Typical US commentators - for some reason almost every US fighter "had an off night" against Lewis. Why weren't they taking the fight to him? Why were they throwing away the opportunity? Foreman got it right with the Tua fight - it's because Lennox was out-boxing them and they couldn't get to him. Never got the credit he deserved - particularly in America.
I'm cool with that. Who cares. The heavyweight Americans back then were nothing to waves the flag over. Lewis is cool and he had the best line in boxing: regarding Tyson, "I'm a fighter not a biter."
Lewis never got the respect in boxing he deserved. A very tough, and skillfull boxer. He had a strong right hand that leveled most heavyweights. Tyson Fury wouldn't last against the Lion. Lennox is a true warrior. 👍
I just remember that Tony during the match against Mike, don't succeeded to smash Mike with a SINGLE fist the prime Mike. Here while Tony put at the target some good punches combination. True, Tony twice at the carpet, but nothing of very and definitely distructive comes by Lewis. Prime Mike vs the best Lewis, it's what I wanted to see..
Lennox lewis was a great fighter, better than any American during that era and literally beat every american shaming the same. But lennox lewis must not have been made to fight in the heavy weight division. They must create a super heavyweight division for big boxers like him.
He often looked amateurish especially the first half of his career, heavy legs (but he could jump at his opponent) and no rhythm at all..but monster right hand and a telephone pole jab. 6ft 5 and a fit 250? lbs. = mortal danger
Watching this fight……. Tucker was a beast. Got the knock down but needed more stamina. Don’t know if age at this point was catching up to him or not but getting the knock down on Lewis showed how talented and strong he was. Slipping and falling showed me he was getting older and fatigued
If Tony Tucker got in the ring and went the distance with Lennox Lewis then it's absolutely no excuses that Riddick Bowe can use for why he didn't defend the belt against the The Lion. Maybe it was the overhand right that dropped Tucker that had him shook, I SEE THAT NOW!!!!!😳🤣🤣🤣
Bowe had already lost credibility and thrown the world title belt in the bin to avoid Lewis some time before this fight so whatever happened here had nothing to do with Bowe's chickening out of a Lewis fight.
@@markhiggins8315 That's precisely my point. Riddick Bowe didn't fight either one of these guys vs Lennox who did the very opposite. Lennox fought everybody he was supposed to fight in his career just like Holyfield did and they never dodged anybody for any reason. As great as Riddick Bowe was he now looks like fake champion for what he did and his struggles with Andrew Golota outside of the nut shots he took solidifies just how sad his situation ended. It's a "DAMN SHAME"!!!!!😩
Lewis never dared to accept reematch against Vitali Klitschko when he got screwed up by Klitschko in the first fight.. Muhammad Ali the greatest of all the time would knockout Lennox Lewis with eyes closed 😅
I don't think you saw Klitchkos face after his fight with Lewis. Lewis did him a big favor by not agreeing to a rematch under any circumstance. Lewis would have bashed in the other side of his face as well. It's the same with Frank Bruno. The public just wouldn't like it.
@@olawaleesan4672 it was a cut on his eye wich happend by a lucky cowardly Lewis punch but Klitschko was alright and ready to countinue fighting because he has the heart of Lion ! But the stupid ref stopped the fight and that was the only reason Lewis won even though Klitschko screwed him up in all rounds and would surely win the fight but then the chicken Lennox did not dare to accept reematch when Klitschko said I want reematch but instead run away and retired from Boxing cowardly with very very lucky victory shame on him !
@@MiddleEast-4Ever oh really? You think it requires luck in order to bash in your opponent's face like that? I DON'T THINK SO. Do you think Lewis won that fight because he was lucky? I DON'T THINK SO. EITHER. The fight was stopped because Klitchkos corner men threw in the towel to save him from any further punishment. That in my opinion was the right thing to do. Those injuries on Klitchkos face are one of the worst injuries I have ever seen on a boxers face. And finally what was the point in having a rematch? What more did Lewis have to prove to the boxing world after that fight? Lewis quit while he was ahead, at his peak. He has made his money and he walked away peacefully and sensibly. He is the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time and a real gentleman.
Lewis didn’t look like a champion in this fight, he showboated at times, slacked off at times, and looked just plain lazy most of the time. He didn’t earn the respect of a champion in this fight because he could’ve ended up getting knocked out with the way he didn’t keep his guard up.

American's can't take the fact that a British fighter beat every American fighter. He meet
it really keeps me awake at night
And was beaten too by same Americans.
@@rayanthony5647 what rubbish he came from the couple of defeats to win return martches

It's because he's a Brit. The Americans couldn't stand being bested by a brit
My money would be on Fury.
Really? I think peak Lewis was unbeatable.. by anyone

When you consider Lewis beat every opponent he's ever faced, it tells you all you need to know!
Lewis was best in the game at uppercuts
And hitting on the back of the head of his opponents. Like against Tommy Morrison and Donovan Ruddock, even Mike Tyson.
Lewis was coasting in this fight. Much better against Ruddick and Briggs
Tucker was a hard tough opponent. No push over
@@posniknelb6114 Yeah, he was the older man and stood up well to Lennox. Briggs was a better fight, it was great seeing Lennox toast Briggs.
Never fought Riddick Bowe.
@@posniknelb6114 Tucker was made of granite. Damn he was tough. Fought Tyson with no fear. James Tyllis was no slouch either.
Lewis in the early days relied more on raw power. When Emanuel Steward took over his training he became much more effective.
He often looked amateurish especially the first half of his career, heavy legs (but he could jump at his opponent) and no rhythm at all..but monster right hand and a telephone pole jab. 6ft 5 and a fit 250? lbs. = mortal danger
Stewart was by far the best coach I ever witnessed recreate a boxer!

The commentators to this fight were a complete partisan joke.
A Tony Tucker vs Frank Bruno match would have been exciting.
No.
The problem with Lewis was letting the other guy back in, when he could have finished him off.
That changed after he went to Kronk...
Even their initials were double barrelled, LL vs TT
He went the distance for 12 rounds. It seems like 1987 version of Tucker would easily beat Lennox Lewis
Yeah I agree.. When you see the footwork of a 87 tucker... and other comparisons.. To the 93 version there is no comparison...
Lennox Lewis is living legend!🎉

LEWIS MISSING BADLY ROUND 5.
YAY FOR LENNOX
Lewis is a very strong guy
For some unknown reason Tucker just ain't got fire in his gut to fight when he's gotten all the opporties that he don't take?
Lennox the Lion Lewis! 🥊✅🇬🇧🇯🇲🇨🇦
Tucker out boxed Lewis. Those judges were biased. Tony by a split decion at least.
Clearly you are blind
Un lewis sottotono
Prime Lewis would've ruined Fury
Which Fury? Of this rotten division?
ONE OF LEWI,S CRAPPIEST FIGHT.

You’re talking crap.

Never cared much for Lewis. He always had this sneaky defensive style of boxing.
Fixed fight.
It's just that Tucker is overweight and his movements are slow, otherwise he would easily defeat Lewis
Facts
Well strong opinions to be politically correct but ya feel me I think
So, if he was a different person he would have beat him.
Or is it just that Lewis made him look slow and overweight? .Lewis was the last of the real genuine ,fight anybody , great heavyweights ...
Tyson fury would walk straight through lewis and knock him out no problem
Ha hah hah! ......Nice joke.
Keep off the crack lol.
@@jonnybravo3055 calling people with comments like that when I only replying to a boxing comment you prick

Технично хорошие боксеры.Оба хороши.
Saved by the bell at the end of rd.3... when did Lennox pick up the tag ' the lion ' because he never had it in his career that I ever remember.
