Lennox Lewis is Underrated?

Question

Ok, i see people writing that Lewis is over rated, Im wondering if they can come up with any reason why Lewis is overrated or if they are just talking out their ***.

Answer 1

The only negative thing I have to say against Lewis is that he clowned around against Rahman and got KO'd.  Lewis was a top notch heavyweight.  I have him number 19 all time.

Answer 2

i don't think for a moment that lennox is over rated.

granted, he had a suspect chin, but so had patterson.....even dempsey, louis ali, marcian  & johnson hit the canvas at one point or another.

the fact of the matter is that lewis beat everybody in the division, avenged his only losses (the only heavyweight champ to do so), and the fact that he met an over-the-hill tyson and holyfield is not his fault.

lewis is in most fans top 15 all time greats in the division.

Answer 3

i think anybody who thinks lennox lewis is underated is either stupid or never saw many of the true boxing greats lennox fought in a time with all has beens and bums thats not a great in my book he was even kod by a couple of bums because of his glass chin he won matches by throwing a punch and holding on to his opponent over and over some say he was fast he wasnt anywhere close to alis speed and he didnt hit hard he was a giant and he hit like a girl he was an average fighter looking good in a terrible maybe the most terrible time in the heavyweight division oops im sorry the division is even worse now but thats not saying much watch his fights youll see his mistakes and flaws he made and had alot of them ill give him credit for one thing he had a good jab other than that lewis never impressed me your listons louiss foremans shavers prime tysons or holyfields would of kod him easily he would of looked bad against them his most noted fighters were tyson washed up holyfield washed up golata washed up tony tucker washed up and ill throw in pumped up cruiserweight david tua who the giant lewis couldnt ko LEARN YOUR FACTS  PEACE

Answer 4

Lewis is totally underrated. he was one of the best heavies of all time. Huge power, great jab, and fought smart. I find it funny too that people say he had a glass chin. That is total baloney. Amazingly he got hit with two perfect punches by big heavyweights and got knocked out. The heavy division is the one division where one punch can change a fight. Heactually had a good chin as is evidenced by some of the shots he took from some other big hitter, like vitali, and didnt go down.

He is definitely a great boxer
