Lewis: We just leave it all in the ring. After that there's no need to each other or fight each other. I like his statement as one of the greatest boxers.
First rule of boxing culture - what happens in the ring STAYS in the ring. They obviously Honour and respect thy rule which is why they both made remarkable champions
+A Jones I thought the same thing too.. Lennox actually a has aged very good and has not lost intelligence and speak but holyfield.. my god he is not that bright anymore. of course it comes from the many shot they took but its just sad. the are heroes of mine.
+George W. Bush Holyfield fought so many wars. He took one every one of the great boxers of his era. Tyson, Lewis, Bowe... he fought them all. He even also fought Foreman, Moorer... if they had anything,... any type of cred, he was the one who fought them. It's why he came out with so much deterioration, but if you listen to the points that he makes, they still make alot of sense. They just come out slower and less crisp. He's not as eloquent as he was when he was younger, but he hasn't lost intelligence.
If you spend 12 rounds trying everything you've got to outwit and knock out your opponent and they're still standing at the end, you've got to have respect for them.
0:52 I agree with piers........Holyfield is underrated in the intimidation department.......I always thought he was very intimidating. In the Tyson stare downs - he was the one doing the intimidating.
Da Truth I still think Vitali could've won that fight, but you know, when people see their Champion is losing they stop the fight, they get the doctor in to talk shit to make it look secured with the stoppage, Vitali would've beaten him with one eye haha and that would've been funny, Vitali is great,
+Anthony Sefo Your saying Vitali could had won against a nearly retired 38 year old Lennox Lewis. Do you see how great Lennox Lewis is that your debating the fact that Vitali in his prime may beat an out of prime old Lennox Lewis. The fact that Lennox Lewis even won against Vitali at his retirement fight is just a demonstration on how great he is. If Vitali lost against an Old Lennox Lewis, then no doubt that prime Lennox Lewis can beat him.
he puts across exactly what its like in the fight community (at least in my experience) even at a grassroots level - you do realise what it takes to be in this sport and although its a fighting combat sport your actual humility and respect for others grows in it
These are 2 of the most classy, ex heavyweight boxing champions of the world who carried themselves with class and dignity throughout. That is what boxing needs now. Can you imagine that giant freak Tyson Fury ever being so respectful in an interview? I can't.
Tyson Fury is just selling the ppv. Plus everyone always thought he would lose and he’s still undefeated… till this day lol. He’s a really down to earth and nice guy when he’s not promoting. Mike Tyson was the same way. Talk about class and call Tyson Fury a freak. That ironic. It’s weird you hate the lineal undefeated true heavyweight of this era. What he do, beat one of your hero’s. Cry some more. Gypsy King laying em all down
Lennox got better with age, which is odd, but that fact almost put him in a different generation of boxers. He beat younger opponents that were too old to be in a fighting prime. He should have fought on, I think he only quit because he was faced with an equal opponent. Age didn't apply but it does for most.
man i wish they'd have let Vitali keep fighting in their match. they really robbed us of a true classic. that's the only Lewis fight i'm aware of that he was getting beat on points, like just out boxed(but he was fighting well himself certain rounds as well)
Both these guys are right and the way it should be. Evander and Lennox are also in good terms with Tyson these days and it's good to see.But the bad blood remains with Lewis and Bowe but it's not Lennox' fault if Riddick still had that distate for him to this day.
And everyone called the second fight controversial and said Holyfield should've won. Also Holyfield was the same age Lewis was when he fought Vitali, and he's always complaining about how past his prime he was for that fight...
Two class act fighters. Evander definitely has fought harder fights than Lewis. He's had so many wars. Which is why he's nick named "Real Deal" and "Warrior". These were two Great Champions. one immediate difference I can think of though is Holyfield never got knocked out in the first or second round like Lewis did.
why is it that coments left by people who never put boxing gloves on...never stepped in a ring...never spared...have the gall to question 2 of the greatest boxers to step in the ring?
You americans hate Lewis, but a near 37 gave a boxing masterclass to a 35 Tyson, and two boxing masterclasses to Holyfield. Some facts: FACT: Lewis knocked out Tyson when Lewis was not far of his 37 birthday (past his prime). FACT: Don King paid Lewis $ 4 Million & Tyson had to give up his WBC title for not facing Lewis in a mandatory defence. FACT: Lewis knocked Ruddock in two rounds, something Tyson had struggled to do in 2 fights. FACT: Lewis beat Holyfield twice yet Tyson could not beat Holyfield in 2 fights. FACT: Lewis rematched and beat the two man who beat him (McCall, Rahman), Tyson did not. FACT: Lewis defeated every professional opponent he faced, one of only three World Heavyweight Champions to do so, altogether with Rocky Marciano and Ingemar Johansson.
They all avoided Lewis, Bowe, Tyson, Holyfield. At least Holyfield fought prime Lewis although I believe Lewis took it too easy on him. Lewis would’ve stopped him with the same spite in the Rahman rematch
This man had the opportunity to interview two legendary heavyweight champions and didn’t even give them the respect of bothering to watch even one of their two fights....if he knew the tiniest bit about the sport he wouldn’t have started off with the most childish question of how many rounds they fought -.- this pathetic excuse of an interviewer should be ashamed and fired.
Karriem Austyn and Lewis beat both 😂😂😂😂 where’s your logic SMH. America even tried to cheat Lewis and made them fight again, still Lewis wins. Why do Americans feel then need to talk shit. Just because you say it, it doesn’t make it real. So how was Holyfield better than Lewis? Let’s hear your facts 😂😂😂
No, he would have beat him. So would Riddick Bowe. They were both too big, outweighing him by 20-30 lbs & 6" in height. I love Mike, but Buster had the blueprint & they were both better than buster
If only everyday people had that same mindset to just move on. This is great. 2 great champions!
Two great guys for sure. Nowadays I like the character of Mike tyson too, he became a nice grandpa
Lewis: We just leave it all in the ring. After that there's no need to each other or fight each other. I like his statement as one of the greatest boxers.
Apart from Bowe
Respect to both of these 'warriors'. Some people are just fighters and others are true 'never give up' warriors.
Lennox Lewis is a perfect warrior. Muscle, intellect and wisdom. He have it all.
Two modern day greats, respect for each other and others
First rule of boxing culture - what happens in the ring STAYS in the ring. They obviously Honour and respect thy rule which is why they both made remarkable champions
Two of the classiest retired boxing champions, in a sport not noted for its classiness.
Two of the greatest heavyweights ever !!!
Shame we have to get old
+A Jones I thought the same thing too.. Lennox actually a

Lennox Lewis is a Rastafarian he sees himself as all smart all wise all strong Lion.

I'd pay big money to see them both beat the shit out of Piers Morgan.
Das Muel why? you Just need jeremy clarckson
Das Muel jajaja.
sign me on that
Das Muel ...ill even loan money from the mafia to pay money have them beat the crap out of morgan
Das Muel, well put Muel.
Lewis is just naturally talented like Holyfield but also just a fair amount bigger. Great competitors
Two guys that threw many thousands of punches in their career, and one guy that deserves many thousands of punches.
Yep. I wud walk a mile to kick Pierse in tje nuts
If you spend 12 rounds trying everything you've got to outwit and knock out your opponent and they're still standing at the end, you've got to have respect for them.
24 Rounds!
2 boxing greats
0:52 I agree with piers........Holyfield is underrated in the intimidation department.......I always thought he was very intimidating. In the Tyson stare downs - he was the one doing the intimidating.
Lewis was a great fighter. He got better with age.
Smartest move he made was hiring Manny Stewart. Stewart brought Lewis to his peak. Lewis had talent and Manny honed it to a fine edge.
+FighterCK
Absolutely.
Emanuel Stewart squeezed the best of Lewis.
Two great champions.
Two greats and gentleman
Two real greats
Lewis best in his era!
and his era was the REAL HEAVYWEİGHT ERA; hollyfield , tyson, mercer, bowe..

respect is very important in blood sports
Evander is truly the dominant fighter of the 90,Even 80,s if one considers his crouserweight bout's.
He was until he grew the balls to fight Lewis
Holyfield you are the best
He couldn’t best Lewis.
@@The_Ex_Boxing_Nerdpast his prime and reach issues😢.
They are like a heavyweight and a welterweight sitting right beside one another.
Lennox Lewis the Greatest heavyweight since Muhammad Ali. 💯

2 of the classiest of all time HOF
Two Incredible Champions... YES!!! TO COOL!!!
Holyfield=Warrior
Lennox is the GOAT

Lewis was different different
One of the only comforts i have in life is knowing that il probably out live piers morgan
Dude, Pierse Morgan should be deported back to England. He is a cunt
Lennox Lewis is dominant😍😍😍
Holyfield 💪 это лучший боксёр 🥊 в истории человечества!!! Я его уважаю ✊ как человека у меня с ним есть общее фото в 2018 году в Киеве

Lennox Lewis beat all of our greatest fighters in the United States. He beat Holyfield, Tyson and Briggs... to name a few.
Beast Inside ring, two perfect gentlemen , No rape, no abusive language.but both are the horrible nightmare of the great boxer Mike Tyson.
Gay
They both know they were as equal as you can have equal,
Both these guys are right and the way it should be. Evander and Lennox are also in good terms with Tyson these days and it's good to see.But the bad blood remains with Lewis and Bowe but it's not Lennox' fault if Riddick still had that distate for him to this day.
Da Truth STOP TELLING LIES! Holyfield resume speaks for itself!!! He's the Best of His Generation..
Lewis beat him though. And the other fight was a controversial draw which everyone including the commentators thought Lewis won.
Holyfield would have beaten Lewis when he was in his prime. Lewis wasn't that great.
And everyone called the second fight controversial and said Holyfield should've won. Also Holyfield was the same age Lewis was when he fought Vitali, and he's always complaining about how past his prime he was for that fight...
no one has ever said Holyfield should have won the second fight lol. it was not controversial at all. Lewis won both matches
@guy8000 "the second fight was VERY controversial"

These were two Great Champions. one immediate difference I can think of though is Holyfield never got knocked out in the first or second round like Lewis did.
Holyfield is a better fighter for sure. In his prime he beats Lewis easy.
why is it that coments left by people who never put boxing gloves on...never stepped in a ring...never spared...have the gall to question 2 of the greatest boxers to step in the ring?
Holyfield got smoked twice by Lewis Americans hate to admit it the brit was by far the superior fighter
James Taylor Lewis was as good as Evander, but bigger.

As all boxing fans know the 15 round fights ended in the eighties. Piers Morgan should do his homework.
The dumb motherless fuck should be deported back to england
Nothing personal ...makes them to sit closer.
Two greats. Tyson wouldn’t lace their boots man
If evander had faced Lewis 10 years earlier I truly believe it would have been a different outcome in favor of evander I believe.
No ......lewis's fighting style stops evander anytime
@@azmainfaiak8111definitely not true.
Holyfeild God of WAR !
Bring back lorry king. He was real class..
True classy guys
lets let Tyson walk in and this show shifts
Politicians are the same. Slug it out in parliament, dine together at their gentleman's club afterwards.
Am i the only one who keep noticing "Holyfield ear" lol
Wouldn't mind seeing them batter Piers Morgan
Lewis destroyed Holyfield who avoided Lewis for years, first fight was the biggest scandal in boxing
They all avoided Lewis, Bowe, Tyson, Holyfield. At least Holyfield fought prime Lewis although I believe Lewis took it too easy on him. Lewis would’ve stopped him with the same spite in the Rahman rematch
That's a dumb untrue statement
Great video but it could do with editing that tosser out on the right

@@coreysmorgan8488 He is pierced in his asshole, you mean?
Holyfield beats Lewis in his prime all day long
Lennox Lewis already beat holyfield in his prime.
Nope. Lewis too damn big. Sorry
Lewis was a paper heavyweight champion, he would of had the shit kick out of him had he fought a younger Tyson.
Lol he'd beat any version of Tyson
No, he would have beat him. So would Riddick Bowe. They were both too big, outweighing him by 20-30 lbs & 6" in height. I love Mike, but Buster had the blueprint & they were both better than buster
Holyfield is the ONLY 4x heavyweight champion ever Lewis got KOd twice and never fought Riddick Bowe for a Mega showdown
He beat everyone he fought and Bowe literally threw his belt in the garbage not to fight him.
THE BEST!👏👏👏👏👏🥊🥊
