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 .
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.
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
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.
Damn, Tyrell Biggs has Mr. Miyagi in his corner.
Hahaha
😂
🤣🤣
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 ?
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
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.
@@David-rc3bzstop glazing
@David-rc3bz of course he was he wasn't fighting legit contenders
Tyson destroyed his carrer… Lewis was lucky to get pro after 1988…
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.
Impressive! Lewis was fiercely agressive against Golota too... much later. 👍🏼
Lennox was a force
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.
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.
I have ti Say that this type of Lewis was One of best heavyweights i' Ve seen.
Lewis is a monster
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.
Lewis was an absolute monster.
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.
Steroids
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
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’s unbelievable that those people were allowed to be commentators. Wow.
Wow he walked threw Biggs! Damn!!
Thought the US commentary team was being unfair to Lennox here. They even said Biggs might beat him at the start of the fight.
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....
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.
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
Lennox Lewis is a COMPLETE BOXER. I think he stands out as the Best boxer of all time
Gee Larry didn't mind talking him down did he?
Lennox best Canadian boxer ever
Lewis' best fight was against a fellow Brit ... Gary Mason... an unknown dangerous Heavyweight who only lost once... to Lewis... he had 34 KO's in 37 fights. On paper he was dangerous and Lewis took the fight anyway. Props to him. Biggs gets props for showing up
To this day I’m still pissed that Bowe and Lewis never faced each. Prime Bowe was pretty damn good and appeared to have all the tools. Lewis was on a roll and they disliked each other and to think What could have been. Most say Bowe ducked Lewis but boxing shot itself in the foot so many times it had no toes. Bunch of crooks and now we have to watch MMA because of these thieves !
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
Thanks for the uploads.
Before this K.O Biggs had been K.O´ed 4 times.
And after this match he was knocked out two more times.
Just wow!
"ludicrously weak opponents" Typical arrogance from US commentators. Lewis was only two years a pro at this stage, he'd already knocked out unbeaten top 10 ranked Gary Mason, former champ Mike Weaver along with McCrory and Occasio who both held the cruiserweight title. They expecting him to fight Tyson already??
Michael Aiston has little to do with US vs Brit commentators. The same commentators leveled the same criticisms against a young Tyson and a young Bowe.
Merchant calling him amateur 😂😂
Tyson ruined biggs career 🥺
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
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.
Holyfield at 29 years old wow I never thought he was ever 29 years old
Lewis has awesome uppercuts!
Bowe was scared to face Lewis but would have faced Tyson all day long!
You think? Go ask Frank Bruno what he had to say about both Lewis and Tyson.
@@MrElchav "I rather fight Lewis once a month, than Tyson once a year". Frank Bruno
@@magnuslundberg9675 Bam!
@sylvano81OM The only chance for Bruno to get the fight with Mccall and become world champion was if he signed to fight Tyson next if he won. I think he fought Tyson the 2nd time because he had no choice if he ever wanted to become world champion. In my opinion Bruno was beating Lewis up until the 7th round, but against Tyson he never really had a chance.
@@magnuslundberg9675 Your opinion is right. Bruno won the first 6 rounds vs Lennox Lewis then got caught by a left hook of all things. He never recovered
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
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...
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?
Lennox lewis was a truly humble gentleman
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.
What's this music in the background when Biggs enters the ring? sounds like Booker T. and the MGs.
Emanuel Stewart seen that talent coming need to chip away the rough edges an add foot work then championships👍 the power was always there!
You can say anything about Biggs but he fought prime Tyson, Bowe and Lewis.
Even he gets KO'd badly in all those fights.
Tyrell Biggs is a poster boy for NOT doing meth. What a wasted talent.
"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
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"
Damn Larry puts words in mouths.
In his effort to force a narrative.
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!
Bad fortune for Biggs to face Lewis. From the first moment he was pulverising and bullying the crap out of him.
"Biggs was a great amateur."No. Biggs was a boring amateur. The only thing exciting about him as a pro was that he got beat up.
Biggs wasn’t ready for this fight looks like he’s winded in the first round
Boss era un buen boxeador pero nunca estuvo ala altura los mejores Tyson Lewis bowe holyfield
Man, Lampley and Merchant used to hate big time on Lewis. Lennox 17-0 record was call ludicrous and weak because of his resume,
1. He was still considered a prospect.
2 Up to that point Lewis defeated decent names on his resume such as Gary Mason who was undefeated 35-0 and former world champs Mike Weaver and Glenn McCroy. Not saying world beaters but a good test for an upcomer
3. Bowe's resume at 18-0 was way worse and had zero name recognitions and worse was they never trashed Bowe once he was champion for his defenses against Dokes and Fergueson
Im pretty sure Pinklon Thomas, Biggs, Tubbs, Seldon and Coetzer were far better than Mason McCroy and Weaver who was literally a Grandpa. Jim and Larry criticize Bowe heavy after Ferguson even though Ferguson beat Mercer as a tune up when Mercer was signed to Bowe and Dokes was on a 13 winning streak and literally his first defense. Dokes and Ferguson were more credible than Phil Jackson and McCall. Larry Merchant and Jim Lamply were actually huge Lewis fanboys like you and admitted after McCall lost that they thought Lewis would never lose and were his biggest supporters.
I was rooting for Biggs!
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 had the best jab ever seen in combat sports
Well I remember when Biggs was a big name yeah 18-5 ain’t bad by no means.
I'm not big as Lennox Lewis but I like his style I'm 6 foot 3 2 inches shorter than Lennox
gold of the gold medalist champion
amazing performance
cheers
To day merchant days will be a great day for boxing
If this Lewis fought Tyson, he would have stopped Tyson in 2 rounds!
Everybody talks about how Lewis got better as he aged, and he did, but he also got more boring. He always showed up whenever it was a common opponent with Iron Mike.
Don’t think so Tyson had a great chin he couldn’t k o him in 2002 in two rounds when mike was fucked up on coke n alcohol
@@johntaylor9825 Tyson was NEVER fucked up on Coke and Alcohol!
“Biggs is a stylish heavyweight”
Not much sign of that in this fight...jab has some quality but flat footed ,balance problems and like a rabbit in the headlights in round 1
John Allen thats the cocania!
Agreed. I think he knew if any punch at all landed his jaw would shatter. Jab lacked the snap it had against Tyson. He was a light puncher with sloppy defense and a terrible chin. Great for amateurs where they used to wear head gear and only go three rounds --- but terrible for pros
Yeah, he lost with style!
Biggs was good and very stylish but was an opponent at this stage
I gotta be honest, when I first saw Lennox fight as a pro (against Levi Billups, I believe), I wasn't impressed. Aside from his physical strength and power he seemed limited. I had no idea he'd go on to become, in my opinion, the best heavyweight of all time.
+Erik Rabe Rostad Shhhh. That just your fanboy opinion and nothing else. Few (if any) objective boxing experts/connoisseurs seriously consider Tyson as a candidate for the greatest HW of all time. He sure as hell isn’t greater than Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis for example. Even of or around Tyson’s era, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield were arguably greater than Tyson. Or even Larry Holmes before him. But do you really think Tyson is greater than guys like Ali, Liston, Frazier, or Foreman? C’mon. Watch Tyson’s fight with James Tillis and tell me then how you think he’d have fared against a prime Muhammad Ali. Both Holyfield and Lewis managed to decisively beat Tyson, albeit Tyson was arguably past his best years at that point, but still... (a Muhammad Ali who was arguably past his best years in the 70s still managed to beat legendary fighters like Frazier, Foreman, and Norton, among others)
+Chris Acosta This is a common theme with the more modern superheavyweights, of which Lennox Lewis was a forerunner. People are used to seeing smaller, lighter heavyweights with greater mobility, speed, agility, etc. The smaller you are the easier it is to be and look and perform like a boxing wizard and athletic phenom, whereas for REALLY big guys that’s more difficult. Doesn’t mean the skillset and athleticism isn’t still there in a relative sense for their size, you just have to understand what you’re watching. And of course the size itself is a factor, a serious advantage that compensates, at least in part, for the diminishment in other attributes. Long story short, people grossly underrated the Klitshchko brothers the same way, and in more recent years the great Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have been similarly disregarded. All are exceptionally skilled and athletic modern superheavyweights in the same prototype as the great Lennox Lewis. Size matters haha
Precision bombing by Lennox.
Biggs already dead by Tyson in 87. Lennox work became easy in 98. Biggs not same.. Lennox never faced anyone in their prime, may be few new ones
Lewis beat HolyField and HolyField beat Tyson. I would love to see a young prime Tyson versus young prime Lewis. HolyField is my fave boxer in 2021. Lewis beat an old Tyson. Lewis definitely has reach n height advantage over Tyson and Lewis has power. But to see Tyson in his early professional years against an early professional years Lewis would excite me. Lewis has smarts and patience in the ring. Tyson was more seek and destroy. HolyField has a god chin and you can't train for a god chin you are gifted with it but a god chin can be honed (having been refined or perfected over a period of time). I respect Lewis (3 time heavy weight champ) I respect Tyson (youngest unified champ and later 2nd time champ) and I respect HolyField (4 time heavy weight champ and one time cruiser weight champ). I respect Foreman in his early heavy weight boxing career and oldest heavy weight champ. (I just watched the Tyson vs Biggs fight.) Very interesting to see the fight of Tyson vs Biggs and compare to Lenox Lewis vs. Tyrell Biggs. Tyson is seek and destroy and Lewis was calm and patient against Biggs. Both Lewis and Tyson did damage to Biggs. Lewis knocked down Biggs more times than Tyson and to me was less aggressive than Tyson. Lewis being calm and collective with smart punching instead of Tyson just trying to bull doze Biggs down.
Just out of curiosity, why do you spell Holyfield as “HolyField”? Is there some significance to this? Holyfield is also one of my all-time favorites, an incredibly underrated, legendary boxer who had so many classic fights. Prime Lewis vs prime Tyson would’ve been amazing, I agree. In that matchup I’d probably lean slightly towards Lewis to win. His height and length and reach and strength and power and boxing skill all would’ve given Tyson some serious fucking problems, and I believe Lewis was about just as great as Tyson, if not even greater.
@@kirklandau2826 my bad, I did not know how to spell Holyfield the correct way. Now I know :)
Hopefully Bigg's retired after this pathetic showing.🙄🙄😒😒
How about listing the year of the fight in the summary.
Lenox perfect specimen for boxing !!!
And look who Tyson was matched against in his first 18 fights, nobodies, to make him look good. American commentary is so biased against Lewis.
@Erik Rabe Røstad really??
I’ve seen this several times, this time I’ve turned the commentary off!
Lewis definitely is top 5 heavyweights
If Biggs would have had the right mind set not mess with drugs and not put in to early with Tyson might have been a pretty good heavyweight🤔that's to bad.🤤
America was on notice. Your monopoly of the heavyweight division was done.
The LA Olympics, what do they say.."in the USA you have to knock the yank out to get a draw".
Please add more fights
Even it is strong punch that show as beaten attack by Lennox a wanted to rise in fight again unfortunately no more strength to stand. Sad..
Biggs should have retired after his loss to Mike Tyson. Biggs just didn't have that heavyweight strength or power. Lennox walked through him like he wasn't even their. Hell but the great Lennox could walk through mostly anyone!
very good fighter, arguably the best.
No confidence getting in the ring, didn't want to know 😕 beforehand
This is the Omni?
Pretty damn impressive in my book
Fight starts At 7:00
👍
After Tyson destroyed Biggs, he was never the same
Lennox was such a beast. He would absolutely smoke the current crop of the heavyweights, I doubt anyone could go longer that 5-6 rounds with him.
Tyrell added punching while keeping range smoothly.
Punching quick mid-range, then using a shoulder to block with a semi-Philly shell
Able to punch to the body fast from a counter left to right quick
Able to come in with a quick combo, back up, get punches landed on, then return smoothly. I can name more, but I don't have to.
Ali clinched a lot,bounced too much, which Joe/karl/Cooper began to be able to read and countered him easily,had hands down low often,used head movement but not the way modern used it, which was head blocking with hands.,
Its very obvious len would destroy ali
And len koed all the modern versions of the top 70s guys in style
He koed ace who was a way more advanced liston my video shows this
He destroyed golata a man who had the stance of George but with real defense and who was way tougher then george
He gave koed as I said the modern ali named was tyrell
The modern young name was noel the difference is he was bouncing alot jim didnt
Fought justin who was the modern frazier but who wasnt as basic as joe he was beat
El encabezado es Lewis vs Bigg la paliza del año
Biggs was game but Lewis had to much power
8:59 Is that Boris Johnson third row centre?
Man Lewis looks so much lighter here than he did later in his career as the champ
Man, that line about Super Nintendo was seriously cringe inducing.
Didn’t know Mr Miyagi also trained Tyrell Biggs
Lennox maravilhoso
