Lennox Lewis - How good was he?

[LacedUp]

Ooooh... So for money?

Care to explain why he knocked back £30million for a rematch with Vitali...
"Ooh b-b-but he done doe "
"Lennox out of shape "

Look at the complete utter bias spouting out of you it doesn't surprise me though...
Very hypocritical, its okay to duck one of his biggest pay-days but its fine for him to fight a washed up past it Tyson?
Ofcourse lets all pretend LL was past it to apply to your pathetic little idea you have

Do you have any source that says Lennox would have made £30 million or are you just pulling that out of your arse?

He rarely has a source. He accused AJ of selling steroids, remember?

Frank Bruno would easily be the best guy on Vitali's resume. I don't think there's any question about that.

I also, honestly believe, skill wise etc that Golota would have been the best guy on Wlad's resume. Golota of '97 that is.

You two twits cannot, absolutely cannot be this ******. You just can't.

I literally think Hide would have abused that loser. Bruno was a Brittish joke with fans and nothing more. He literally had no notable wins. None.

Unless a decision over McCall was special.

Semi-retired!!!!!! LOL

Nevermind, I can't crack that thick nugget you've got.

If Lennox was set to retire after the Vitali fight he would have done it right after or announced it beforehand instead of retiring almost the day after the WBC made Vitali the mandatory challenger based on the previous fight.

End of debate ******.

We were talking about before he faced Vitali. He was already seriously considering retirement after the Tyson fight i.e semi retirement.

He came out of semi retirement to bash up Vitali's face and then he took more time out before eventually retiring on top after a legendary career.

It wasn't just about money with Tyson. Lennox had been chasing Tyson for years and needed to get his name on his resume before he retired. Mike Tyson was one of the legendary names still left in the sport and Lewis knew he couldn't retire without fighting him.

Vitali Klitschko was pretty much a nobody when Lewis gave him the opportunity to fight him. He busted his face up and stopped him. There was no drive for Lewis to get himself out of semi-retirement again to fight Vitali. The only motivation would be money and when you start fighting solely for money, you don't perform to your best i.e Lewis-Klitschko I.

He was guaranteed 20 million plus PPV royalties from HBO.

I distinctly remember because I thought it was nuts him turning it down.

Then, ten years later he turned down 50 million.

Pathetic.

Go bum-sniff elsewhere you big cry baby.

[PrinceNaz88]

Imagine what a prime Lewis would have done to Vitali when a shot Lewis beat his face up and stopped him after 6. Would be brutal.

[M Bison]

And whats to say AJ didn't sell steroids...
If you can sell narcotics you can sure as hell expect him to sell steroids if he was handed them, regardless he was a drug dealer which is the truth.
Being a drug dealer selling steroids isn't actually as bad as being one with *******/weed and the other killer drugs.

Either way he got off lightly for being a gold medalist.

If people can hold convictions against Adonis then why not AJ... Because he is British amirite?

[Boxing Goat]

Another fighter who would be far better than anyone on either Klitschko's resume.

Lol, even betther than when Wlad stopped that same fighter for the first time in his career?

Keep digging buddy. Keep digging.
