    Probably the most accurate HW puncher ever. With one of the best jabs and one of the highest ring iq ever.

      The “Americans don’t think much of Lewis” is and has always been projection by the Brits.
      The Brits thought nothing of Lewis for a long time. Having fought for Canada in the Olympics, he wasn’t considered a real Brit and had to play second fiddle to Bruno.
      It wasn’t until Lewis beat Bruno that the Brits started liking him, realizing he was their only chance of getting the unified heavyweight belt back to England for the first time in 100 years.

I've been involved in combat sports since I was 8, and if I hit someone, and they dropped their guard, advanced on me, and casually delivered some hard punches, I wouldn't think that I had hurt them. His "anger" could have been at himself for letting the shot through.

    "I'm the superior fighter.." - My Favorite Boxer. I smile every time I see these KOs. Lewis makes me proud to have been a boxer... There won't be any like him. 🗡️🛡️

    He was just so good and I think some people forget he’s definitely in my top 5 of all time heavyweight boxers maybe top 3.

    It's a rarity to see such a big man who is also so athletic. You don't generally see 6'6", 250 pound fighters who are as explosive as Lewis was. And his right cross could knock down a building.

    Definitely one of the greats! You can't argue the Lion had his reign for years. True 2 handed boxer in a division of power punchers. He lit it up in true boxing fashion

    The last one of the greatest heavyweights, absolute savage when others tried to go toe to toe with him as you can see he was brutal with the speed of a super middle weight and the best jab ever seen in the ring by splitting their faces open.
    Strong, fearless, he was complete package! and the way he conducts himself outside of boxing gets my vote.
    None of the current heavyweights are fit to lace his boots and would not have seen past 4 rounds with him.
    Thanks for the memories of lots of your fights Lennox the Lion and your dedication in the ring.

    This guy was an extremely powerful animal. I think he was at least the punch of all times. Really after Mike Tyson, who was also a very strong boxer my favourite is Lennox Lewis...!! Talented and powerful. Special boxing skills and he just murdered all the towers of boxing in his prime.... but he wasn't that famous like some others....!! Respect ..!!

    Greatest boxer of the hands down 2nd greatest heavyweight era ever. He has to be consider among the absolute best to ever lace'em up. He was deprived of a win vs Bowe who pathetically ducked him, and possibly against young Tyson if he never went to jail. His reign truly could have been even more epic.

    Lennox boxed like a middleweight and hit like a tank!! His one weakness was his susceptibility to the one punch knockout. However, he easily avenged both of those losses therefore proving that they were in fact flukes. He’s easily one of the greatest of all time!!
