    sorry to interfere ,however I confirm that Lewis never ducked a fight .He had announced his retirement before the Vitali fight and wasn't even supposed to face him at all.Vitali (whom I consider another amazing champ ) was 6 years younger and in way better shape .It was a great close fight in which Lennox prevailed .Sometimes one shot can end a fight ,like it happened with Delahoya vs Hopkins etc.. That said lewis went out his comfort zone and postponed retirement to face the Great Vitali and once again proved to be the best .There hasn't been any rematch simply cause he retired from the sport and honestly I confidently say that Lewis would never withdraw or fear anyone ,he is a real fighter and warrior .We will never know if Vitali could have won the rematch what we know for sure is that Lewis did not avoid him for fear .

The Vindicator Tyson 'a shell' June 6, 2002 at 12:00a.m. If this were the Mike Tyson of years ago, Emanuel Steward might be a little more worried. Steward, who trains Lennox Lewis, thinks Tyson is just a shell of the fighter he once was. Tyson is expected to be an underdog for the first time in his career when he meets Lewis for his heavyweight titles Saturday night at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tenn. “Everybody is holding on to that image of Mike Tyson of 12, 13 years ago,” Steward said. “They don’t want to let that go.

    Lewis showed a lot of class not attacking Oliver McCall in their rematch when McCall dropped his arms and had a nervous breakdown. I could see how the urge to avenge getting knocked out from McCall in their first fight may have made it tempting to try and KO McCall when he became vulnerable. Lewis however, had the perspecacity to realize that something wasn't right with McCall, and showed compassion in not attempting to throw a punch and merely allow the referee to caal the fight. Very class act, and deserving of being a Champion.

  • @MrVvulf

    @MrVvulf

    McCall's breakdown was likely a culmination of factors. The two primary ones being drugs, and the loss of his trainer (forced out by Don King). McCall had a very tight relationship with Manny Stewart, his trainer. Don King became worried that Stewart might advise McCall to drop Don King (as any good trainer SHOULD), and so he forced McCall to fire Stewart. Being at the fight without the man who trained him to be there pushed McCall over the edge, in my opinion.

    Boxing: Lewis wars with trainer over title claim Sport Tracy, Ted Daily Record (Glasgow, Scotland) Mar 14, 2000 LENNOX LEWIS has had a raging row with his trainer Emanuel Steward The bust-up came as he began the build-up to his first fight as undisputed world heavyweight champion. Lewis was left fuming by reports that Steward claimed Evander Holyfield should have won their historic bout last November. And the British fighter's promoter Panos Eliades was forced to step in as peacemaker in their war. It is the latest twist in a relationship which has sometimes been rocky, although Steward will continue to train Lewis for his clash with Michael Grant in New York on April 29.

He was a complete boxer-puncher and a total class act. He didn't show boat and disrespect his opponents (Ali/Roy Jones/Ray Leonard) he just went out there and handled his business. He also became a great commentator post boxing career. Loved watching this guy fight and glad he ended up finally being recognized as an elite all-time heavyweight towards the end of his boxing career.

    I largely agree with your comments. I think Lennox being a Brit (non-rabid, somewhat reserved demeanor, well-spoken) didn't help the public perception of him being an ALL-TIME great heavyweight. And as Lennox wasn't flamboyant like Ali, nor did he have that savage-like attitude (the way Tyson was in his prime), so it simply took longer for the public to finally come to the collective "This guy ducks no one, and beats almost everybody, so he's a legit elite heavyweight" revelation. But, yeah, I do think him being a Brit didn't help the perception of HOW skilled/tough he actually was in the ring. That said, aside from Ali and Tyson in his prime, I don't know that there's been a better heavyweight over time than Lewis.
