So true, you ain’t joking! Lewis can be argued to be a top 4 of all time. Has a win over every man he’s ever faced. Only 2 defeats out of all the great guys he fought. Beat holyfield when holyfield was still good. Roughed out the win against Mercer who was a beast, beat Tyson, a young peak Shannon Briggs was easily and skilfully slaughtered, the KO of Rahman was a work of art worthy of the British museum, what an incredible boxer. Anyone who says Fury would have beaten Lewis doesn’t know a damn thing about boxing. He’s capable of beating anyone in history. And that’s including Ali. Not saying he would win, but he’d have a great chance. Todays heavyweights like fury don’t know they’re born compared to Lewis’s career. Fury isn’t even defending at all in 2023! How the hell the wbc let him get away with doing whatever he likes and NOT bothering to even talk about a forthcoming defence of THEIR belt is a mystery. When will he ever fight again? Next October? Nearly 2 years out as ‘champion’ for doing nothing at all? He’s an absolute disgrace. A farce. 👍
Fair points! Lewis is without doubt in the top 5...his CV says it all beat the best around shame he couldn't add Bowe to his record, we know what happened. He's also a gentleman out of the ring.

Lewis was a better fighter than many realized at the time. To shut down Morrison like that is impressive. Lewis was a legit pugilist. The self control and timing of a master with strength to boot.
Lewis was a far superior fighter, even if Morrison had been in his prime.....Morrison did have an absolute hammer for a left hook though. One of the best in history.
Boxing is still good man. It’s just not as good as it was back then. Especially in the heavyweight division. There is some great talent in the smaller weight classes now. Especially 10+ years ago when we had Mayweather, Pacquiao, Dela Hoya etc… Now we got Canelo, Ggg, Terence Crawford, Errol Spence, Tyson Fury, Usyk, Lomachenko, Tank Davis etc…. There is still some insane talent out there.

Tommy Morrison had a left hook like Mike Tyson the best left hook ever ,Tommy had too much limelight ,which cost him his life Lennox Lewis definetly was a great jabber and had a knockout punch to boot R.I.P Tommy Duke Morrison
@@dnx112 Right!!!!! Lewis ducked everybody until they were shot, and then then claimed the big victory, just like Mayweather. He didn't even turn pro until Tyson was on his way down, and they're the same age.
But you know a prime George Foreman would have Destroyed Tommy Morrison. Big George was 20 years older and went the distance in a 12 rd fight with Tommy at times turning his back to run from Old slow hard hitting Big George. but If same age there would not have been no 12 rd decision it would have been another devastating KO on Big George behalf, no doubt about it!
The best era of heavyweight boxing. And on a side note: notice how Mills Lane has a word with Lennox at the end of the first round, about pushing on the back of Tommy's head. Impeccable refereeing.
Mills Lane was one of the best referees in boxing history. Laid down the law, let fighters engage in the clinch and didn't take shit from anyone. They don't make them like him anymore.
Lewis would have beaten Tommy regardless.he was just the better fighter who could box and punch and fought far better opponents than Morrison and Tyson.
These were the dayz! Emmanuel Steward was the best Mentor I have ever seen, analyst 2. Roy & Lennox r best box & analyst! They can Fight falling down! ES made like 50 champs!
I agree. Lennox's jab was troublesome. I believe this was Lennox's optimal weight. He still got bounce on his feet while keeping power. Ali got a nice one too. But Eddie Futch proved you can offset his rhythm when he jabs during the Ken Norton fight.
RIP Tommy. Would have given Ray Mercer a distance fight if he didn't burn himself out trying to get the early knockout. But I love Lennox, he was my all time favourite HW Boxer. 😊😊
Everyone is writing Morrison off forgetting he has that one hitter quitter left hook, yea Lewis is the better fighter but Tommy has some skull crushing knockouts under his belt.
Lewis is not better; he's just bigger, and Morrison has AIDs in this fight! Just to give you an idea of how AIDs destroys your physicality....the rock singer Freddie Mercury lost all of his high vocal range to AIDs and could not sing his old Queen songs towards end of his life.

What I've always noticed about Lewis is that he was deceptively dangerous. Very well-mannered and carried himself well, but he was actually a vicious fighter.
As for me, it is the greatest boxing competition in the world. Each boxer gave us best performance. Dangerous punch, powerful boxing gave very ferocious sounds. After all I think it is the best match in the history.
Tommy was a great technician too. His left hook was one of the alltime best ones in boxing history. Great stance, head movement and also good jabs. Complete boxer.

@@jayanthony5075 Absolutely. As great as Lennox was as a HW... Hearns was just a different level p4p, something truly unique in the history of boxing on the highest echelon posssible
"Prime Morrison" .... even in his prime, his chin was clay. .... Do you need some Ray Mercer replays? ....... Most of his biggest wins came against shot fighters. Tillis, Thomas, Ruddock were all shot.....Foreman was pushing 50 years old. ... Beating Joe Hipp was impressive, but Tommy was largely overrated.
@@ajojoe5316 dude shut up already. Those mercer shots would have killed most people, tommy ate like 3 bombs and only went out after the 4th or 5th...his chin was fine.
Bein a swarmer with hooks uppercuts is too the fact of the matter is as good as morrision was and he was good he wasent of the calliber of a frazier, dempsey, marciano or tyson same deal with tua both were good but they were lacking in certin departments.
Morrison made him look to good, Morrison would've been better off just throwing everything he had at Lewis in the first few rounds .. It probably wouldn't have worked anyway but with his punching power he would have stood at least a 20 percent chance of knocking Lewis out..
Regardless of your thoughts on Morrison the dude could fight and didn't duck anyone tough as nails and fought with respect he just walk into someone bigger and better in Lennox
I agree. Morrison should have come out looking for knockout. He tried to box and move some. Not his. Style. Tommy had lousy strategy in this one. He might have lost anyway, but he would have used what brought him.
@@treemann4684 just watch lewis vs mcall 1 and rahman vs lewis 1, lewis was lame at infighting and handled very bad pressure fighting plus his weak chin, morrison was too cautious and was told not fighting on the inside, very shitty plan imo
Ya, that advice makes no sense. He needed to fight Joe Frazier style, coming forward, pounding the body and head of Lewis with those hooks, especially that left hook. Still might not have worked. Lewis was a great fighter with a great chin. Lennox Lewis is the best fighter of his era. He needed to fight Riddick Bowe though.
Tommy Morrison had the worst handlers and corner men. No one even ever heard of any of those guys before Tommy used them. They always gave him terrible advice.
@aaron pryor Wilder is a POS. Can't fight his way out a paper bag. Fury got knocked down not out. And if the judge wasn't black fury would have won that fight hands down.
This is why LL is an all time great: He made an outstanding HW like Tommy look ordinary. If Tommy were alive today and in his prime, he'd be top of the tree. No doubt about it. He just had the misfortune to fight in one of the strongest eras in HW boxing history. Seriously, the talent from 93-03 was insane: Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Tua, Mercer, Foreman v 2.0, Moorer, Byrd, Briggs, Klitschko Bros.... Just a crazy talent rich time for the HW division.
I agree pretty much, not sure tommy would be top 3 as he was though but that being said tommy never fought at his full potential. He slacked on training, partied, drinking, skipping training etc. At his full potential I think he could be a force today but as he was no. I say top 15 atleast if not top 10 though but one of the top 3 as he was I dont think he would
@@malzzzzification25 I think at Morrison's best as he was Lewis was still better but Morrison never saw his full potential so who knows how he would've done if he did. Morrison was at his best in the Ruddock fight and I think Lewis wouod beat that Morrison as well but as i said, tommy never saw his full potential. To much partying, drinking, drugs, girls etc. Take away all that and him train more seriously, who knows, maybe that version of tommy couod beat Lewis. Its up fir the imaginationion!

@@jayanthony5075 Absolutely. As great as Lennox was as a HW... Hearns was just a different level p4p, something truly unique in the history of boxing on the highest echelon posssible
Tommy foi é sempre será um grande atleta ficou na história estar na história descanser em paz Tommy 🙏
Beautiful control from Lewis in the 2nd round when Morrison put his knee down.

Morrison aged twenty years in just one year
Good old days , wouldnt have a clue whos heavy weight champion these days .
RIP Tommy Morrison and RIP Mills “Let’s get it on” Lane 🥊
RIP Mills Lane?
Since when did he die.
According to info he's 83 and still alive.
@@Ve-suvius Wow you’re right. I thought Mills was dead but he’s still alive.
GEORGE FOREMAN: ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mr Mills Lane ....iconic... I always picture Mills Lane when I think about boxing
When u see the facial hair u know this isnt prime morrison .
😂
Same
"Prime Morrison" .... even in his prime, his chin was clay. .... Do you need some Ray Mercer replays? ....... Most of his biggest wins came against shot fighters. Tillis, Thomas, Ruddock were all shot.....Foreman was pushing 50 years old. ... Beating Joe Hipp was impressive, but Tommy was largely overrated.
@@ajojoe5316 dude shut up already. Those mercer shots would have killed most people, tommy ate like 3 bombs and only went out after the 4th or 5th...his chin was fine.
@@nothx962 Yeah for real, 12 rounds with george foreman, come the fuck on
Terima kasih Tommy atas dedikasimu di dunia tinju...
Semoga Allah Swt memberimu tempat terbaik...
I realy love Lenox Lewis .go ahed .God bless you.thank you.
Just heard miles Lane the referee, has passed away, I think he was in his 80s sometime in may2023
Lewis made a career like so many others on an jab with a right strait so simple but so affective!
Bein a swarmer with hooks uppercuts is too the fact of the matter is as good as morrision was and he was good he wasent of the calliber of a frazier, dempsey, marciano or tyson same deal with tua both were good but they were lacking in certin departments.
Klit for one
@@gdfggggg Klit for one? Lick it out
@@davidfitzgerald4683 klitchko 😂
@@gdfggggg oh lol 😂😂😂😂 👍
Lewis looked really good in this fight....
Morrison made him look to good, Morrison would've been better off just throwing everything he had at Lewis in the first few rounds .. It probably wouldn't have worked anyway but with his punching power he would have stood at least a 20 percent chance of knocking Lewis out..
Lewis 1 of the best boxers he from England no one cared
Morrison buen boxeador pero Lewis es un maestro de la técnica boxitica para los que quieran ser campeones vean todas sus peleas, muchas gracias
Lennox Lewis has always been my favourite boxer class boxer
Could Lennox look anymore relaxed
Those were, The days hey Lenox ,, we had the best times then
Tommy was not ready for this level.
Regardless of your thoughts on Morrison the dude could fight and didn't duck anyone tough as nails and fought with respect he just walk into someone bigger and better in Lennox
Mills Lane was the best! Such a legend!!
Yeah one of the best out there.
Tommy, Rest in eternal peace in His kingdom.
If he was a Christian then he is. If not, well...
GOPMAN71 y
I like both fighters don't care who wins
Lennox Lewis was diabolically handled early days by the pepe eejet ..Manny made him world class
Tommy Morrison’s cut man, that’s not a job you really want.
Dark... and hilarious
james roberts that was really funny 😂
james roberts really nigga 😂
did ya hear the advices from morrison's corner? "stay away and use the jab" against a taller, jaber like Lewis? wtf?
I agree. Morrison should have come out looking for knockout. He tried to box and move some. Not his. Style. Tommy had lousy strategy in this one. He might have lost anyway, but he would have used what brought him.
Yes very smart anytime if you know the foot work, reach is NO factor
@@treemann4684 just watch lewis vs mcall 1 and rahman vs lewis 1, lewis was lame at infighting and handled very bad pressure fighting plus his weak chin, morrison was too cautious and was told not fighting on the inside, very shitty plan imo
Ya, that advice makes no sense. He needed to fight Joe Frazier style, coming forward, pounding the body and head of Lewis with those hooks, especially that left hook. Still might not have worked. Lewis was a great fighter with a great chin. Lennox Lewis is the best fighter of his era. He needed to fight Riddick Bowe though.
Tommy Morrison had the worst handlers and corner men. No one even ever heard of any of those guys before Tommy used them. They always gave him terrible advice.
That's what I love about Tyson he don't do all that playing around he comes right at you none of that going around in circles
LETS GET IT ON!
Lol who is the referee he's got one on the best voices for the job...
Celebrity death match
I liked Lenox Lewis not sure if he got the respect he deserved as a heavyweight champion...
I knew he was good hard hitter
Lennox Lewis what a Legend
Great commentary
Tommy foi um grande lutador. Já o Lewis é um dos maiores da história.
😂😂😂
@@terryhannah1319 what's so funny ? U probably won't reply cuz ur gonna look back at ur comment and relise how cringe u were
Those long arms by Lewis kept Tommy at bay. Good fight
@aaron pryor Tyson fury is pretty bad ass. I think Tyson would have put Lewis down. much respect to Lewis though.
@aaron pryor Wilder is a POS. Can't fight his way out a paper bag. Fury got knocked down not out. And if the judge wasn't black fury would have won that fight hands down.
@aaron pryor not how the white judges scored it.
@aaron pryor LMAO. You just mad cause the black dude couldn't knock him out.
Томми несомненно талант. Рано начал и к этому бою уже сгорел.
Алкоголь наркотики и ВИЧ
Любого подкосят. Левый хуг был убийственным
Кто в этом бою победил? Что-за кусок?
@@blaggrad Ленокс победил.
Также и Тайсон против Льиса вышел уже не тот.
Какой-то Моррисон не Моррисон, уж какой-то слишком осторожный какой-то.
Все бои посмотреть надо, потом говорить что какой то.
Sad story ending life of Morrison 😭
This is why LL is an all time great: He made an outstanding HW like Tommy look ordinary. If Tommy were alive today and in his prime, he'd be top of the tree. No doubt about it. He just had the misfortune to fight in one of the strongest eras in HW boxing history. Seriously, the talent from 93-03 was insane: Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Tua, Mercer, Foreman v 2.0, Moorer, Byrd, Briggs, Klitschko Bros.... Just a crazy talent rich time for the HW division.
I agree pretty much, not sure tommy would be top 3 as he was though but that being said tommy never fought at his full potential. He slacked on training, partied, drinking, skipping training etc. At his full potential I think he could be a force today but as he was no. I say top 15 atleast if not top 10 though but one of the top 3 as he was I dont think he would
This was by no means prime Morrison.
@@malzzzzification25 I think at Morrison's best as he was Lewis was still better but Morrison never saw his full potential so who knows how he would've done if he did. Morrison was at his best in the Ruddock fight and I think Lewis wouod beat that Morrison as well but as i said, tommy never saw his full potential. To much partying, drinking, drugs, girls etc. Take away all that and him train more seriously, who knows, maybe that version of tommy couod beat Lewis. Its up fir the imaginationion!
I always said that was the best era. You could add more names to that list
@@willhitchcock6227 Cory Sander's was still,Sam Peter,Gosh Endless...Great skill they all had.
10:54 to 11:01 is one of the best parts of the show!
I guess the 90 are the second best ERA in boxing history.
Two awesome fighters
