best heavyweight of all time is, and they don’t say Lennox, then they are either telling you the name of their personal favourite fighter, or they don’t know enough about boxing to know the truth: Lennox is the all time HW king.

@@mickeythegent5144 Lewis destroys Fury. He's a way more complete boxing, quicker, more skilled and fought better guys. Fury doesn't have the one punch KO power to put down Lewis like McCall and Rahman did. Even Wilder, who is a trash boxer, was landing on Fury plenty. Just imagine what Lennox would do to him. Would either be a late KO/TKO or a unanimous decision. Even Cunningham and Pajkic dropped Fury

@@bodyediting8847 Lewis wins, but it's not a cake walk, as much as i dislike Fury - He's a very good fighter, 6ft9 275lbs, good skills, great stamina, great power of recovery, very elusive for his size, jab, head-movement, he's a formidable heavyweight, I'd say he's no worse than Vitaly Klitscko who gave Lewis one of his hardest nights (even though lewis was passed his best at that stage), But yeah.. When Fury is in the zone i think he's a handful for anyone.. though i do think Lewis beats him.

I saw Lennox Lewis fight in the 90s and it’s hard to overstate how large of a man he is, but also when he shook my hand and smiled at me, you could tell he was one of the nicest guys you could probably meet
You could always count on Lennox to get the job done. The only heavyweight I know who could land an uppercut 3ce in rapid succession.
Lennox Lewis could end Joshua easily. AND Usyk.
The man is a class act.....
I once said something in a joking way but at Lennox Lewis's expense to him on Twitter. And he responded to me in the most polite well mannered way and went about making me feel like a complete dark bag. And he was a 100% right. But He did it in a way with love to be honest. And as soon as he said what he said I immediately know what he meant. And I literally felt about an inch tall. I apologized to him and I said from the stay on I will never speak badly to a professional fighter. Is former or current

If Lewis was a couple years younger and in better shape/properly prepared, I don't think Vitaly would've won a round. Lewis at his worst and slowest struggled but still ripped vitalys face to ribbons, he also landed the more eye catching shots, Including the best punch of the fight which was the uppercut in round 5. Prime vs Prime Lewis beats up and kos Vitaly. Also.. compare their records and best wins. Vitalys resume doesn't even remotely come close. Vitalys best wins are guys like derek chisora and chris arreola, Lennox's best wins are guys like evander holyfeild, ray mercer, mike tyson, tommy morrison, david tua, razor rudduck.. It's night and day.

@@theinformationbomber7102 The cause of missing the rematch was from both sides as Vitaly who wanted 50% of the payment for the rematch but Lewis disagreed because he thought he as a champion should get more reward. They kept arguing for a year until Lewis's wife came up and tell her man to retire to divorce. Off course, Lewis chose the latter. This can be found in Manny Steward's interview.

Lewis obviously, Usyk is not one of the greatest
I think a focussed, switched on Stewart coached Lennox beats all the current crop; too big for Usyk and equally skilled, better all round than AJ, jabs Wilder to bits like the equally dangerous Tua and out points Fury in a tactical snooze fest.

Lennox Lewis thrived on the philosophy, the punch you don’t see is the one that hurts most that’s why he would block his opponents vision with his lead hand and crush them with a hook from the opposite hand. He’s the reason they created the rule that you can’t blind your opponent with your lead hand Anymore

I'd love to but look at my views.... putting in dozens of hours into making these vids just isn't worth it anymore
Just read the Guardian article where Mr Lewis claims he should be included in the upper echelon of heavyweights along with Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. Total Nonsense. He got nailed and KO'd by Hasim Rahman and was lucky to survive the Klitschko bout (stopped because of Klitschko's cut). He then ducked the rematch with Klitschko and decided, instead, to retire. Lucky to be around when the heavyweight division was mediocre and Lewis was slighty above average.
Jesus loves you 🙂
His record wasn’t tarnished by Mcall the referee stopped the fight prematurely. In their second fight was Mcall maybe convicted by his faith to stop fighting? Or was it something else?
West hams finest. He'd beat them all 2day no problems...... Hope your well lion n enjoying retirement.....😊
