Loius respectfully dodged that question out of respect. The truth is boxing lost a bit of lustre after Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis vacated the scene. The Klitschko brothers didn`t bring me back. It was actually RUclips that brought me back to boxing after many years of my no longer following the sport.
Yep, for me, without any doubt Lennox Lewis is the smartest boxer for all times. No one else has his IQ level. End of the story. What he says is 100% correct. Lennox has a big heart as well, not to mention his physical abilities. Great boxer, great champion and great person! He always deserve great respect!
kazkas Klitschko was in a bad era for heavyweights.It has to be either the Ali, Frazier,Foreman and Norton era or the Tyson,Lewis and Holyfield era.I guess it might depend on which generation you come from as to which was the best. For me it was the Ali,Frazier era personally. 15 rounders all guns blazing!
He's right, we don't cross Era's , what we do is we reminisce Era's and the Era's that i most liked were .... The Sugar Ray Leonard Era (the fantastic four .... Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran and Marvelous Marvin Haggler) ...Continues...
Tyson in his prime was a beast! Boxing was in his blood! Lennox was really a specialist, he knew everything in boxing! I have always favored Tyson because he was my idol before he messed up! Still got respect for his legacy! None of these fighters of today could have stood 2 rounds against the legends. We really need someone who would rekindle Heavyweight Boxing!
Lennox Lewis one of the greats. You see his fights now on youtube beating Tyson, Holyfield, Klitschko etc and the comments are full of ifs and buts for the loser of the fight... the record speaks for itself. Lewis a great fighter.
no boxer these days would touch any heavy weight of lewis brunos or tysons days i even put my money on gary mason brunos stable mate great boxer. stoped and finished by lennox lewis eye damage. to become a world champion today
They must stop counting the washed up Tyson in his fight against Lewis. The former boxer Tyson was done 15 years before he met Lewis. Lewis never fought Tyson in Tysons era.
Just look at the fight against Botha 3,5 years earlier. He was done. Embarrasing to watch. Not even one combination that used to be his deadly weapon combined with power. And then a mentally unstable Tyson meets a boxer on his very best when he was in his worst condition. Tyson was good young and became worse and worse. Lewis became better as he got older. And Tyson spanked him when he was 17 when they were sparring.
Both matured as fighters at different times. Would have been difficult to call if both fought each other at their peaks. I'd probably give it to Lewis, if he used his brains, by not fighting Tyson's fight and frustrating him into making mistakes
Lewis and Bruno was quite evenly matched when they met in -93. Bruno dominated and was ahead on the scoreboard when he suddenly got knocked. Lewis became a bit better later on though. When Bruno met Tyson there were never any doubt who would win during the fight. We all waited for the moment. I personally dont see a prime Lewis winning against prime Tyson.
And over in the UK we had the Super Middleweights , (Benn , Eubank , Collins , Calazaghe ), those were greats Era's

From the moment he heard the scores at the end of his fight with Tyson Fury in November 2015, Klitschko could easily have hung up the gloves after the defeat to Fury and enjoyed retirement with his family. It would have been even easier to call it a day once the planned rematch was scrapped earlier that year. Yet even with Fury out of the picture, Klitschko still cannot just walk off into the sunset. If there are any cobwebs, he's picked the wrong guy to blow them away against. Try and feel your way in against Joshua, and you could end up feeling the force of his right hand. It wasn't even as if Fury overwhelmed him-the Englishman worked behind his jab, doing just enough in the eyes of the judges. Joshua won't pose the same problems as Fury, an underrated technician who also held a three-inch height advantage, but what makes Klitschko believe things will be different this time?
Absolute rubbish - go back and watch Klitschko getting KO'd by Corrie Sanders... he got caught with some absolute monster shots, I'm not saying Klitschko's chin isn't a weakness - but your dismissal of the punches that dropped him is hyperbole and bullshit.
From a pure skill level Joshua is absolutely nowhere near Lewis... but Lewis did get KO'd in his prime when he got caught clean - I would call it a 70/30 in favour of Lewis...
Lennox was pretty much finished when he fought Vitali and I think the lack of a rematch shows that Lennox was smart enough to know when to quit - I'm more frustrated that we never got to see him fight Riddick Bowe in the immediate aftermath of Bowe beating Holyfield - I think that would have been an all-time classic match-up...
anthony joshua looks very impressive with hand speed and power, i am a joshua fan and thinki think he will beat klitchko within 6 rounds,by stoppage or knockout, but what does worry me is his footwork is terrible, at times his feet are to close together and no balance, hes still on a learning curve i realise but find it hard to beleave his team havent addressed this, and lets face it if i have spotted this flaw then definatley klitchko will have, i know its easy to find fault and not looking for perfection but your footwork in boxing is a must to get right.
Lewis's era would beat anyone in this era with ease. It was competitive then on a very high level. Parker and Wilder are shit. Fury and Wlad have chins to be tested and AJ hasn't had a test yet.
Mister Corleone Which fight did you watch? slow fat Lewis was getting his ass beat. Was loosing. Vitali was beating crap out of him. Lewis looked pants. the crowd were not impressed with stoppage. Should have been no contest with accidental injury. Lewis pooped his pants and never rematched and walked away the coward he was with a serious hole in his legacy
The Opinion of Lennox is changing like the Weather in Britain. Buddy how an expert you are ? In past Month you favorite was Klitschko, now its 50 to 50 . You know that Wladimir will knock this guy out. Short and Simple. Joshua here Joshua there. The Guy never boxed a nearly Worldclass. Look at Klitschkos history. Everbody talking that Joshua is young blood the guy is 26 or 27. What young ? Tyson was 18, that was young. I thought you never watched bear knuckly Boxing. 60 years old beats 18 years old asses. Klitschkos body is still in a shape of an 30 years old. And his record ist more than great. if klitschko box his hole life against bums like Joshua did his record probably today was 130-0 .
Tyson in his prime with his proper coach cus would of smashed up Lewis. the washed up Tyson when he was with Don king and all the volchers who took advantage of him and didn't care about him,that Tyson Lewis could beat all day long when Danny Williams beats you you know your times up. Tyson needed cash once he got out of jail. it's a shame Tyson didn't meet cus 5 or 10 years earlier it would of been interesting to see how Tyson's career would of gone. cus kept Tyson on the right track Tyson couldn't be doing no dumb shit when cus was around. Tyson was like a little boy around cus
I don't smoke weed. Lewis got knocked out in his prime. remember that ko he got when he got up not knowing what happened. Lewis was a good boxer just his era wasn't like Tyson's and Ali's. look at the names on Tyson's list compared to lewis. now tel me I smoke to much weed
Klitscko in his prime would destroy any boxer ever.. Deal with it, he is the modern era dominant HW champ - the best boxing athlete. Some of u racists just cant grasps your head around that, now deal with it.
lennox still the last undisputed champ ! its only when you see the current shower of pretenders that you realise how good this dude was tyson fury is the real champion at the moment and will be until when and if someone beats him up the winner of wlad and joshua fight can probably claim they are the best the best in the world on April 29th but it will be hollow until they prove it aganst fury deontay wilder lol dont make me laugh hes a total fraud

So well said.
k odu it was youtube and shannon Briggs for me lol.
LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT HIM, LETS GO CHAMP! Shannon the Cannon puts up a show. Glad he is getting to fight for a world title SOON..
His era would crush today heavyweight talent
Being modest out of respect lol
You mean Tyson right?
Daniel Bailey Most of his era not just Tyson
@@Sweet_Karma and 90s Tyson wasn't good enough to beat Klitschko's or today's big 3 (maybe Wilder). Eighties Tyson wipes the floor with all of them
Yep, for me, without any doubt Lennox Lewis is the smartest boxer for all times. No one else has his IQ level. End of the story.
What he says is 100% correct. Lennox has a big heart as well, not to mention his physical abilities. Great boxer, great champion and great person! He always deserve great respect!
Another gentleman of the ring and one of the greats
like I always say...Lennix Lewis is the most underrated boxer in the history of boxing
one of the best heavyweight champion of all time
Took a punch from Lennox in 2004 and I'm still recovering
the greatest heavyweight of all time without a shred of doubt
Zeke Edwards ALI
So lieb wie er ist, so "gefährlich" ist er. Mir persönlich extrem sympathisch.
Well said Lennox!
His era, and Ali's were the best of the best. No disrespect to Louis, and Jack Johnson's era.
#LennoxLewisLegend
adon31997 they wasn't really heavyweights In jack Johnson era and even Ali really very small compared to today's guys
Truth Hurts oh yes 90s was era Lewis bowe Holmes Tyson Holyfield Briggs
Truth Hurts
That could be a debate....with the likes of
Shavers
Liston
Norton
Foreman
Frazier
Williams(Big Cat)
Holmes
Just to name a few....
Klitscko was the best era
kazkas
Klitschko was in a bad era for heavyweights.It has to be either the Ali, Frazier,Foreman and Norton era or the Tyson,Lewis and Holyfield era.I guess it might depend on which generation you come from as to which was the best.

Its a plesure to see a 51 years old former heavyweight champion with all the teeth in his mouth ..
That's because Lewis created the jab, jab, and grab fighting style, lawl
its called 30k veneers
still can t compare with Andre ward's teeths, he looks like he doesn t even boxing...
Yea,he will look different after Kovalev s rematch...
Toney's Reviews wlad learned alot from him
Lennox still looks about 30! True legend, much respect
looking very young at 51.
Tyson in his prime was a beast! Boxing was in his blood! Lennox was really a specialist, he knew everything in boxing! I have always favored Tyson because he was my idol before he messed up! Still got respect for his legacy! None of these fighters of today could have stood 2 rounds against the legends. We really need someone who would rekindle Heavyweight Boxing!
Lenox knows and hit it right on the head. Great comments from a great Boxer.
Must say he looks after himself well Lennox does; he looks healthy and handsome LOL in this vid
Lennox Lewis one of the greats. You see his fights now on youtube beating Tyson, Holyfield, Klitschko etc and the comments are full of ifs and buts for the loser of the fight... the record speaks for itself. Lewis a great fighter.

The former boxer Tyson was done 15 years before he met Lewis.
Lewis never fought Tyson in Tysons era.
Excatly 👍🏻
True nobody goes to prison for 3 years and comes back the same fighter. In fact you'd have to go back to the late 80's for prime tyson.
Just look at the fight against Botha 3,5 years earlier. He was done. Embarrasing to watch. Not even one combination that used to be his deadly weapon combined with power.
And then a mentally unstable Tyson meets a boxer on his very best when he was in his worst condition. Tyson was good young and became worse and worse. Lewis became better as he got older.

Joshua won't pose the same problems as Fury, an underrated technician who also held a three-inch height advantage, but what makes Klitschko believe things will be different this time?
still looks the same.
I even thought better!
Lewis is so eloquent
My best boxer of all time, even today if i want to watch a boxing match i jus watch Lewis Tyson "IsOn"
Lewis questioned Joshua's chin on an Seconds Out video earlier. Must know the frailties.
He said it was untested, not that it was frail.
Absolute rubbish - go back and watch Klitschko getting KO'd by Corrie Sanders... he got caught with some absolute monster shots, I'm not saying Klitschko's chin isn't a weakness - but your dismissal of the punches that dropped him is hyperbole and bullshit.
Lewis also thought that David Price was going all the way. He may have been a great boxer but his judgment is no better than anyone elses.
Wladimir would be a title treat in any eras...
Lennox would beat Joshua now.
From a pure skill level Joshua is absolutely nowhere near Lewis... but Lewis did get KO'd in his prime when he got caught clean - I would call it a 70/30 in favour of Lewis...
Possibly - Lennox's straight right hand was one of the most devastating single punches in the history of heavyweight boxing...
Hypnodelica
The fact he didn't rematch Vitali frustrates me though.......
Lennox was pretty much finished when he fought Vitali and I think the lack of a rematch shows that Lennox was smart enough to know when to quit - I'm more frustrated that we never got to see him fight Riddick Bowe in the immediate aftermath of Bowe beating Holyfield - I think that would have been an all-time classic match-up...
thats why he is fighting...
Lennox Lewis humble but still the g.o.a.t.
funny thing is tyson fury would fuck up his era
This guy looks good for his age!
I miss David Tua....He was like a Samoan Mike Tyson..
Nowhere near as good as Tyson was in his prime.
We never know if this is it :)
"wassup with that fake British accent anyway...u look like a brother name Rodney out of Detroit that owe me some money"
-Aries spears 😄😄😄
guy ur mad funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that is a smart champ lenny.
this era has been dominated by klitschko. so the question should of been how would you go against wladimir klitschko.
tmd Dunk Lewis KO.
No guy test SEEN!
NO GUY TEST THIS MAN
He said that in front of Tyson after beating him thoroughly in that post fight interview
Mister Corleone...he took the 'S' of Superman's chest & 'B' of Batman's belly!
Great champ
best of best from britain/canada/jamaica....apart from lilt :)
this is it ...and when I say this is it, I mean this is it.
Is that it?
Stat Ix So that really is the case here? I would have never thought this would be it.. so saddening yet happy news.
Lennox would smash A.J
Lennox!
could go like haye did agaist tony beluw. ageing only gets faster. wlad has a punchers chance, he dose still punch good.
anthony joshua looks very impressive with hand speed and power, i am a joshua fan and thinki think he will beat klitchko within 6 rounds,by stoppage or knockout, but what does worry me is his footwork is terrible, at times his feet are to close together and no balance, hes still on a learning curve i realise but find it hard to beleave his team havent addressed this, and lets face it if i have spotted this flaw then definatley klitchko will have, i know its easy to find fault and not looking for perfection but your footwork in boxing is a must to get right.
Lennox Bruno
In My Opinion, klitchko was just making it look like a fight, in rememberance of Don King?
Yes
Lewis's era would beat anyone in this era with ease. It was competitive then on a very high level.
Parker and Wilder are shit. Fury and Wlad have chins to be tested and AJ hasn't had a test yet.
but who really tested lewis?
I'm Sorry But No One Could Touch Lennox Lewis in his day
Except for rahman and mccall.
And Vitali
tom tom Are You Dumb? Clearly u don't watch boxing ! Let me correct you Lennox Beat Vitali !!! Why don't you watch the fight
Mister Corleone Which fight did you watch? slow fat Lewis was getting his ass beat. Was loosing. Vitali was beating crap out of him. Lewis looked pants. the crowd were not impressed with stoppage. Should have been no contest with accidental injury. Lewis pooped his pants and never rematched and walked away the coward he was with a serious hole in his legacy
lol, let me correct you. He won by a ref stoppage due to a cut, but every judge had Lewis losing by a land slide, but nice try though.
just for men is strong in this one.
That the stupies question ever !!! How would you fight Ali . Never happened why even to bring that shit up
its correct why hes best fake HW ever
It's interesting that all losers are on Wilder's side 😂😂😂 so AJ could pack 'em up 💪🏾
Andy Ruiz: Hold my pie!
The Opinion of Lennox is changing like the Weather in Britain. Buddy how an expert you are ?
In past Month you favorite was Klitschko, now its 50 to 50 . You know that Wladimir will knock this guy out.
Short and Simple. Joshua here Joshua there. The Guy never boxed a nearly Worldclass. Look at Klitschkos
history. Everbody talking that Joshua is young blood the guy is 26 or 27. What young ? Tyson was 18, that was young. I thought you never watched bear knuckly Boxing. 60 years old beats 18 years old asses.

the best there has bean ever ll
eyeliner?
theres only one tyson fury
lewis is scared that aj is gonna be the best boxer ever in uk
Ohhhh shut up lennox ...... you cheated in your last fight with TYSON!!!!! You know it, you kept grabbing him!!!!!
Tyson in his prime with his proper coach cus would of smashed up Lewis. the washed up Tyson when he was with Don king and all the volchers who took advantage of him and didn't care about him,that Tyson Lewis could beat all day long when Danny Williams beats you you know your times up.

I don't smoke weed. Lewis got knocked out in his prime. remember that ko he got when he got up not knowing what happened. Lewis was a good boxer just his era wasn't like Tyson's and Ali's. look at the names on Tyson's list compared to lewis. now tel me I smoke to much weed
tyson would hv kill kiltsko brothers no need tyson and foreman alone woulf hv murder klitsko in the.ring
Too much hedging.
if don't mean anything
Te retiras te por miedo a vitali
koji kurac lexon komentarise ja bi ga nokautirao
Klitscko in his prime would destroy any boxer ever.. Deal with it, he is the modern era dominant HW champ - the best boxing athlete.
Some of u racists just cant grasps your head around that, now deal with it.
grabimir weak chin or quitali
lennox still the last undisputed champ !
its only when you see the current shower of pretenders that you realise how good this dude was
tyson fury is the real champion at the moment and will be until when and if someone beats him up
the winner of wlad and joshua fight can probably claim they are the best the best in the world on April 29th but it will be hollow until they prove it aganst fury
deontay wilder lol dont make me laugh hes a total fraud
he doesnt know who would win if he fought Muhammad Ali????disrespectfull bum
lennox Lewis is the greatest ever so he was humble.
Ali would toy with him
Everybody outside USA know Lewis was the greatest.
I am from sweden and I think both Ali and Lewis will beat Johansson
Lennox has no Knowledge
