Lewis got lucky with that cut on Klitschko (Vitali) otherwise he would have 3 losses on his resume. He wisely retired after dodging that bullet, but that is not to take anything away from the great (somewhat underrated) career Lewis had. He beat all the top fighters of his era (with the exception of Bowe who famously would not fight Lewis and threw his belt in the trash rather than defend it against Lennox) and he avenged both of his losses (both by KO) with KO victories of his own (although the one against McCall was a TKO because he had a very sad psychological breakdown in the ring). He is a rare champion that avenged his losses and went out on top, he retired stayed retired and didn't come back to tarnish his legacy by getting beat as an old man for pay days. Kudos Mr. Lewis!
if there is one chink in Lewis' armor is that his chin was questionable. Even though he only lost twice (both by KO), it's because Lewis was a very smart fighter and used his size and reach to his advantage to always maintain distance from his opponent. He didn't get hit a lot because of this (again smart fighter); but when he did get hit he usually didn't take it well as evidenced by two one-punch KO losses by average fighters IMO. That's an example of numbers don't always tell the whole story. Take Tyson's 6 losses (5 by KO), if you look at numbers you would think he had a much weaker chin than Lewis, but that is nowhere near the truth. Tyson's first KO loss was to Buster Douglas and he was absolutely pummeled for 10 rounds before finally going down after one of those vicious combination of punches from a heavyweight ever. He took a beating that most fighters could never withstand. Lewis was never tested like that because he just didn't get hit that much (again that is a testament to his skill as a defensive boxer more than a dig against his chin).
Tanto que le chupan el que les conté a Lewis, la realidad ES QUE TENÍA PERITA DE CRISTAL. Lastima que pocos se dieron cuenta de ello y lo aprovecharon.

The snake Don King was everywhere at those times.
Lewis is the most underrated heavyweight champion of all time

Can't stand Lewis ! He dodged great fighters in his prime he sucks.
I thought lenx never lost a fight or was it as the champ he never lost
Lennox could still fight against McCall
I saw this clip for almost 1k times. Hate him so badly
Oliver tahan pukulan
Puas rasanya liat dia tiduran dialas ring tinju hhhhhhhhhhh
Without that cut Vitali Klitschko would of beaten him too.

Looks like the Lewis sack of potatoes didn’t last too long as so called champion!
that canvas so comfortable for Lewis
😝😝😝😝😝😝🙉🙉🙉😹😹😹
ibaratnya Lennox Lewis tak pernah kalah…" MC Cal & Hasim semua sudah di kalahkan kembali oleh Lennox Lewis..
GUAAAU 😲😯😯Fue mas increible el salto que hizo luego de ganar que el k.o en si eso demuestra que es todo un atleta!!.
Only 2 losses?
👊👊👊
Sparked
Lmfao!
He didnt defeat vitali
Lewis was overrated fought tyson when he was out of it not there mentally and evander passed prime rahman rocked him
5t6
Lewis banging his head on the canvass probably did more damage than the punch.
Lennox Lewis terrible personality needed plenty of humble pie in his life. But yeah he was a good boxer
Lennox did not lose many fights
hahaha lewis loss!!! thats what you got !!
All losses lier ?
You're showing only one match looser !
Disliked and reported .
Never liked LL. If he wasn’t tall, he’d have been average. He didn’t have great heart or skill.
Rahman hit Lewis so hard, Lewis' head bounced off the canvas a couple of times. Vicious knockout punch.
I like to see him got knock out
Chinless Lennox 😂😂
@6:03
Perfect example depicting the saying …
" The bigger they are… The harder they fall."
The fall hurt him 3 x more than the punch
What a dumbass that referee was!! The man got up in time and even firmed up his stance by the 10 count
Das hat mir voll gefallen:Volltreffer oh yes 🤣❤️❤️❤️
