When Manny became Lennox' trainer, a whole new Lennox emerged. He became a much better tactician, and his punches were harder and thrown like a real pro. Manny did the same for the Klitschkos. One of the true great trainers.
MYTH!!!! He simply became safety first
@Pardeep Parmar Yes but his approach was jab jab poke poke then soften the victim.
Yes he was
Yup... Lewis-Steward may have been the best ever.
@The Geek Is Strong lennox had more than 1 recipe but he loved to bully a bully sometimes
Lennox Lewis was quite simply one of the greatest Heavyweight Champions of all time. A Class Act.
Oliver mccall knocked him out so did hasim Rachman does that make them "great" in your eyes? 😂😂😂
@@richardsmyth4908 They got lucky, it can happen to best of the best heavyweights.
Never liked him much at the time but your exactly right. Lewis was one of if not the most naturally gifted athletes in the sport of boxing. A extremely intelligent and precise boxer, rarely ever saw him off his game. As a kid I used to say he looked like a woman if he had makeup on. Lol, stupid I know. Luckily I learned to respect a man if he's legit rather than sling hate and misjudge someone I've never even met.
How many fights did Holyfield and Ali lose? Are you saying they are not great fighters?
@@jeffarmstrong3017 hardly an accurate comparison one was a overachieving cruiserweight with a heart problem who fought on too long and the other one was robbed of the best years of his career and still managed to transcend sport .
It's hard to believe Lewis was already 26 in '91. Of course, this is the decade of so many mythical match-ups that never came to be, and of the rise of the dreaded fourth belt - the WBO.
I agree. As many great heavyweight fights and fighters there were in the 90s, there were just as many fights and fighters that never matched up.

Tyson took Biggs heart and soul, he was a shell of his former self (which was rather unspectacular to begin with) at this point.
You see his fight with Bowe ?
more like drugs
They should have takin there time with him. But he was also messing with drugs.
But Tyson ducked Lewis, so he took a soul from a nobody.
Lewis was far superior 2mike Tyson
Damn, Tyrell Biggs has Mr. Miyagi in his corner.
Hahaha
😂
🤣🤣
2:46: The announcer said Lennox's record at this time was "against an almost ludicrously weak list of opponents"
Jeeze! The disrespect by US boxing fraternity against Lewis was never ending. But he kept proving them wrong.
Льюис трахал всех, за кого болела американская публика. Поэтому Льва не любили.
yea it's so tilted and biased and lennox forced them to accept him as the great he is
UK fighters hadn't been a dominant force in boxing for decades. And Biggs had already beaten Lewis at this point. There was no reason to Lewis as anything other than an underdog before the fight began.
@@dadevi I don’t think Lewis was an underdog coming into this fight.
@@dadevi Lewis had already beaten Gary Mason, who beat Biggs himself. The Lewis fight was Biggs’ fifth loss, and he was coming off a knockout defeat to Bowe.
Feel sorry for Biggs, from Gold medallist to a kinda journeyman boxer. Suspect out of ring issues got the better of him.
I think he started using again after the Tyson fight
Tyson was incredible , speed with total aggression and sensational punching power, Tyson was untouchable at that time.
I mean, that first knockdown was the most leveraged and perfectly landed step in power right hand I've seen besides the one Joe Louis landed to end the first Conn fight
16:58. “Very little head movement for Lewis. Could be a problem later on.”
17:03: “Down goes Biggs!”
Lewis uno de los mejores boxeadores de todos los tiempos
Bowe threw his WBC Belt in the trash instead of facing Lewis in the pros. Would have loved to have seen that fight.
I don't think Lewis could have run fast enough to catch Bowe. Bowe was terrified of Lewis.
@@BrooklynAvenue I agree with you 100%
Bowe was terrified of Lewis
@@BrooklynAvenue He didn't have to run. Bowe was already re - tired.
You only need to watch what Lewis did to Ruddock to know how Bowe would have ended up.
Lewis had no respect for Biggs , walked through him.
,
A!
Biggs had no respect for himself
@Jaiden Rigney how he doing now? Drug free? He broke?
Lewis comes across as an easy going guy on TV but he was a mean fighter, especially in the early days, look at this fight and the Ruddock bout. He had a very tough fight with Bruno in my opinion but when he caught Bruno and shook him, well he piled on the pressure and finished it in style.
@Jaiden Rigney how's he doing now ?
'Biggs doesn't look as sharp as he did against Bowe'.
Lol. That's because he's fighting Lewis.
Biggs always looked distressed when he fought!
maybe the fight against tyson still giving him nightmares
The cocaine had him at this time. Poor what drugs does to you.
@@yizzlekizzle2311 as rick james would say, "cocaine is a hell of a drug!"
@@yizzlekizzle2311 Briggs gave Bowe real problems in the fight he had before this one so I don't think it was that he was totally washed up. Even at this stage if Lewis was on song he was hell of a fighter. He just didn't achieve consistancy until he linked up with Manny.
always
Lewis was a great mover. Good to watch.
Biggs actually beat Lewis s in the Olympics and went on to win gold. Lewis stayed in the amateurs another 4 years and won his gold over Bowe in the 88 Olympics
Impressive! Lewis was fiercely agressive against Golota too... much later. 👍🏼
Biggs was never the same after Tyson. Tyson ruined him.
This. Dude looks slow and unsure. Weird how one encounter can destroy someones confidence so much.
True. Tyson and cocaine. Plus he had no killer instinct.
I have ti Say that this type of Lewis was One of best heavyweights i' Ve seen.
"I wonder if his long amateur career will negatively affect Lennox Lewis career?"
Oh Larry if u only knew
Merchant is the same person who early in Tyson's career surmised he didn't have one-punch power and needed to hit opponents multiple times in order to stop them.
tlig Lmao wouldn’t put it past him, I’ve heard him say a lot of stupid shit but that takes the cake.
If only Larry knew anything about boxing.
All of you bashing Merchant... he can say foolish things at times, but he could also be a very amusing, clever, and intelligent commentator/analyst at times as well. He’s an exceptionally unique and classic personality in boxing broadcast history, one of the best ever in that regard... his very, very dry, old-man-like delivery is original and unmistakeable, and it really works for what he does. Merchant is this bumbling old man you only half pay attention to until he suddenly drops a bomb of sly wit or clever insight or deep wisdom that makes you grin and think “this old man’s really with it after all”. Merchant at his best is slick and intelligent... and the best is when he waits for that little pause in the broadcast commentary and then drops a quotable, like the famous “death by a thousand left hands”, and many, many others. Merchant was practically a quotable machine
It wasn’t only highly incorrect but it was a completely random fruitless thing to say that makes one wonder what goes on in his mind.
clearly, briggs was not at the same level or class with lennox lewis. Period
Biggs had no heart and no fire.
Biggs had beaten him in the Olympics back in ‘84. But clearly Lewis evolved and matured as a boxer to surpass Biggs and in parallel Biggs had declined at this point due to a failed pro career at the elite level. The result was a mismatch between the young, hungry, on-point, prime Lennox Lewis and a past-prime Biggs who was gradually “on his way out”
@@kirklandau2826 lol he started doing drugs after the gold medal he would have pass lewis if not
Lennox was a force
Thanks for the uploads.
10:13 Biggs's trainer suggestion on corner: "Wax on, wax off"
It’s unbelievable that those people were allowed to be commentators. Wow.
Lewis is a monster
If this lewis fought Tyson at this stage - lewis is never lewis
Lewis got better with age. He did look a bit clumsy in some of his earlier fights, but that can be put down to fighting styles. Most boxers were scared of Tyson, but I don’t think Lewis would have been, even early in his career.
+EG T Based on what? That’s a massive assumption on your part, and it seems to be based on nothing more than your own subjective fanboy bias for Tyson
lennox already knock down tyson without mercy.
@@jeremypearson6852
They sparred together one time as teens, first round Mike did Mike and the second Lewis dominated him before Gus stopped it. When he put them together though he called the gym over saying "watch these 2, they're going to be fighting for the World title in the future".
Not to take anything away from Lewis. He did a good job overwhelming Biggs. I think most comments start with Biggs is not because he is an American and Lewis is a Brit. This guy Biggs had a lot of potential, that for some reason was not actualized. When I watched him fight Tyson, I thought it was too early for him to go for Tyson. He needed more before taking on a guy like Tyson. It was a mistake too risky. I think most people wish that Biggs stayed in the game again because of the perceived potential. I have read one comment that Biggs was drinking too much another said he was damaged by Tyson. Whatever the explanation may be his career did not pick up as most of us hoped. I wish him well, I liked the guy.
Biggs was a cocaine addict. The Duva’s cashed out on him by putting him in with Tyson early.
@@lennoxmate4064 It is a shame. I knew there was something wrong but I did not know what it was.
Marchstick tragedy. Very talented fighter.
@@lennoxmate4064 Biggs was my roommate in my last amateur fight in 1980 in Denmark. He was a coke addict then and when he played Basketball at West Philly High.
The Spy yeah i remember reading that it was a problem from his youth. What was Biggs like? He came across as a good guy, flawed but decent.
Lewis was an absolute monster.
Wow he walked threw Biggs! Damn!!
Lennox Lewis was slim here. He got alot bigger as time went on.
Hard to keep the weight down as you get older.
Steroids
@@hawkfall age
No way, he growed up developing only muscles. Steroids for sure.

Lennox Lewis. One of the Goats
George Foreman called Lewis the greatest heavyweight of all time.
@@johndeagle4389 Yet Lewis ducked Foreman. Just watch the post fight of Holy Bowe I. Foreman was panting for a chance to fight Lewis
@@bobber0623 Lewis would have won a 12 round unanimous decision against Foreman. Foreman had one of the greatest chins of all time. I have communicated with George Foreman through email. Do you want his email address?
@@bobber0623 Lewis didn't duck Foreman.
And i'm a Foreman fan.
I was sad to see Briggs win the fight against George Foreman but it was a good decision (made by boxing organisation because Foreman won that) because Foreman next fight would be Lennox Lewis.
At that time, it was better for Foreman to stop fighting.
I'm sure that Lennox Lewis would won on unanime decision.
@@johndeagle4389 hi John.
Can you give me his address please, i want to send him one.
Biggs actually had a good jab and good footwork but how come he gassed out and breathing heavily after only 2 rounds? You could see in third round he's already breathing with his mouth
@mrc121002 Fit enough to become "undisputed heavyweight champ of the world "...was all that mattered 😉
No chin
biggs was throwing a lot more punches than he was used to
Much respect to guys like Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson & Evander Holyfield. They took all opponents as they came and never ducked anyone
Not so sure about that ... why did Lewis & Holyfield wait to fight Tyson after prison? Why did Tyson not fight Bowe? Why did Bowe and Lewis never fight ? Holyfield is really the guy who took em all on for the most part.
@@djrondo1224 Of all the guys u mentioned, I know of Bowe ducking Lewis. That one was for all to see, Bowe threw his championship belt in the bin in press conference rather than fight Lewis. I'm not so sure if Lewis and Holyfield actually WAITED for Tyson to come out of prison (implying that they ducked him before). I have never heard of a formal challenge for a fight between them which had been turned down.
We must accept that Mike Tyson's imprisonment disturbed his career & a lot of potential fights, even with boxers u mentioned. U even admit later in your comment that Holyfield never ducked anyone. Only Bowe ever ducked a fight in that generation of boxers.
@@skeelo6219
Well let’s just say Lewis did not want to fight Bowe until a little later in his career after he started working with Emmanuel Stewart so maybe Bowe was returning the favor. And you are right no contract or anything formal for Lewis or Holyfield before Tyson went to prison but everyone got in line after when they saw he was not quite the same Iron Mike. And ya Holyfield fought Bowe 3x and Tyson 2 and everyone else Foreman, Lewis, Moore etc..
@@djrondo1224 We must remember that Iron Mike was still a young man of about 25/26 years old when he was imprisoned. I don't think he would not have fought any, if not all of the said boxers, had he not been imprisoned. As for Bowe maybe 'getting back on Lewis' by not agreeing to fight him (Lewis) and sacrificing his World Championship Belt just to prove a point to Lewis?? That would be major pettiness, don't u think? I tend to believe another view. I think Bowe knew what was in store for him should he go ahead with the fight and he chose to 'excuse himself' .
@@skeelo6219
I think Bowe beats Lewis up until 1995. Once Lewis started working with Emanuel Steward then I put my money on Lewis. Bowe was a better fighter early in pro career. Lewis had bad footwork and struggled vs fighters who,could jab and Bowe was as big with a better jab. Bowe at that time was also much better on the inside. Lewis takes a trilogy 2-1. Also Tyson was never got on the level he was on before being imprisoned.
To my humble opinion, Lennox Lewis is the best ever heavyweight boxer. The most complete.
Ali .. always. And I say that as a Brit and HUGE Lennox fan. Lennox c 5 th best
Stop alcool, you are big crazy
1st Ali (nobody beats a prime Ali especially the Ali from '64-'67).
He's definitely in the conversation
The most complet? If you think that's so then I question your opinion & eye sight.
Lewis was such a class act. Made boxing look easy.
Totally true.
@Wilson Why should he... Past his prime and enthusiasm, he beat him once. Or don't "cuts" count, in your queensberry rules...??? zzzzz
@Wilson Meldrick Taylor (If you're old enough to remember,) was schooling Cesar Chavez, then got beat. What's your point.?? It was RIGHTLY stopped. Who fucking won.?????? zzzzz You're talking nonsense. Lewis in his prime, was a class above Klitshcko. It was an "Off night." He had nothing left to prove, and decided not to do what many fighters wished they hadn't. He pussied out of NO fight. That was Riddick Bowe's job. Tyson is a LEGEND, and sadly, needed the money. Lewis obliged. This was all before the Klitshko brothers, bored the arse off the entire planet for years, fighting handpicked opponents. Thank God for Tyson Fury.
Q w
@Wilson ....Klitschko beat a bunch of nobodies unlike lewis who beat the best
Thought the US commentary team was being unfair to Lennox here. They even said Biggs might beat him at the start of the fight.
What's this music in the background when Biggs enters the ring? sounds like Booker T. and the MGs.
The moment Biggs stepped into the ring he was looking for a nice spot to lay down
"a nice spot to lay down" for a picnic.
LOL 😂
Hahaha
Hahaha u killed me man
It's safer down there....
Gee Larry didn't mind talking him down did he?
Biggs snorted his career away. What a waste.
True, but all we can do is the best we can. It's all we can do. That's just how it goes sometimes.
The Lewis jab as good as The Larry Holmes jab. Nasty bang ugggghhh
Massively underestimated and underrated by the Americans at this time 😉
Merchant calling him amateur 😂😂
I'm American but I respect British Boxers they have a lot of skill. Much respect to British fighters
@Cheesy Helmet I like European people obviously there are good people in every race that want to do the right things.
+Cheesy Helmet The British might have originated the sport, but it was Americans who truly took it over and carried the torch and evolved boxing to ever new and unprecedented levels. Americans in general, but especially Black Americans
+T-MUSTAFA 33 Haha and what are “the right things”?
That wasn't the case until the Big Dog came on the scene.
Thanks Brother, much respect for sure.
It was great to see Lennox compete in the Olympics he competed in 84 games and in 1988. I'm smaller than him but I'm motivated. I have to compete at least 2 yrs in amateur competition. Before I even think about the pros
You’re an amateur boxer? From England or America? What’s your name and record?
Mike Tyson ruined Biggs career. Destroyed him! Toyed with him prior to finishing him! Tyson fought him when he was 15-0, still had potential but Tyson took it all from him!
True on that
Biggs was long gone before Tyson, ruined by drugs an alcohol. Such a wast of talent...
@mrc121002 I believe u
Douglas dealt with Tyson even more harshly
mrc121002 what the hell are you talking about? What proof do you have? That's a crazy statement. More than just your aunt would've said something about it.
Your aunt is a liar and you're as gullible as a 5 year old.
I luv how Lennox man tried to lift him up after the fight then was like... not gonna happen
This was Lewis at his best. When he was slim, fit and fast.
Lewis stayed amateur for like 19,000 years because he was really a lil' biznitch
Biggs could have been a solid contender if he ha a bit more muscle and more venom in his striking...
All in the mind. The only thing he lacked was mental
How can this be the 1st heavyweight fight between two gold medalists since 1973?
When Foreman and Frazier fought twice, 1973 was the 1st fight..
This would be the 1st heavyweight fight between 2 hold medalists since the 2nd Foreman-Frazier fight
amazing performance
cheers
Biggs was completely out of breath after 1 min of action, his girl would be terribly disappointed of him.
In Che anno e’ successo?grazie
This isn't the same guy who fought tyson in 87
Tyson ended his career
@@robertkulikowski6380 Cocaine did a ton of damage to Biggs. He sniffed his talent away. Drugs ruined him. He put all that money from his Tyson fight into coke partying. He had nothing after. His commitment to himself was gone.
Lewis was the perfect example of what I call a hybrid : a cross between a boxer and a puncher.
They can knock opponents out with one solid punch but they can also box technically and land a lot of punches in critical areas. And because they hit so hard, all those hits really tear down their opponents. Larry Merchant called it search & destroy.
The greatest thing about hybrids is that they can outbox punchers and outpunch boxers. That's why a peak 6"5 Lennox Lewis could have beaten anybody, Riddick Bowe included.
Mike Tyson was a swarmer or in fighter not boxer puncher.
True
I'm glad I came across this. Lennox wasnt a hybrid fighter. Lennox used his height and reach to his advantage, realized that he was a better boxer than puncher and leaned on that. Then he sat and studied opponents before facing them, not to mention picking up a better trainer. All these things carried him, lennox is not a talented puncher at all, athletically, he was never really the underdog fighter, had an issue with Tyrell biggs here when tyson didn't. Literally the biggest example of taking advantage of the times.
@@loveconquersall2187 not a talented puncher ? you must dumb as a stick
I suspect the ultimate example of a ‘hybrid fighter’ is Tommy Hearns. A devastating puncher with great boxing skills. A much more fluid fighter than Lewis with great speed of punch and punch variation. Ironically from the same Kronk / Manny Steward camp
Holyfield at 29 years old wow I never thought he was ever 29 years old
The game is over, Congrats Lennox Lewis also to Tyrel Biggs for the showed us amazing.
Tyson ruined biggs career 🥺
Tyrell Biggs is a poster boy for NOT doing meth. What a wasted talent.
To day merchant days will be a great day for boxing
Please add more fights
How about listing the year of the fight in the summary.
Biggs learned to love the canvas.
Lewis punches so hard!
Thunderous!!
I am not a Lewis fan, yet this shows the better boxer in him . The first knockdown was a clean hook, perfect.
Emanuel Stewart seen that talent coming need to chip away the rough edges an add foot work then championships👍 the power was always there!
This marked the beginning of the end of great heavyweight eras.
True, although the current era we’re in now is pretty good, just not quite to the level of some of the great Golden Age eras of the past. We do have at least two great heavyweights now in Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and a number of other formidable fighters at the elite level, such as Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk, Joseph Parker, Andy Ruiz Jr, Dereck Chisora, etc... and the talented upcoming Jared Anderson, who’s very early in his career, but is likely on-track to become the next great long-awaited American HW champ
And actually, nah, it wasn’t the “beginning of the end”, it was simply the Golden Age’s final great HW era... the 1990s. The 90s were indisputably a great HW era.
I wish I could share your excitement brother..
But I'm holding on for the Tyson Vs Evander exhibition.
Did Duva really think Biggs was going to beat young hungry Tyson? 🤦🏻♂️
I can make my booty quack
Sure, why not? James Tillis nearly did, and Biggs had some similarities of style and attributes to Tillis... height, reach, speed, crafty pure boxer style. In fact, Biggs was even taller than Tillis, and was heralded as an even more talented boxer, because he was an Olympic gold medalist and highly decorated amateur. Biggs was a truly phenomenal talent with a wealth of amateur experience, but he fell apart and declined rapidly as a pro due to his addiction problems and lifestyle and lack of commitment to training seriously. Biggs at his best could’ve been an all-time-great, and was surely even better than James Tillis or Buster Douglas. But he just never manifested as he should’ve
Damn Larry puts words in mouths.
In his effort to force a narrative.
gold of the gold medalist champion
Wow I did not realize Biggs was slightly taller than Lewis. Lewis always seemed like a mythical size on screen.
I think unlike what was shown in this video, Lewis is almost a close 6 foot 5=inch guy, Tyrell Biggs is probably half an inch taller around 6 foot 5.5inches or perhaps a shade more. Lewis looked huge in the later part of his career because he grew into size - from 230.5 pounds in this fight all the way to nearly 248 and then 258 in his last fight. The 18 pounds increase in weight makes an already tall fighter look huger. It also helps that even today barring 3-4, not much heavyweights are over 6 foot 6 (Zhang, Joyce, Makhmudev, Fury and Wilder come to mind).
It's disgraceful the disdain the American commentators showed towards Lewis. Especially the comment about him wanting to fight bums. The yanks never really respected him I think.
Biggs, really made a fool out of himself he should have quit awhile ago he knew he was going to loss.
Lennox Lewis at this stage of his career already looks very well-rounded, lethal and savvy: He has a great jab and utilizes very strong looping/straight counter-punches, very effectively and deftly. He has a good arsenal of very powerful -though quasi-telegraphed- punches in close range, especially that overhead right smash and the uppercut.
I however, don't like the fact that he's often not active enough in letting his fists fly and I hate the fact -whether he can get away with it or not- that he feels the need or desire to tie his opponents up so often, which I feel is a form of 'cheating' that even the great Muhammad Ali utilized far too often, also, and got away with it. If I was fighting Lewis, and I won the fight -- I wouldn't offer him a rematch simply because of how often Lewis ties his opponent up like Ali did. That would be incredibly annoying to me as a fighter. I would never tie an opponent up, if I could help it, except in rare circumstances -as tying someone up shows a flaw in my confidence and/or fighting abilities...
Bad fortune for Biggs to face Lewis. From the first moment he was pulverising and bullying the crap out of him.
Lewis has awesome uppercuts!
Biggs had the best jab ever seen in combat sports
It's all about technique & champion mentality. It has nothing to do with muscles.
You can be a champion and a 18 year boy can KO you out there.
Lewis was fast & got precision.
No one could live with him.
Larry Merchant....smh THE WORST fight commentator boxing has ever had. Takes the term cynical to a whole f new level. Don't get me started on his post fight interviews either.
I can't stand him
He's drunk
He always tries to say something profound and clever rather than just calling the action... I remember the Tyson fight he tried this tortured metaphor "the crowd was her to see Godzilla and the wrong guy ended up being Godzilla before that knockdown"
Actually that fight was one of his best, simply because he was so shocked by what was happening he had few canned observations. He had one of his best calls in the 8th round when Douglas suddenly came on... Lampley was babbling about something when Douglas landed a devastating combination that drove Tyson into the ropes and Merchant blurted out "MIKE IS HURT!!!!" with pure shock and astonishment. I'll never forget that moment
You’re clueless. Larry Merchant is one of the greatest and most unique commentators of all time. The sly, clever, slow-talking old man with the driest sense of humor who fumbles with his words but then suddenly drops bombs of comedic wit or brilliant insight out of nowhere, not to mention quotables galore
Biggs wasn’t ready for this fight looks like he’s winded in the first round
I don’t even know why they bother to mention the pros amateur and especially Olympic records, because they’ve almost always become a completely different fighter by then! And Biggs is a perfect example of this fact!
Pretty damn impressive in my book
After Tyson destroyed Biggs, he was never the same
Boss era un buen boxeador pero nunca estuvo ala altura los mejores Tyson Lewis bowe holyfield
Well I remember when Biggs was a big name yeah 18-5 ain’t bad by no means.
"He only wants to fight bums". LL went on to prove it to be a very inaccurate comment.
They didn’t say that. They said his *managers* only want him to fight bums (at this very early point of his career). Of course that all changed around the time of this fight. That narrative already should’ve been laid to rest by the fact that he had just taken a big step-up in competition fighting Biggs. But you know how it is. Every boxer gets doubted a bit UNTIL they consistently fight and beat elite guys, which was what Lennox had began doing from this point forward
I was rooting for Biggs!
Well he survived to Tyson in his prime so ...
Only running away from tyson
@@joseeduardomartinezmartine3494 And he was knocked down three times though by Tyson
Biggs was an Olympic Gold medalist! He did not pan out good in the pros!
Post _Tyson Biggs was a shadow of his former self. Tyson who showed up in the Biggs fight was a force of destruction. He would have destroyed Holyfield, Bowe and even Lennox Lewis.
Mavhanga Makumbane, stop your nonsensical fanboy/ Tyson worshipping bullshit, Lewis is one of the greatest of the greats. were as Tyson is not"
Nice
The LA Olympics, what do they say.."in the USA you have to knock the yank out to get a draw".
very good fighter, arguably the best.
I'm not big as Lennox Lewis but I like his style I'm 6 foot 3 2 inches shorter than Lennox
Lennox Lewis is a COMPLETE BOXER. I think he stands out as the Best boxer of all time
Disrespectful of Lewis's record prior to this - Weaver and McCrory were no pushovers. Mike Tyson after the same amount of fights had fought literally nobody - it's standard for any up and coming boxer to have an 'easy' run early doors.
Biggs just wasn’t a great puncher. And being so big he was an easy target for the better heavyweights.
Why does it seem as though nobody knows what a shovel hook is? I mean, technically there are only 4 categories of punches, straight punches, hooks, shovel hooks and uppercuts, the rest of them are all variations of those... so why is it that people can't remember just 4 different kinds of punches? Why are shovel hooks always left out? They are very distinct by their angle and power and are some of the best short-ranged weapons a boxer has. Lennox Lewis uses them very effectively, and they are NOT uppercuts!!
Raid Unhinged the four main punches in boxing are universally recognized as jab, hook, uppercut and cross.
