Lewis is my favorite all time boxer ever. That right hand behind the jab is just legendary. Can't get enough of Lewis fights. Greatest of all time imo.
I judge a pugilist in & out of the ring. The Lion was 6'5 250 of serious chocolate muscle. Lived a clean, drama free life. Didn't abuse women, & retired with a $100 million plus net worth. Great narrative for a son of a Jamaican immigrant. My favorite pugilist ever!!!
I use this fight to explain what the outcome of lewis bowe would have been mate ... look at the beating bowe took off golota .. no wonder bowe ran from lewis his entire career ..
@@bobfrost2843 It is interesting. Golota set up well for Lewis. Lewis throws power behind his straight punches and Golota's column defensive style is terrible to stop those punches. If he pushes his arms together, Lewis hits with hooks. If he separates his arms, Lewis hits him with straight shots. Golota didn't set up well for Bowe. Bowe's jab is a little slow and Golota beat him to the bunch. Bowe was a better inside fighter than Lennox but that didn't help him with Golota. Lewis v Bowe and Tyson v Bowe settle the 90's boxing debate and us 90's boxing fans were robbed of that.
I think this is the fight that Lewis wanted to prove to everyone that Bowe was ducking him. And taking Bowe's toughest opponent out in half a round is a pretty good way of doing it.
@Michael Jagger He really is. Anyone who truly knows boxing and has studied its history knows how hard the 90s heavyweight divisions were for any brand. Lennox fought them all and avenged his only losses and was willing to fight anyone at anytime. How can't he be considered the best?
Lewis had a special style, which can be seen in slow motion. Other boxers sometimes attack furiously but most of the hits miss. Lewis seems to aim better and 8 of 10 beats hits almost perfect.
The HW division has never been the same since Lewis Retired. I'm not just talking about Lewis, but also the quantity of quality ranked HW fighters around at the time compared to now.
I can’t argue you that with you. Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson and Mercer are better than Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes and Norton. On another note, these commentators were always so biased with Golota. Racist? Idk. It makes me sick how they loved him when he should have been banned from boxing. Wish Lewis would have tortured him through 12 rounds.
Hard to say. Fight with Tyson didnt work like 2-3 times before. Money, place, etc. To see who rly was best they should fought each other few times, not only once. Just like Golovkin with Canelo. Gołota should have fight on abrasion after two lossys with Bowe, not straightly with Lennox. Money and politic break soul of boxing. And now its only wishes. Before would win Tyson, later Lennox, so hard to say who rly was best. Still this was great times for boxing.
Laughed when the commentator said he favoured Golota because Lewis looked calm and wasn’t worked up. Lewis was always at his most dangerous when he looked calm before and after the bell.
Also, how did he say Lewis "looked calm". Lewis at the ring announcement gave one of the scariest death stares I've ever seen. That was a man ready to fuck somebody up. And it didn't even take him 3 minutes to do it.
One of the greatest heavyweights of all time lenox Lewis... absolute belting technique.. jab was spot on, he had a belting knock out punch... underrated. People talk a lot of shit when it comes to boxing but if you actually watch and analyse a boxer you will learn
@@dsaint9264 spot on rkid.... Riddick Bowe was frightened to death of lewis, like most boxers them days....and to be fair who wouldn't be.... the man was an animal.... far too many dismiss lenox yet if they actually analyse him they will realise how good he was
@@xxcrump3575 not many English lads I know think Lewis was a great boxer.. I think they all take exception to the fact that he was brought up in Canada for part of his life... plus the fact that half of them know fuck all about boxing... thats why I said hes underrated
Galota's face when Lewis knocks him down with that combo is ace. "WTF just happened? I'm going to bust his ass now!" Lewis knocks him down again. "Nah, I'm done." 🤣🤣🤣
Still remember watching this fight and thinking it was a dangerous fight for Lennox after seeing Golota vs Bowe. Lennox came out and blasted him away obviously seen something that no one else did.
Golota almost died after the match. His heart stopped and he was revived via CPR due to a lidocaine injection his doctor gave him before the match. Which probably explains the look on his face after the knock-down.
Lewis’ willingness to brawl n toughness is underrated. He is a hit me n I hit u back fighter which gets swept under the rug because his Olympic gold set the narrative of a technician n the 2 losses. He had true grit which made him so eager to get back in the ring and avenge his losses…. 6’5 240-250 tough, top tier power, strong, pinpoint accuracy n quickness. I put Lennox against anyone.

Golota was injected with lidocaine, a powerful painkiller, before the bout in an attempt to stave off knee pain.Golota had a seizure in the locker room about 15 minutes after the obut ended, during which he stopped breathing and was without a pulse for about 30 seconds. After being revived by cardiopulmonary resuscitation and rushed to the hospital, Golota's condition was upgraded to stable and he eventually made a full recovery. Golota was fined $5,000 for allowing the lidocaine injection. Golota filed a $21 million lawsuit against the doctor who administered the shot. The case was settled out of court for around $1 million[5]
+C_R_O_M__________ There is many sources out there, here is one : boxrec.com/media/index.php/Lennox_Lewis_vs._Andrew_Golota I knew a guy that worked out at the same gym in Chicago as Golota and he said the doctor who injected him also bet heavily against Golota. Andrew was a major head case and was his worst enemy.
Innocent? Nah, he looked relaxed. He's one of the most relaxed boxers I've ever seen. In this fight he looked as calm as someone who's getting a haircut or grabbing a cup of coffee. A very smooth and technically excellent fighter with prodigious power to boot. One of the all-time greats for sure.
I'm American and I love Lennox Lewis. My dad and uncles were all about Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson etc...I was the only Lewis fan. He's the greatest heavyweight of his era and in my opinion, at his peak Lewis beats every heavyweight ever, except one. Tyson Fury. Size, power, great jab, good looking, great accent, what's not to love about Lennox Lewis. I never agreed with my fellow fat Americans on this one. Must've been they was jealous cause he beat all of our best American fighter's of that era.
I think Lewis beats Fury, I mean a laser focused Lewis like this. Fury would get under Lewis's skin and that would seal Fury's fate as a motivated Lewis was the best heavyweight of all time. I think Fury is #2 of all time. Fury struggled with a crude boxer like Wilder who would have fallen in sections in 1-2 rounds against Lewis

Golota was a monster, a low blow specialist. He was no stranger to the DQ but when he was disciplined he looked good and definitely had technique but he would just sabotage himself. Golota caused a lot of problems for Bowe but outclassed by Lewis before Golota had time to get DQ'd.
Except that Botha got over confident after successfully handling Tyson in previous rounds, forgetting that Tyson was still dangerous. One lucky blow ended the fight.
Bowe 's way to fight is different . And galotta's way to fight different . Vitaly Klitschko beat shit out of Lewis. Actually the ref saves him . Vitaly wasn't fast . But so powerful. Lewis was stunt . The same way bowe he is tall enough and have much more power . Lewis is one of the greatest fighter no doubt in it . But it doesn't mean he was unstoppable .
@The Geek Is Strong I think Bowe wouldn't mind fighting Lewis after a bit controversial decision in 88 Olympic final. However, his manager Frank Newman seemed to be afraid of losing to Lewis, esp after seeing how Lewis destroyed Donovan Ruddock previously.
@@pushkaranprasanth4687 no, Lewis's general safety style is all wrong for tyson. It would be a tough fight. I agree with your statement that styles make fights but klitschko would get put down by prime lewis.
LL was a great fighter. He had the height and a long reach. His jabs were quick and would throw off his opponents. He had a great sneaky left and would hit like a brick 🧱 with his right to finish. Definitely on the top 10 of all time. LL can also take a hit ..
Why did he not fight anyone really bid like Bowe or Foreman? Because he ONLY fought people he clearly thought he could easily beat like Golota. Golota looks tough but has a chin of glass. James Toney could have beat Lewis I am certain.
I knew as far back as the Gary Mason fight that Lennox Lewis was the best heavyweight in the world. It was just a case of the rest of world catching on. The reason I knew he was the best because the world had Never seen a guy with his Size, boxing ability and power. He really is one of a kind a guy that big with that boxing abilty and the punching power, when hes on top form hes literally impossible to beat. HOW DO YOU BEAT A GIUY LIKE THAT? No one ever did when like I said was fighting 4 real. He proved in the Amateurs in the Olympics that he was the worlds number one and after this everyone was just WOW.
Lennox was a conservative fighter most of the time. But there were times he could erupt like a volcano and just blow someone out of there like they were nothing. He must have had a hot date after this fight and said I ain't even fooling around with this dude, I've always heard he was disgusted with Golota over the low blows against Bowe, despite the fact he never really liked Riddick. It showed. He went after Golota like Golota insulted his mother.
Not sure how Lewis isn't considered one of the all-time greats! He KO'ed the only guys who ever beat him in rematches as well. When he was focused, he was almost unbeatable.
When he was focused, he also was able to use his opponent punch as a boomerang by precise reflex avoding move that caused his opponent went down and counted by the referee to stop the fight. The fight I mean is against Shannon Briggs. I have never seen such a moment. That fight is my favorive one of Lewis, really entertaining.
Albo ręką albo noga boli, ponoć zastrzyk przeciwbólowy dostał bo go noga bolała i to go osłabiło.To po jaki chuj do ringu się pchasz? Są spokojniejsze zajęcia.
Szkoda Andrzeja, miał wszystko prócz psychiki. Jemu trzeba było 1-2 rund w tej walce, żeby złapać rytm i zgubić strach. Lewis o tym wiedział i nie miał zamiaru czekać, zrobił swoje.
he took all his frustrations of Bowe ducking him out in this fight, everyone knew Bowe struggled with Golota so Lennox showed us what would have happened
it doesn't seem like many people remember here that Golota took medicines that put him out of the shape affecting even his movements (unnatural behavior was noticed by his team before the fight). After the fight he fainted in the cloakroom. It looks like Lennox has an easier task than he would normally have.
This version of Lewis would destroy Fury. Fury does not carry a knock out threat and has been put down by small guys. The standard of Heavyweights in the 90s was much higher than it is now.
Can you imagine what Riddick Bowe thought when he watched this fight? Watching the same guy who destroyed him get blown out of the ring in 90 seconds by Lewis had to have destroyed his soul. May have been the reason he never made a serious comeback.
Najlepszą walkę Lewisowi dał Vitali Klitschko (zakończył jego karierę), zaraz po nim Evander Holyfield- znalazł techniczny sposób na zremisowanie z Lewisem. Zwycięstwa McCalla i Rahmana były trochę przypadkowe, w rewanżu pokazał im twardo kto rządzi w wadze ciężkiej.
Im a big mike tyson fan, but lennox lewis "the lion" was just so much better a boxer than mike. Lewis could have been a heavyweight champ in any era. Respect to both
I remember how much I haaaaattttteeeeddd Golata at this time, I cheered so damn loudly for Lennox Lewis. Then again, he was one of my favorites to begin with.
I was at this fight in AC & will never forget how a lot of Golota fans (drunk probably) were going around wailing away & punching at people in the stands being upset & angry their boy got KO'd. It was pretty scary - my co- worker & I were lucky to get out if there without getting hurt.
@@armi269 He wasn't too strong for Buster Douglas was he? I suppose you'll come out with the usual tired old excuses, D'Amoto had passed, Rooney was fired bla bla bla, do you not see or understand that Buster was the first man to show no fear against him, to actually fight him, to keep him at the end of his jab and skillfully pick him apart, and have the courage to get up off his backside and win?

I knew a guy that worked out at the same gym in Chicago as Golota and he said the doctor who injected him also bet heavily against Golota. Andrew was a major head case and was his worst enemy.
No wonder face his expression was weird as fck lol
*Lennox Lewis was injected with talent* .
lennox basically said I aint gonna wait for you to punch me in the nuts lol
That was his best performance ever.
Lewis looked innocent but dangerous
100%
He looked like a serial killer.
Innocent? Nah, he looked relaxed. He's one of the most relaxed boxers I've ever seen. In this fight he looked as calm as someone who's getting a haircut or grabbing a cup of coffee. A very smooth and technically excellent fighter with prodigious power to boot. One of the all-time greats for sure.
True dat, Lennox believe in the saying, speak softly, but carry a big stick, he knew he had the Right Stuff.
LL => Most underrated boxer ever ! Just my 2 Cents....
@Jedi Knight
Oh dear me lol
"..Lewis was better than anyone ever..."
baaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa
Lewis only had 2 losses and he avenged them both . Dude was pure class
He's not underrated at all. Top 5 all time in most lists.
Clearly you’re not a sweet science fan Lennox is highly rated 🤦🏻♂️😂
@Jedi Knight right this is the first I've ever heard him being underrated lol.
"I'm not a die-hard lewis fan,but he fought everybody they put in front of him". I lost a lot of money betting against him.
he was retired by Vitaliy KLIT
@@wazupdowgs yes messed up Klitchko's face
I won a lot of money betting on him..lol..
I kinda always senced he was a bit special
@@garymott8745 he had great focus.which is more important than intensity.tyson had the most intensity
@@wazupdowgs 38 yr old lewis won tho 🤦♂️
Crush. Kill. DESTROY!
That was in Lennox mind before, during & after. That noise when Golota got dropped 1st time. That was in his head! Static. .
Two classes of boxer. Clearly.
I'm American and I love Lennox Lewis. My dad and uncles were all about Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson etc...I was the only Lewis fan. He's the greatest heavyweight of his era and in my opinion, at his peak Lewis beats every heavyweight ever, except one. Tyson Fury. Size, power, great jab, good looking, great accent, what's not to love about Lennox Lewis. I never agreed with my fellow fat Americans on this one. Must've been they was jealous cause he beat all of our best American fighter's of that era.
I think Lewis beats Fury, I mean a laser focused Lewis like this. Fury would get under Lewis's skin and that would seal Fury's fate as a motivated Lewis was the best heavyweight of all time.
I think Fury is #2 of all time. Fury struggled with a crude boxer like Wilder who would have fallen in sections in 1-2 rounds against Lewis
Lewis without a doubt one of the greatest…
10:52 "Lennox Lewis looks like he's not only beating down Golota, he's beating down everybody who ever doubted him in the ring!"
Golota was injected with lidocaine, a powerful painkiller, before the bout in an attempt to stave off knee pain. Golota had a seizure in the locker room about 15 minutes after the bout ended, during which he stopped breathing and was without a pulse for about 30 seconds. After being revived by cardiopulmonary resuscitation and rushed to the hospital, Golota's condition was upgraded to stable and he eventually made a full recovery. Golota was fined $5,000 for allowing the lidocaine injection. Golota filed a $21 million lawsuit against the doctor who administered the shot. The case was settled out of court for around $1 million
Damn... thanks! Glad Golata got a check
That some rich doc that could cover that
Lewis is so smart for this. Finding something in his game and absolutely brutal in the biggest fight of his career.
I salute Golota for fighting such a lovely, clean fight, even though the stakes were high! A true gentleman.
Lewis, one of the most elegant fighters of all the times.
My pops is the cop escorting Lennox Louis out there pretty dope 💪🏾
Co to mialo byc ?
It was shocking to see how Lenox stayed absolutely calm and in only this short show of Lenox's skills he didn't have time to sweat.
Golota was a monster, a low blow specialist. He was no stranger to the DQ but when he was disciplined he looked good and definitely had technique but he would just sabotage himself. Golota caused a lot of problems for Bowe but outclassed by Lewis before Golota had time to get DQ'd.
A monster of mediocrity. A big guy who could only KO nobodies.
Even a warrior like Evander Holyfield was shocked at Lennox Lewis`s physical strength.
I'm not.
Even a confirmed steroid user like evader Holyfield was shocked that Lennox was stronger.
@@SKa-tt9nm Holyfield beat Lewis no question in my mind.
Lewis did to Golota,Tucker, Botha and Ruddock what Tyson couldn't do.
Except that Botha got over confident after successfully handling Tyson in previous rounds, forgetting that Tyson was still dangerous. One lucky blow ended the fight.
can see why bowe didnt want to fight lennox golota was killing bowe
Bowe 's way to fight is different . And galotta's way to fight different . Vitaly Klitschko beat shit out of Lewis. Actually the ref saves him . Vitaly wasn't fast . But so powerful. Lewis was stunt . The same way bowe he is tall enough and have much more power . Lewis is one of the greatest fighter no doubt in it . But it doesn't mean he was unstoppable .
@The Geek Is Strong I think Bowe wouldn't mind fighting Lewis after a bit controversial decision in 88 Olympic final. However, his manager Frank Newman seemed to be afraid of losing to Lewis, esp after seeing how Lewis destroyed Donovan Ruddock previously.
@@pushkaranprasanth4687 lewis was unprepared, overweight and pushing 40 lmao a prime lewis takes klitschko out
@@yalexander9432 ahhh prime Lewis right??? So would you agree that the prime Mike would take Lewis easily out??
@@pushkaranprasanth4687 no, Lewis's general safety style is all wrong for tyson. It would be a tough fight. I agree with your statement that styles make fights but klitschko would get put down by prime lewis.
Definitely one of the greatest of all time any era
LL was a great fighter. He had the height and a long reach. His jabs were quick and would throw off his opponents. He had a great sneaky left and would hit like a brick 🧱 with his right to finish. Definitely on the top 10 of all time. LL can also take a hit ..
Why did he not fight anyone really bid like Bowe or Foreman? Because he ONLY fought people he clearly thought he could easily beat like Golota. Golota looks tough but has a chin of glass. James Toney could have beat Lewis I am certain.
@@htechdancethe same Golota that was easily beating Bowe in both their fights until he was disqualified for low blows?
Excellent video my dearest friend
Fully watched and stay blessed
I knew as far back as the Gary Mason fight that Lennox Lewis was the best heavyweight in the world. It was just a case of the rest of world catching on. The reason I knew he was the best because the world had Never seen a guy with his Size, boxing ability and power. He really is one of a kind a guy that big with that boxing abilty and the punching power, when hes on top form hes literally impossible to beat. HOW DO YOU BEAT A GIUY LIKE THAT? No one ever did when like I said was fighting 4 real. He proved in the Amateurs in the Olympics that he was the worlds number one and after this everyone was just WOW.
Lot of people forget that Golota was actually the favorite coming into this fight.
This is why Lennox Lewis my uncle is my inspiration and favourite boxer
When Lewis knocked Golota on his A$$ the look on Golotas face was PRICELESS!!!!
Lennox was a conservative fighter most of the time. But there were times he could erupt like a volcano and just blow someone out of there like they were nothing. He must have had a hot date after this fight and said I ain't even fooling around with this dude, I've always heard he was disgusted with Golota over the low blows against Bowe, despite the fact he never really liked Riddick. It showed. He went after Golota like Golota insulted his mother.
@@joshlight6892 😂😂😂
And so was tyson he on the ground looking up at the ceiling bleeding Lol😂😂
When Lewis destroyed tyson
😂😂😂😂👍
@@earth7551
I could have destroyed Tyson at that time in his career.
Andrzej nie miał niestety psychiki wojownika a szkoda, bo fizycznie spokojnie miał predyspozycję na mistrza świata.
Not sure how Lewis isn't considered one of the all-time greats! He KO'ed the only guys who ever beat him in rematches as well. When he was focused, he was almost unbeatable.
He is considered an all time great, just not to the Americans.
When he was focused, he also was able to use his opponent punch as a boomerang by precise reflex avoding move that caused his opponent went down and counted by the referee to stop the fight. The fight I mean is against Shannon Briggs. I have never seen such a moment. That fight is my favorive one of Lewis, really entertaining.
Gołota myślał, że on będzie z nim rozmawiał, a on go zaczął bić.
hahaha :D
Suchar
XD
cytat z Dańca
Как любой полик
Albo ręką albo noga boli, ponoć zastrzyk przeciwbólowy dostał bo go noga bolała i to go osłabiło.To po jaki chuj do ringu się pchasz? Są spokojniejsze zajęcia.
If he could manage to knock lewis out ,no one should mention that he had a problem with his leg ,these are false claims after a loss .
I was mindfucked when this fight happened and Golota was the favourite.
Lennox is a true boxer I have one of his autographed my first cousin was the IBF middle weight champion of the world
Szkoda Andrzeja, miał wszystko prócz psychiki. Jemu trzeba było 1-2 rund w tej walce, żeby złapać rytm i zgubić strach. Lewis o tym wiedział i nie miał zamiaru czekać, zrobił swoje.
miał respekt ale jak troche wybadał Andrzeja w ringu to poszedł na całość
4.24 to wina illuminati
Wstyd i tyle
nie jest wstydem przegrać z kimś takimś jak L.L.
@@darekmaj5291 to nie wstyd tylko życie .
Lewis was a great boxser's of the world
Lennox, if not the best he must be one of the best fighters of all time in heavey weight category.
he took all his frustrations of Bowe ducking him out in this fight, everyone knew Bowe struggled with Golota so Lennox showed us what would have happened
Lewis is recognised a a better fighter after he was retired than he was during his career. Imagine Lewis in his prime fighting today
Pỏor Golota never got started. No punches landed.
Lewis was the best in the 90s
it doesn't seem like many people remember here that Golota took medicines that put him out of the shape affecting even his movements (unnatural behavior was noticed by his team before the fight). After the fight he fainted in the cloakroom. It looks like Lennox has an easier task than he would normally have.
Golota was a cowardly dirty bum. A can.
Pamiętam ta walkę z teleekspresu :D
Lennox Lewis is a cool headed clever boxer of all times 👍
Lennox always a gentleman, quietly spoken, but what a puncher, one of boxing's good guys, destroyed Golata, who was a big strong unit, fabulous finish
The amount of disrespect from the American commentators is simply disgraceful.
Lewis at his best ...one of the all time greats ..
Wow. What a fight it would be between Lewis and fury... two of my all time best heavy weights
Lewis in a different league to fury and all the current top heavies for that matter👍
@@stuartrhodes7352 Lewis was a great champion....but so is fury....I rate them both equally..
This version of Lewis would destroy Fury. Fury does not carry a knock out threat and has been put down by small guys. The standard of Heavyweights in the 90s was much higher than it is now.
@@MrBmd123 .... that's a very good point ..I think I would put my money on Lewis.
You don't get to be great with one defense of title,
Prime Lewis was pretty much untouchable.
So he was out of prime against Rahman?
Can you imagine what Riddick Bowe thought when he watched this fight? Watching the same guy who destroyed him get blown out of the ring in 90 seconds by Lewis had to have destroyed his soul. May have been the reason he never made a serious comeback.
After second fight with gołota he has brain damage that's why he never come back ofc he did for money but he wasn't same anymore.
Najlepszą walkę Lewisowi dał Vitali Klitschko (zakończył jego karierę), zaraz po nim Evander Holyfield- znalazł techniczny sposób na zremisowanie z Lewisem. Zwycięstwa McCalla i Rahmana były trochę przypadkowe, w rewanżu pokazał im twardo kto rządzi w wadze ciężkiej.
Klitschko może i wygrał ale często walczył tylko dla wyniku, nudne były jego walki
@@adam.l7946 klitshiko lost lol and Lennox was old
Красавчик Ленокс хороший боксер был в свои годы когда выступал!!!! Респект ему!!!
Lewis terganas abad ini
Im a big mike tyson fan, but lennox lewis "the lion" was just so much better a boxer than mike. Lewis could have been a heavyweight champ in any era. Respect to both
Depends on what you consider better. Tyson made this guy give up and nearly leave crying. Just different styles.
He fight vs lower version of Tyson.
Tyson in his prime will k.o Lewis
I remember how much I haaaaattttteeeeddd Golata at this time, I cheered so damn loudly for Lennox Lewis. Then again, he was one of my favorites to begin with.
Too easy... But Lewis was really Great🙌🌟
Lewis was frightening that night. He was in a ruthless mood.
Golota could have had a much more successful; distinguished, career if only he had more self belief and confidence in himself and his ability
are you serious......... phil?
I am not saying he could have been a Champion but he could have gone further, I don't feel he did himself justice ? I may be wrong ?
I think thats a fair point. yeah. I also think another problem he has is, hes just not fierce enough.
Phil Boardman ..and .yeah if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle.
By "self belief and confidence in himself and his ability," do you mean better aim?
Polak przed walką wutki się napił zamiast wody!
I was at this fight in AC & will never forget how a lot of Golota fans (drunk probably) were going around wailing away & punching at people in the stands being upset & angry their boy got KO'd. It was pretty scary - my co- worker & I were lucky to get out if there without getting hurt.
That's the fastest knock out for Lennox... Kudos Lennox ...
Lewis, and, Holyfield were the greatest boxers of their time.
Mike Tyson is better, dont be biased
@@kingmustapha4473 Iron Mike fought them twice each with a 100% record , losses, I don't get your logic as its obviously a biased one.
@@francishegarty8087 Tyson fight holyfield after prison for 3 years and after his trainer who make his champ death. Iron tyson was too strong
@@armi269 He wasn't too strong for Buster Douglas was he? I suppose you'll come out with the usual tired old excuses, D'Amoto had passed, Rooney was fired bla bla bla, do you not see or understand that Buster was the first man to show no fear against him, to actually fight him, to keep him at the end of his jab and skillfully pick him apart, and have the courage to get up off his backside and win? Lennox Lewis beat him and he's a year older, he beat Holyfield twice who beat Tyson twice, he smashed Razor Ruddock in 2 rds, who gave Tyson bags of trouble in 2 fights and you still think Tyson was too strong?
@@francishegarty8087 reffere helped douglas, tyson ko douglas for 13 seconds it was already over but refeere counted 9 seconds lul, lennox prime was ~30 yrs and tyson 20, big diff, in spar mach tyson beated lennox in tyson prime
Omg golotas face when he first lands..
Lennox beat him fair and square, if Lewis had trained for a full 12 weeks it would have been more comprehensive. In my opinion, not that matters!
NICE ONE CHAMP ! LENNOX LEWIS IS THE G.O.A.T.
Cztery miliony dalem za bilet, Ogolocili mnie!!!
endrju kaman, załatw asfalta!
I Agree
"Nie ma już ani jednego policjanta w Atlantic City"
I always knew Lennox Lewis would go down as one of the best heavyweights ever
My fav heavyweight of my time.... One of the greats
