Lennox was an influence growing up. As an athlete I wanted to be as ferocious and feared as tyson, but respected like Lennox . He always stayed straight with being humble and focused, no excuses, pure professional. Tyson matured over time, and I'm so happy to see Mike finally enjoying being the good guy and over the vanity of being the bad guy. He looks like hes loving life now too. Great to see both these guys healthy.

Had they fought in 1989 when Lewis became pro, Tyson would have snuffed him in 2 rounds.

I love Lennox, I proudly have his autograph sitting on my shelf right next to Tyson's. But, Wladimir Klitschko was never undisputed champion because his brother held the WBC. They can hardly have been expected to fight each other. Whilst Wladimir is not most entertaining fighter, and his was not the most prolific era in heavyweight boxing history, he's had a tremendous career. 18 consecutive title defenses and almost 10 years as champion. Its fairly impressive.

W Rosenberg for going to fights and doin this

Rosenburg, you're really good with fighters/combat sports.Great interview vibe, I liked the Max Kellerman interview as well, keep goin!

This proves that the way a pro boxer behaves out of the ring affects him in the ring. Lennox behaved with class out of the ring, stayed out of trouble, was disciplined & went home to his family. So important for a pro boxer to retire wealthy, dude is worth over $100 million & doesn't show off. My favorite pugilist ever, truly under appreciated, especially by the english fans.

But he was no match for Lewis or Holyfield. Who were both older than him, so all that over the hill shit goes out the window. Yeah he went to prison but so did Hopkins, shit Ali was banned for three years. And they all came out strong. Mike fought bums and lost to the two top talents of his generation. Mike didn't even make the Olympics. He wasn't good enough. When it's all said and done. Numbers don't lie, and Lewis has the best names and the best record

Boxing is just as much about thinking as it is about throwing punches. If you don't have a sharp mind, you will not realize your full potential.

People on here saying that Tyson in his prime would have won. What does it matter. You can only beat the man put in front of you, and Lewis beat everyone he ever faced. He is s true champ. In my opinion he beat Hollyfield twice, as the first result was a blatant fix. But back to Tyson, different boxers peak at different times. Tyson peaked early, Lewis peaked later. I'm a big fan of both, and loved the old Tyson. However, I think people look back with rose tinted glasses. As strong as Tyson was as a boxer, I never see him beat any real, true greats of the sport. Yes, he smashed a lot of nobodies, but never really beat a real all time great. Does that taint his legacy? No. As I said with Lewis, you can only beat the people put in front of you, and both boxers did this in their prime. With the state of the heavyweight division in recent years, we are lucky to have had Lewis when we did. He was the last truly great heavyweight.

But now after he beat everyone and then some, the U.S fans are starting to appreciate just how great and tough a champ he really was. This man did not let his sole two defeats go without destroying the two that he lost to. And his defeat of Holyfield, Tua, Briggs, Tyson, Klitschko, Mercer certainly puts him in anybodies top 10.

Tyson was the MOST EXCITING fighter of the modern era- In fact, Tyson was arguably the most exciting ever but Lennox was a better Boxer and a bad match up for Tyson. What you don’t see behind the scenes is that these guys, Tyson and Lennox, Tyson and Holyfield had all in fact sparred in their younger days and both Holyfield and Lennox handled Tyson okay. It is a wonder why they did not get their shot at Tyson earlier.

Jason Phillips yeah but he lost 3 of the last 4. obviously washed up. Not saying it was a sure thing earlier. It basically would've boiled down to if Mike could've found his chin in time but Mike was much more efficient at finding their chin early in his career but still a toss up

Checkers Lane The Tyson fights was one of Lennox's last 2 fights. Lennox was obviously washed up.

Yet Lewis will never ever admit this. Every time he gets behind the microphone, even to this day, he is still trying to talk people into believing that he deserves a better place in pugilistic history. This tells me that on some level, he knows that he didn't do enough in the ring to go down as one of the all time greats.

@West coast Dre When training for amateurs, that was before he was 19. More like 15 or so.

West coast Dre .....correct. Lennox Lewis was out for 5 minutes. Joe Egan conformed it when he gave a first hand account.

Thx for slipping m8y

I for one appreciate an ATG boxer (Lewis) whose speech isn't laden with profanity and trash-talk. Good on Lennox.

I like Mike,he is a legend,but he took over the division when there wasn’t any great opponent,may be Michael Spinks but he was more of a cruiser,and,of course,great 40 yers old Larry Holmes,who was long period retired.

Lewis was far too skilled and intelligent to get intimidated by Tyson's repertoire of psychological intimidation and cheap insults....

lennox is cool and speaks very well. totally sharp

We all loved Lenix when I was a kid.

Holyfield and Lewis fought Tyson when he was past his prime.

That's Tyson's fault, not Lewis's. He wanted him years before. He would have fought him in the early 90's if Tyson wasn't in prison. Once Tyson was out, he continually ducked Lewis until he had nowhere else to go and he needed the big payday.

Tyson ducked and dodged Lewis for years - Lewis = GOAT

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ one of my favorite people

Legend

He thinks he was the second coming of Ali

Klitchko would have been undisputed champ but he wouldn't fight his brother. Come on, Lennox.

Delbert Delbert yeah that's a little ridiculous to say he wasn't undisputed when the only belt he didn't have was his brother's. Then again if they did fight I'm pretty sure big brother would be undisputed champ

I was never a fan, but this guy is a class act.

Rip Van Winkle was from the Catskills.

he wouldn't of beat Tyson in his prime though

It is well documented that Mike did not follow his championship regiment for that Buster Douglas fight. Buster Douglas one the fight for sure - but he wasn't fighting a match-fit Tyson.
