Lenox should be an example to all fighters, got out at the right time after achieving what he needed to, is healthy and sharp today because of it. Pure class
Not regarded as a great… snooze fest when he fought.
@@delroy5097 - 😂
He is healthy, wealthy and wise....thats a pretty good way to retire in that game
He became a more knockout power fighter after Emmanuel Steward starting training him.
Short hair, buzz cut Lennox, gun shy, dreadlocked, Predator Lennox, his jab became lethal.
Cosign, I say and think the same thing all the time, Lennox fought from 89-03 and accomplished everything he wanted in between that time and he took care of his $, and he knew when his time was up and he NEVER looked back. Big RESPECT for Lennox.🥊💯✊🏾
Respect to this quiet man: he proved himself in the ring without any loss of dignity; he's fair in his assessment and summary of each fighter's chances.
One of the greatest. In and out the ring. Love lennox! He's the man.
I am conflicted about him not giving a Klitschko a rematch after winning by controversial stoppage. Klitschko was winning until unfortunate cut caused probably by glove's seam.
Unlike that muppet haye
Who?
@@sayianin Nah that was just Lennox being able to adjust. Klitscho should've been able to put Lennox away he was up he had Lennox cut too. If anyone should've given a rematch it should have been Fury & Wladimir.
Lennox is a smart boxer. He has tons of experience. He knows the details. He master in the details and his tool box is loaded.
I predict deontay catches fury with a devastating punch. But I root for fury. 🤛
@@marcalan1198 this would make me so happy 🤣
Lennox was an amazing boxer and a gentleman outside the ring
I agree but I thought the things he said about Frank Bruno prior to their fight tarnished his reputation.
@@stevebailey5591 what did he say
guy always comes across with this understated class, too. impressive dude.
I'll always remember his brawl with Rachman whilst being interviewed in the TV studios
@@bigboss-yv2nr He called him an 'Uncle Tom' which I see as the nearest one black man can get to using a racial slur on another black man. Bruno was deeply hurt and angry about it (as was Joe Frazier when Ali said the same about him before their first fight). Maybe it was all part of getting in his head before the fight. Whether it was a wind-up tactic or he genuinely thought it I felt Lennox crossed a line he didn't have a right to and was guilty of something ugly by saying it.
These former boxers such as Lewis and Tyson have opened my eyes to what boxers are all about. Its not just smashing people its so much more than that.
🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Lennox, undisputedly one of the greatest heavyweights of all time
No doubt...people still debate it which is ridiculous
Mike Tyson is one of the most overrated heavyweight boxers of all time
Top3
@@tevildo45 I don't think Mike tyson was over rated, Lennoxt was just better when they fought
No 1 for me
Lenox looks great. Very underappreciated when he was active but now he is recognized as one of the all time greats and rightly so
I'm a bit worried for his health. He is stuttering a teeny, tiny bit before each long word or sentence. I guess getting hit so hard over years does that....
@@RR-om3zx Lennox was always like that to be fair
@@jonsnow9262 that's true
I feel like that with David haye. I find he struggles to express himself quickly
I do not believe Lenox was underappreciated. Lenox was and is still is recognized of one of the best ever.
He is still the last undisputed world Heavy weight Champion.
Even, Mike Tyson avoided and actually paid not to fight Lenox. (do a fact check)
Now, that is respect.
This guy represents all the good that should be in boxing. From boxing to values. 🥇
The last great heavyweight champion
the goat !
@@piotrpp5478 spot on. Lennox the goat 🐐 and a true gent.
@@stevenicol1 👌👑
It is such a privilege to hear Lennox Lewis's thoroughly expert and detailed analysis on fighters. Lennox was head and shoulders above the challengers of the day.
Yeah head and shoulders is a bit of a stretch. Had plenty of hard nights, losses and a bit of luck in some too.
@JS Sim when Lennox lost, it was due to breakthrough punches that are always a risk in heavyweight fights. Lennox avenged both his losses and ultimately beat everyone he faced.
@JS Sim The same guy David Tua smacked?
@JS Sim Rahman was a 10 times better boxer than anyone Wilder or Fury have faced.
@JS Sim ok ye he was not better than Klitschko... but Wlad was ancient when he fought Fury and AJ. But he was better than most of the other fighters the modern day top has fought and he dud have power. Wlad would have been a much sterner test for Fury 5 to 6 years earlier. And would have soundly beaten AJ
There are a list of undetectables champs and Lewis is of them... One ofmy favorites, quiet, smart, polite and still in shape !!
Respect Sir from a froggy serious fan :)
My son is named Lennox due Dec 20
To me he’s the greatest ever of our modern time. I remember that time he destroyed Razor Ruddock.
I'll never forget when he destroyed Tyson. Tyson is a nice guy now, but he was a freaking nut psycho at the time. Very dramatic. Would loved to have seen him fight Joe Frazier in his prime.
@juji gatame, cool name my fellow judoka 😜
@Cups because Joe Frazier in his prime was relentless. He absolutely would not stop punching. Ever. George Foreman was a terror. How Ali figured him out and was so agile to avoid the headshots- maybe the greatest strategy in boxing history. Both would have been great fights for Lennox.
Lennox Lewis achieved everything in boxing one of the greatest
Lennox became the ultimate boxer and left a legacy that very few can measure up too !
The fact that he still speaks well after a career as successful as his is the biggest accomplishment IMO.
@@Blas4ublasphemy truth
@@Blas4ublasphemy facts
@I'd rather be a blind moth Joshua’s the Clown
Lennox was the greatest heavyweight boxer at a time when the division was the most stacked in history and lasted two eras nobody has a resume like Lennox
Spot on mate, he was wonderful. His movement and punching power was different class. He had the heart of a lion as well
George foreman
The goat 🐐
He’s the best heavyweight since Ali.
@@MrMarkchennells , movement??? He had no head movement at all, all he did was jab and grab
Looking at & listening to Lennox you'd never know he'd been in numerous tough heavyweight fights, still got all his faculties.
It’s because he was the ring general in all of his fights. Only Ray Mercer and Holyfield really had gruelling wars with him.
He sounds the same cos he was never that bright to begin with.
@@Joe-pj6ds Don't forget Lennox got caught by Haseem but Lennox made quick work of him in the rematch.
@@oldschoolhiphop2275yes and he also got caught by McCall but I’m describing long 12 round wars, they’re what really tend to make people deteriorate.
Nah man, someone with all their faculties wouldn't wear that shirt on screen. 😂
Lewis is spot on with his thoughts
Obviously not
Apart from the knock out
Words of wisdom from a great champ. One of my favourite boxers of all time.
One of my favourite boxers of all time too.
Lewis is the definition of the sweet science. Elegant dude and one of the greatest HW boxers of all time. 👍
So it was that sweet science how he punched just right time and place. Looked opponents moves and knew when to hit.🤔
And full of class as well.
Lewis as ever speaking sense. So quietly spoken, so on the ball, and gets my respect for enjoying keeping out of the limelight. But should get more kudos for what he achieved. 🥊✌
He never will because it was tysons era mate same as pac man will never get the kudos he deserves because of mayweather
@@YOSSI22T.B innit poor pac man smh
Lennox.. always a class act..much respect
100%
One of the very few fighters to have defeated everyone he faced in the ring. One of the greatest of all time!!!
Rather listen to him than bloody Haye
100 percent,,,,,what a tool
@@leemcnamara3876 🤣🤣
💯
aw haye is alright... defo lets his beef with fury cloud his predictions tho 😂
Haye's good value for the laughs though.
He only opens his mouth to change feet.
Always have had respect for Lennox, a gentleman and a real class act, his boxing record speaks for itself! Great to see him here.
AotoGo so agree
A peoples champ for sure.
Remember how many people turned on Lewis for telling the truth about Anthony Joshua? Everything he had said came to light about AJ.
I saw a clip of AJ calling Lennox a clown. What did Lennox say about AJ?
Lewis lost too. AJ losing doesn't validate anything he says. He should support and upcoming champion. But he hates so much because he wants to be known as the best UK champ. He always has something to say about AJ and always coming at AJ and that's why AJ called him a clown.
What truth was that? Lewis himself lost his world twice by getting knocked out with one punch so he was in no position to criticise AJ.
@@goton84 well that makes no sense, when the majority of the british public have always believed fury to be the best and lennox has never said a bad word about tyson. even admitting in this very interview he would of had troubles against fury. so how can he be hating on one for being british but not the other if he wants to be known as the best british hw of all time??
No one turned on Lennox .
Big Lennox looking well and articulate as hell. Great to see
LL’s analysis is usually on target. Whenever he gives his input on a fight I usually want to know what he thinks.
One of the best analogies I’ve seen so far in regards to both fighters. Shout out to Lennox.
3:06 Lennox telling the truest moment in history
Lewis is so underated, he was so smart in the ring #lennoxlewisGOAT
🐐
Must admit ol Lennox's talking good sense here
Definitely good sense.
Sense. See comment above

I don't agree with his take on Wilder learning more from the second fight. Wilder his dismissed Furys win based on cheating which tells me he hasnt addressed what he did wrong. On the other hand Fury has felt Wilder wilt in the ring, he knows how far he can push Wilder before he gives up.
Lewis might have been the most versatile HW champ ever. Boxer or puncher, he could do both very effectively. Fury is another.
Lewis is a “5 dimensional fighter” 👊
One of the best and sweetest KO’s is still Lewis sparking out Rahman
He changed his name to Has-been Rahman
Lewis glass jaw proven by rahman's 1 punch yet again. It makes me laugh that Lewis is classed as anything above a mediocre boxer.
@@boombeachsith7223 If I'm not mistaken, Lennox took some big hits from Tyson when he fought him. Might be remembering incorrectly, but if I'm remembering right, that's far from a glass jaw.
@@blanktrigger8863 Tyson post prison was a shadow of his former self. Pre prison Tyson was a different animal he would of done what Rahman did to Lewis but only quicker. As Tyson was much better than Rahman.
@@boombeachsith7223 That's besides the point. Doesn't matter if he would have done it faster than somebody else: it would have taken more punches than what Lennox took when they fought. That doesn't fit the description of a glass jaw.
Big up Lennox Lewis one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time I love going back and watching his fights 🥊
Charlie Zelenoff
Fury is better
@@bigmatthews666 I reckon Lewis would beat him if they were the same size
Big up yourself
@@bigmatthews666 your on crack ,go see a doctor muppet
Lennox is a legend only boxer that could give him problems today would be Fury but different eras and such an inspirational person!
No current fighter would even try an imprisoned Tyson,,a fit riddick bowe , actually I think bowe was the best of 80s class only that he was off WBC
People like Lennox come along once in a lifetime: He is a true champ - athlete, articulate and special. Simply the best.
Or as eubank would say "thimply the betht"
Much love n respect for this LEGEND 🙏 watching from SOUTHERN 🌍AFRICA
“Wilders gona come out swingin,
But fury’s gona be singin,
Fury bobbin and a weavin,
Makin wilder feel like leavin,
Wilders gona be hopin,
when it looks like he ain’t coping,
Fury’s jab is like a hammer,
To the man from Alabama,
And it ain’t gona be no crime,
When it’s the same as last time,
Fury’s jab will be like a flosser,
When he smashes that big DOSSER!!”
‘Aaaaaaarrrgghhhh!
Rumble young man rumble!’
(I SHALL RETURN!)💥🥊
😁👍 spot on
His palms are sweaty knees costume was heavy theres vomit on the sweater already legs like spaghetti but on the surface he looks wild and ready to get knocked out
Nice
What a plonker
@@donnypp9092 whats a plonker ? In American language please .
Lennox was a great boxer and champion 🏆
Lennox Lewis what a legend, good to see him looking well. The greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.
I wouldn't go as far as saying the greatest. Definitely one of the greatest but not THE greatest. I think that title should be held by the ONLY undefeated heavyweight who retired undefeated and racked up 49-0 in only 7 years against some of the toughest fighters. Rocky Marciano.
Definitely the greatest, would beat any other boxer out of 10 fights.
C'mon man.
@@jecht7929 The Mob fixed alot of his fights so there's great debate in his actual record.
@@jecht7929he was a middleweight can't be the greatest
Good listening to a great champion on a world championship fight. Great role model for any up and coming boxers. 👍
I like hearing Lennox Lewis every
time. He's always calm, cool, and see things realistically. He's one of the best Commentator we have today.
He is very knowledgeable this man that's a fact
Lennox is one helluva of a dude! True legend
He talks a lot of sense
What a great quote from one of our greatest boxers!!
What great insight from a legend.
Wicked heavy weight one of the best jabs in the business a joy to watch
Malik Scott is a professional diver . So I don't know what he's going to teach Wilder 🤔 it was so funny watching him trying to quit against Ortiz but the ref kept calling them slips not knock downs lol 😂
Professional diver is right. Hence the video of Wilder training like Baby and Johnny Castle in the lake.
True that is why he is called Malik "Scuba Diver" Scott. He even dived against Wilder.
So true.That 1st round ko Scott took against Wilder was an absolute joke.He was barely touched and stayed down disgracefully.
I've just watched the new Lennox documentary this morning, that guy was like a ballerina in the ring, what a fighter, top respect 🙏
Not the most flattering comparison but ok 😂😂
Lennox Lewis was one of the best boxers of my generation 👍👍
Good job BT Sports for delivering build up videos to this fight!
Man! This is the best interview with so much intelligent insights! That’s the difference between a goon like Deontay and the Boxing Champ!
Lennox was seriously underestimated when he was active. Now it's clearer what a great he really was. I think the same might be true of Fury. It's not enough to be big and tough. These guys have brains.
Very true.Lennox would have obliterated joshua.Simply on a different level.A great level.
What an absolute legend.
My man pimpin' it with them old school Jordan's 😏
Yeah they look cool
I think they're "Toro Bravo's"
Those are the Ragin Bulls, they just rereleased this year
Aww boy ! I love this man ... always a class apart .. Respect Legend !
Great interview, enjoyed every second of it. Tyson Fury all the way for the Win
Love Lennox; so polite, so knowledgeable, is still switched on; he got out healthy and deservedly is a wealthy man. A great, great Champion.
Great to hear from Lennox....!
This man was one of the greatest fighters . He fought all the best of his era.
Lewis: no one could have predicted the 2nd fight, also Lewis, I can't see a knockout in this fight, LMAO
Boxers 😆
If wilder didn’t throw the towel for the TKO. He would have been KO for sure. Wilder is chicken zhit because he didn’t let fury finished him by taking the TKO. Wilder the wimp!!
@@kyqorioskygo8999 his corner threw the towel in and he was pissed I’m not on his side but that makes no sense
@@kyqorioskygo8999 Oh shut the F up man. Fury will lose this time. He’s got wilder in his head. Getting angry at weigh-ins won’t help him.
@@bannedone3ice138 Wilder in Fury's head? Delusional
@@M4uvez Yes, because wilder knows he might’ve been cheated last time. The footages of the last fight show Fury’s knuckles from inside the gloves. Fury has no explanation for that !!! All he says is that why Wilders team didn’t point it out before.
Lewis a great champion and a good man
Great to see a champ with all his faculties in tact
And finances.
that's because he won most of the time.................
I agree he's still all there is lennox! ..sadly I didn't see the same with the Holyfield interview!
Lennox Lewis what a legend.... 90s were the best era in the history of heavy weight boxing. Just look at the names that ruled the scene..
Lewis was my favourite fighter, even, though the Tyson phenomenon!
Mine to but didn't enjoy him finishing Tyson in such a sad way.
@@struesbob7493 He is older than Tyson.
I found his style boring, compared to Tyson or Holyfield.
Actually mine too.
@@argonthesad still a good fighter.
Lennox Lewis a legend of the sport. A true champion in every sense of the word!
Lennox needs to train some of this HW's brilliant mind
That would be dope asf
He hasn’t really said anything that isn’t common sense lol
Joshua was offered lol
@@battlememesbyomari1979 Most things seem like "common sense" once they've been laid out clearly. Learn to appreciate greatness rather than being caught up in your own hubris.
@@jameslaude3654 AJ called Lennox a clown. Bet he wished he'd listen. Lennox was bang on all those years ago, not getting carried away with the hype like so many 'fans' were.
AJ could have been so much better if he had Lennox behind him. Instead, AJ boxes more like Frank Bruno.
Lewis another true British champion

This is interesting. Lennox is the only person I’ve heard say there will be no knockout it will go 12 rounds.
Ino think he’s right. Wilder will be a lot more careful. I still think fury wins though
It makes no sense both of them came in at the heaviest
@@regularstan6212 fury was only 1 or 2 pounds heavier than last fight.
I've put a bet on fury to win on points, alot of people think it will go to a decision.
yeah interesting, I can't see how it goes the distance but whadda I know
👑👑 Never forget Lennox Lewis in his fight for the strap with David Tua, it was a boxing master class, he really knows what he's talking about when he's talking about the sweet science! 👑👑
Love that fight, absolute mastery of a performance, the jab and footwork made Tua look way out of his depth.
Lennox would have mashed all there heads in, Lennox was a superior boxer to all these bums in 2021
Exactly.
Ye he would have but ur a dolphin so leg it lad
I dont see him beating Tyson fury
Most humble down to earth and respectable character in boxing
Great to see the always classy Lennox , a true champion .
I once met Lennox Lewis.. What a down to earth approachable fellow. A really nice person.
Hinting at a FOURTH fight at the end of this video made me SICK
It is always great to see brother Lennox,the greatest champion ever happened.The genius Boxer who could adopt any style and take out any competitor.
Great to see Lennox talk so highly of Tyson, a pair of greats.
Sweet science baby
This is an amazing interview and preflight discussion. Lewis is one of the greatest of all time and to hear him say that same thing about Fury is awesome. Greatness recognizes greatness!
Lenox Lewis had Joshua's physique, Fury's boxing IQ and Wilder's power. Apart from a couple of fights when he failed to prepare properly against much inferior opposition, he dominated.
Wrong 😂
@@biggalrclife isn't thought ya melt
As good as he was I put Fury ahead of Lewis for one main reason: Fury, with his feinting and movement and reflexes, effectively kills off his opponent's jabs and other punches. Lewis would throw half the punches that he's used to and connect with even less. Fury has the best defence I've seen in donkey's years.
I also think that Fury's brain is wired differently, his equilibrium should have been shot after that knockdown in round 9 with that rabbit punch but he got up without a wobble. Same in round 12 when he rose from the dead.
I think he's going to retire unbeaten and unify and defend those titles unless he goes loopy again and beats himself.
And we haven't seen the best of Fury yet imo, he's going to get better! 😲
@@biggalrclife correct and stll
Lewis is a really smart man and he is one of the few greatest of all time.💪
Lennox proved himself by beating everyone he met
he is great very smart articulate i could listen him to all day
Lennox should be the main trainer of Wilder!
No...
He tried to help David Price out a few years ago but it didn't really help. Takes alot of time and commitment to be a head trainer.
Good interview. Pleased to read that tysons very aware of the wilder bomb🥊, and isnt underestimating him. Real danger in getting caught with that clump. I would have liked to see him a bit lighter tbh. Best way to win is to weaken him early so he cant throw it! Then knock him the spark out! Come on Tyson!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Lewis beat Holyfield, Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Galota, Klitschko, Tua, Bruno, Ruddock and more. The nineties was a massively stacked heavyweight division and Lewis pretty much cleaned it out. Didn't fight Bowe because Bowe was too scared. Didn't fight Foreman but I'm sure he'd have won that one. He avenged both his losses in pretty swift fashion. His resume is probably only bettered by Mohammed Ali in terms of the guys he beat. In contrast Tyson doesn't have any truly great victories on his resume and people say he was the better fighter.
Lewis never fought Tyson in his prime if he did Tyson would have dropped him 20 seconds.
Couldn’t agree more, I’m so glad someone said this. People don’t give Lewis enough credit for what he’s accomplished, and they always overlook his win over Tyson. Their favourite line is, “TySon wAsN’t iN HiS pRiMe😭!!”. Neither was Lennox mate😂🤦🏾♂️.
Tyson and Lewis peaked in different decade's
Lennox is a beast. Dominated his era. People dont give him his due respect
Fury would have crushed Lennox as he did Wilder, even though Lennox is slightly better at defending. Lennox did well against smaller size opponents, but was vulnerable to good taller boxers, got knocked by Rahman in the 5th, a 20-1 underdog
An Insightful Retrospective from the Greatest British Fighter of All Time! 👍🏾💯👌🏾
Lennox Lewis never really got the public admiration he deserved in my opinion. Not only was he a truly classy boxer he has shown himself to be a truly classy man.
That's true. He beat Tyson, holyfield and Klitschko. He was a great champion.
If Deontay learned how to jab when Lennox offered to teach him (check out that video of them years back in the parking lot) this would be a much different fight.
Lenox lewis knew how to conduct himself both in & out of the ring.. Great champion and gentleman.
Imagine Lennox in his prime against Fury.
No contest. Lennox would school him.
He would destroy fury.
Great fight .... two all time greats.
Lewis would bury him
Lennox would not school Fury at all. He might edge it, that’s debatable but to say he would school him is nonsense.
Lennox has street smarts, class and grace. A credit to his sport and his heritage.
Lennox Lewis the most underrated GOAT arguably NO.1
Sonny Liston
The Champion.. Every heavy weight aspires to be like the legend LENNOX LEWIS.. True champion, great man, respect!.. Thanks for sharing.
Both of them came in at their heaviest, this isn't lasting 12 rounds
Lasted 11 rounds and i was shocked!
One of my favourite heavyweight boxers of all time. Was a complete boxer. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

I love listening to Lenox talk boxing and just generally.
Absolutely love Lennox. The only thing missing from this heavyweight era is another elite level BOXER to compete with Tysons elite level boxing. Imagine if we had someone with the boxing brain of Lennox v the boxing brain of Fury. Wow. All we have (aside from Usyk) is big hitters in Joshua and Wilder. Big hitters get found out by good boxers.
Id say Usyk is right Up there
@paul stewart There only 4 big names in heavyweight boxing today and half of them are fighting tomorrow
Exactly, its why i backed Andre ward to beat Kovalev and Usyk to school AJ, the boxer always makes a big puncher look one dimensional.
Big up Lennox Lewis legendary boxer! And my personal favourite
🇨🇦 is still so proud he chose to fight under the red and white. Lewis is one of the alltime greats and a good dude
Ain't he British not Canadian
I thought he was West Indian.
British born and bred
Good to see that Lennox has still got a good head on his shoulders. Smart boxer and smart guy.
Lennox Lion Lewis
Best interview, learnt a lot from Lennox Lewis. 💪🏾 🥊
Guy was laughing like he didn’t think Tyson could win BUT MY BOI PULLED IT OFF 💪👊🏼👑
Lennox was one of the best ever IMHO ....His generation of heavy weight's where hard hard men ....Watch Shannon Briggs fight Lennox ...Every boxer in this modern generation would not last one round
@Nanendra ThePudi Like who ..name them ?
