- Lennox Lewis was a three-time heavyweight world champion and the most recent heavyweight to hold all of the titles. Lewis first gained recognition after winning the Olympic gold medal when he beat Riddick Bowe in the 1988 finals. He began his ascent through the British rankings which saw him beat his domestic rival, Frank Bruno. As a champion, Lewis is best known for his victories over heavyweight legends like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko. As well as defeating every heavyweight he ever faced and avenging his losses against Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman. Today we take a look at Lewis's career and his journey in becoming one of the best heavyweights in history.
How do you guys think Lewis would fare against today's heavyweights?
He would dominate.
@@RyanMclain he loves dominating men.
@@RyanMclain Yeah pretty much. Beats AJ, Fury, WIlder and Usyk. The whole lot
British limey bias
I think he beats everyone but Wilder. That right hand would find Lennox's chin and it would be another McCall/Rahman situation
Lewis is head to head the most dangerous heavyweight of all time. I have him beating pretty much everyone when he’s focused.
He's a real gorilla brute
I completely agree with you. To me, Lennox is the greatest heavyweight of all time
Yeah
Not ali lad
@@billybarr7443 Ali is quite overated. What if Lewis makes him figt forward? He has no chance against a skillful man with 195cm height and 250 lb weight.
Lennox was the greatest heavyweight to come out of UK. One of the greatest heaveyweight champions of all time! A legend!
How the hell is this not getting more views? Lennox is a legend!
Exactly.
So underrated it's a boxing legend
Size, speed, skill, ring IQ, mental toughness. Lewis had it all, a complete fighter. It would be very hard betting against him
what do you think about against tyson fury?
@@mickeythegent5144 Lewis destroys Fury. He's a way more complete boxing, quicker, more skilled and fought better guys. Fury doesn't have the one punch KO power to put down Lewis like McCall and Rahman did. Even Wilder, who is a trash boxer, was landing on Fury plenty. Just imagine what Lennox would do to him. Would either be a late KO/TKO or a unanimous decision. Even Cunningham and Pajkic dropped Fury
@@bodyediting8847 Lewis wins, but it's not a cake walk, as much as i dislike Fury - He's a very good fighter, 6ft9 275lbs, good skills, great stamina, great power of recovery, very elusive for his size, jab, head-movement, he's a formidable heavyweight, I'd say he's no worse than Vitaly Klitscko who gave Lewis one of his hardest nights (even though lewis was passed his best at that stage), But yeah.. When Fury is in the zone i think he's a handful for anyone.. though i do think Lewis beats him.
Ive always been a huge fan. Easily one of the best ever to lace 'em up. Thanks for the video
Most disrespected heavyweight of all time. You ask someone who the best heavyweight of all time is, and they don’t say Lennox, then they are either telling you the name of their personal favourite fighter, or they don’t know enough about boxing to know the truth: Lennox is the all time HW king.
Absolutely 💯💥
Ali is the King of boxing not lewis or anyone else
@@theinformationbomber7102nope that’s Sugar Ray Robinson
@@vince11harris Ali is the greatest of all time !
Lennox is definitely top 3!
If only Lennox was around today. I'd love to see him knock Fury spark out
Considering how hard Fury is ducking Usyk, he would never get in the ring with Lewis
@@dscide7996 Well said. Fury is the biggest fraud in heavyweight history, he wouldn't go anywhere near Lewis
@@dscide7996 Very true
@@dscide7996true
He is around, he's 60 years old.
I saw Lennox Lewis fight in the 90s and it’s hard to overstate how large of a man he is, but also when he shook my hand and smiled at me, you could tell he was one of the nicest guys you could probably meet
Lennox Lewis could end Joshua easily. AND Usyk.
This channel will soon be a boxing mega channel. Glad to say I was here before it all
Great video, Lennox the true king 🤴🙌
You could always count on Lennox to get the job done. The only heavyweight I know who could land an uppercut 3ce in rapid succession.
Best heavyweight of all time
I once said something in a joking way but at Lennox Lewis's expense to him on Twitter. And he responded to me in the most polite well mannered way and went about making me feel like a complete dark bag. And he was a 100% right. But He did it in a way with love to be honest. And as soon as he said what he said I immediately know what he meant. And I literally felt about an inch tall. I apologized to him and I said from the stay on I will never speak badly to a professional fighter. Is former or current
What did you say?
What did you say ?
There really is a great case for making Lewis the greatest Heavyweight of all time
Heavy hands mixed with athleticism and IQ
We will never KNOW…but I certainly don’t STRUGGLE to ENVISAGE it
The man is a class act.....
The GOAT of hid era
I think a focussed, switched on Stewart coached Lennox beats all the current crop; too big for Usyk and equally skilled, better all round than AJ, jabs Wilder to bits like the equally dangerous Tua and out points Fury in a tactical snooze fest.
his IQ is unrival no questions ask period.
A great champion
Commenting for the algorithm to bring you more viewers
Thanks man, appreciate it 👍
Keep these coming please great job
Prime Lewis beats prime Tyson any day of the week
Bullshit
No chance!!!! Lewis got knocked out in the Catskills by 16 year old Tyson witnessed by 6 people.
@@mattkylie6723 Wasn't Lewis like 16 when that happened?
@@BlueIce607
17 I believe
Even a passed prime lewis would beat Tyson, and i'm not even exaggerating.
Brilliant video!
My first son will be named after him. Lennox ❤❤❤
If only him and Vitali had run it back. What an amazing fight that was. A lot of people thought Vitali would've won
Lewis was old, out of shape and took the fight on two weeks notice, yet he still beat Vitali. Imagine what a prime Lewis with a proper training camp would've done to him
If Lewis was a couple years younger and in better shape/properly prepared, I don't think Vitaly would've won a round. Lewis at his worst and slowest struggled but still ripped vitalys face to ribbons, he also landed the more eye catching shots, Including the best punch of the fight which was the uppercut in round 5. Prime vs Prime Lewis beats up and kos Vitaly. Also.. compare their records and best wins. Vitalys resume doesn't even remotely come close. Vitalys best wins are guys like derek chisora and chris arreola, Lennox's best wins are guys like evander holyfeild, ray mercer, mike tyson, tommy morrison, david tua, razor rudduck.. It's night and day.
@@BiggieBigLnPac lewis doesn't beat nor KOs vitali stop dreaming will you ? lewis is grossly overrated, Vitali would have knocked lewis out and finished his career and lewis wanted to avoid that embarrassment so he didn't face him again
Only the yank especially butthurt Tyson's fans thought like that. Lewis won the fight fair and square. Vitaly' eyes might be in trouble should the fight continued and that could cost him his boxing career afterwards. He should be grateful to the doctor who made the right decision.
@@theinformationbomber7102 The cause of missing the rematch was from both sides as Vitaly who wanted 50% of the payment for the rematch but Lewis disagreed because he thought he as a champion should get more reward. They kept arguing for a year until Lewis's wife came up and tell her man to retire to divorce. Off course, Lewis chose the latter. This can be found in Manny Steward's interview.
Lewis vs Usyk would be one hell of a matchup. I have no idea who even wins that
LOL
Lewis
Lewis obviously, Usyk is not one of the greatest
Usyk because Lewis is 60 years old
one of the greatest heavyweights if not the greatest
🇬🇧🏴🔥
Lennox Lewis thrived on the philosophy, the punch you don’t see is the one that hurts most that’s why he would block his opponents vision with his lead hand and crush them with a hook from the opposite hand. He’s the reason they created the rule that you can’t blind your opponent with your lead hand Anymore
I see you have studied his films📽️
Its still legal if its a punch. Loma does it all the time, tho he uses it to move angle rather than load up like Lewis did
Yes,Lennox Lewis is the best.
He Lennoxed all of them❤❤❤
nice video
where did you find the footage of Lewis doing pads with Manny at the Kronk gym?
The only undisputed champ to never have a title defence lol
Just read the Guardian article where Mr Lewis claims he should be included in the upper echelon of heavyweights along with Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. Total Nonsense. He got nailed and KO'd by Hasim Rahman and was lucky to survive the Klitschko bout (stopped because of Klitschko's cut). He then ducked the rematch with Klitschko and decided, instead, to retire. Lucky to be around when the heavyweight division was mediocre and Lewis was slighty above average.
Nice video. Well done. But please can we put some respect on Evander's name. It's Holy-field, not Holly-field.
My bad, I didn't even realise I'd been saying his name wrong this whole time 😅 Thanks for the comment though, appreciate it!
Yes. Don't forget his head butts as well..
His record wasn’t tarnished by Mcall the referee stopped the fight prematurely. In their second fight was Mcall maybe convicted by his faith to stop fighting? Or was it something else?
It is time. For the final statement. Of The One. Current Times.
Beast
I wish channels would create their own thumbnail styles. You should want to stand out and be associated with your work rather than be mistaken for another larger creator.
Appreciate the comment man, but I've been making thumbnails in this style since I started, and before I even knew who you were. Any similarities are not intentional. I try to maintain the same colour scheme across my thumbnails/logo.
He was the best
Those measured and spiteful upper cuts were devastating and concussive. Lewis was many things but never wasteful with his punches like many of the crop of heavyweights in his era
GOAT
who should we really choose?
Fury Or Lewis?
Is that even a question 😂😂
@@sadnank7089 just kidding brotha, i know it's Lewis
I have onlu one doubt - Riddick Bowe...thats it..otherwise I am convinced totally That this guy is the GOAT - reason are simple...reach speed and above all INTELLIGENCE
Im 6'6 im gonna be the next Lennox Lewis for real. Yall will hear about me.
Its Holyfield not Hollyfield
It's it's not its
@@travzimmerman1340 the difference is I was writing quickly, but I know about grammar, I’ve got a degree in English language and literature. But when he’s been saying a name wrong for 30 years as have all the British media, then there’s a problem, it means they can’t read.
I'm tired of flip flopping around, I think it's time to actually be consistent at this.
I'd love to but look at my views.... putting in dozens of hours into making these vids just isn't worth it anymore
He beat them all
Jesus loves you 🙂
Not anymore, too bad alphabet politics got Usyk stripped though.
West hams finest. He'd beat them all 2day no problems...... Hope your well lion n enjoying retirement.....😊
Lennox have Jamaican blood what do you expect
He's the last undisputed because Fury and Usyk didn't fight yet.
It doesn't look like they ever will at this point lmao
Yes. Only for 20 years 😅
@@walkawaycat431 Hey unless Fury does something stupid or Usyk gets injured on training camp,they'll fight on Feb 17th. To counter your argument about 20 years,remember the Klitschko bros had all 4 belts for at least 5 years,but they wouldn't fight each other for the undisputed title.
@@calinmarian98 When it happens, it happens. Still doesn't take away from Lennox Lewis's greatness.
Please I want watch video EFE AJAGBA
why undesputed? he lost 2 times! Mc Call and Rahman both bet him!
He avenged both those fights! Who else, besides Rocky Marciano, beat every man they EVER faced in the heavyweight division. You're hilarious and showing your ignorance.
He retired with all the belts.
Lewis has always been a poor man’s Anthony Joshua. AJ is just bigger, quicker, more skilled with a better chin. You can’t deny that.
😂
😂😂😂😂
I’m going easy on you here, but if you switch boxers names in your comment then it would be true.
I’m guessing you’re too young to have seen Lewis dominate the HW division and become an ATG ..
One of the most effective fighters I’ve ever seen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Deluded,aj as a glass jaw,andy ruise showed what hes all bout,lewis,will always be a legend,aj,just a leg,,end 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As much as I rate Lewis, Big Vit would have beat him that night, and any other after that, VK was the most underrated HW of his generation
But he didn't, did he?
@@walkawaycat431 he did but he got robbed
@@theinformationbomber7102 No. He got his eye mutilated. Call him "Stitchko" 😂🤣
@@walkawaycat431 whatever you say doesn't change anything
lewis was the one who was behind on the scorecards not vitali but still they robbed vitali from the win
lewis is the most overrated boxer in history
@@theinformationbomber7102 Lewis found a way to come back, just like he always did..
Tyson would've brutalized Lewis if they had fought in the late eighties
Lewis wasn't in his prime in the eighties, so yeah you're probably right
Lewis will easily take out overrated trash tyson
@@TypicalIndian1981 Tyson KOs any version of lewis
Yeah, Lennox good fighter but let’s be real, give Tommy Fury time and when we look back you’ll all realise just how average Lennox was. To even say Lennox’s name in the conversation as one of the greatest British boxers ever, let alone worldwide when Anthony Joshua and Tommy are pro’s is embarrassing!
WTF? Are you insane? Lennox fought in arguably the best division in history, the 90's. You're hilarious. And beat them all. How old are you?
Holyfield and Mercer gave him the hardest fights of his life.
Undisputed coward in boxing! That's exactly Lennox Lewis!!!
Massive homosexual.
He literally has a wife
What? :)))
