My comment exactly. A Tommy in his prime and Lennox would of have a match, not saying Tommy would of won but it would of been a lot closer and possibly even won it.
mills lane.... god, that guy!! im 45 and i saw soooo many fights as a kid and in my teens that mills lane reffed. Hearing the name "Mills Lane" was as famous as hearing the fighters names!!!
Mills Lane was a closeted fruitcake 😂 Who you trying to fool ? Mills Lane would have refereed for free , so long as he could be around those hulking , sweaty dark muscular men . Read you history
Lennox was just another level type fighter complete fighter boxer and slugger great body control footwork amazing jab and power lennox fought em all didnt duck no one but was ducked for years and years the true goat with ali as greatest heavyweight of all time.
He gave some stuff to my local charity shop in Muswell Hill years ago . I spotted some huge trainers in the window for sale. I told big Matt 6'8" . Too big :) the old ladies told him that Lewis brought them. 😁
Slugger more like, lots of heart but anybody who could stand up to his phsyicality and box caused him issues. He did win a lot of fights though, so maybe I'm being picky!
I agree. That beating he took from Ray toward the end of the fight was terrible. The ref shouldn’t have allowed it to go as far as it did. And you’re right that Tommy wasn’t the same fighter after that.
Morrison had a big heart, but Lennox was much the classier fighter here, slowly breaking Tommy down. The commentary was dodgy, sometimes I thought I was watching a different fight!
Lennox under the tutelage of Emmanuel Stewart was an absolute beast. The only way one could beat him, was like McCall and Rachman did: set him up, time him, and level him to the chin. But his (Lewis’) defense was really good. As for Morrison, he just couldn’t hang with the big boys of the heavyweight division. He was a B fighter at best, but very entertaining.
@@Shaun-f1n Lewis was actually standing with his gloves raised to his chin in the defensive positioning when the ref prematurely called the fight against McCall
@WayneGoWest😂😂 lol, love tommy but based on what is this, tommy would have a punchers chance but he never had the chin to take his own punch, and he wasnt near the boxer Tyson was, he could box at times but his style itself was based on Tyson's and he coukdnt move the same
@WayneGoWest 🥷🏾 , the tillis Morrison fought was an overweight outta prime 90s version, like most of the milksops everyone fought Tyson had already beat, he fought Pinklon Thomas too that tyson had already destroyed, everyone fought guys tyson had already beat, it aint no fantasy, i aint saying hes the greatest boxer, youre just mad biased, Tommy doesnt have the chin or skillset to withstand Tyson, his style is literally based of Tysons style, the Cus Dmato number system getcha fax straight
@WayneGoWest 🥷🏾, the Tillis morrison fought was an overweight outta prime 90s version just like most of the milksops everyone fought after Tyson destroyed, he beat an old pinklon thomas that Tyson had destroyed, everyone fought Tysons leftovers, Morrison doesnt have the chin or skillset to beat a Tyson, his style literally based of tysons, the cus dmato system, i aint sayinf tyson the greatest but morrison aint the one to beat em
Tommy was no joke! Definitely a force to be reckoned with. But Lennox was way too good. He has always been such an amazing tactician. Tough to beat a fighter like that. Tommy was simply OUT-BOXED.
I grew up on John Wayne and Tommy calling himself the Duke you can't help but like him. Tommy is(was)a true Champ. Lenox doesn't get the credit he deserves for beating some of the best fights that laced up.
The collection of heavyweights of this generation were far superior to most today I’d put Morrison , tua , mercer against the current top 3 heavyweights today And these fighters were never even in top 3 heavyweights of the 90s
@@Bruh71734 Maybe. But I doubt it. There was such a difference between hvy and mddl in the past compared to today.. I think Alex would've come unstuck with quite a few middle weights from past era's. Never know though. Bless you and takecare from U.K.
@@norfolkronin6307 olyxander got a lot to prove since these heavy weights here are great but i know he will humiliate fury in their rematch but we will see
I may be mistaken, but pretty sure Lennox has the longest Reach in Recorded history for a Heavy weight. Only chance Morrison had was to move inside and hope to land a knock out. But Lennox was incredibly agile with excellent footwork
Unfortunately Tommy never reached anywhere near his potential because he partied hard, drank too much and even by this fight was a drug user. He could have been way better than this effort.
This was the last elite era for boxers at heavyweight where the best fought the best there was Lennox Lewis Tommy Morrison Ray Mercer Evander Holyfield Mike Tyson and Razer Rudduck all fighting each other unlike todays crop who just take easy opponents for a quick payday
I think Lennox was one of the best all time heavy weights, but he got Tommy Morrison on the comeback here and Tommy never really got back to the form of his earlier days. Now that would of been an interesting bout. Tommy at this stage wasn't the fighter he was.
In reality, nobody wanted that smoke. Bowe and Tyson both vacated a belt so they didn't have to fight Lewis. Hell, Tyson paid Lewis $4,000,000 step-aside money. Learn the sport before you post.
Morrison is my favorite boxer for in-ring action and just in general, but that being said it wasn't the fault of Lewis that Morrison partied all night and lost focus just prior to being upset by Michael Bentt. This Morrison/Lewis fight was supposed to happen a couple of years earlier had Morrison only maintained professionalism and taken care of his tune-up fight, rather than getting TKO'd and having to slowly work his way back into contention.
Okay I'm a little buzzed but why do they use little old men as referees and boxing😅😅😅😅 like who do they think they're going to break up😅😅😅😅 those referees would not survive in MMA😅😅😅
Don't underestimate Judge Mills Lane he got Tyson off Hollyfield after the ear chomp. And don't forget he was in all the bouts of the Celebrity Death match... He's tough
See how mills was onto that cheat Lewis. Usually Lewis gets in 20 holding and hitting shots every round. See him pushing down but getting warned. Mills was a great reff
Is this the most meaningless comment ever? Dude it was a one sided fight. Lewis was pushing Morrison down as well, but some of the back of the head calls was a bit harsh.

Tommy Morrison, we will always remember you! And of course, Lewis, what a great boxer.
I forgot all about Tommy Morrison till you brought him up 🤷♂️
Will always remember the ray mercer knock out
Tommy was in his rough and darkest times in this fight. RIP Champ
He wasn’t the same agent the Ray Mercer fight.

Unfortunately Tommy never reached anywhere near his potential because he partied hard, drank too much and even by this fight was a drug user. He could have been way better than this effort.
Concordo com vc! Ele não dedicou-se ao boxe, poderia estar entre os melhores ou até ser o melhor quem sabe
