Lennox Lewis - Interview With Jonathan Ross - part 1

[PrimeAliProductions]

WBF wtf???

[PrimeAliProductions]

Ali wud kill him

[MrAtex13]

best boxer of all time

[truebeliever786]

I swear Lennox Lewis is just mad...

[CasparWilson]

he can just about talk ok....only some damage. Still though, can't be nice to suffer such a high price for sport.

[MirHassanProductions]

Jonathan Ross should interview Iron Mike one day.

[cheatingwanker]

Lennox vs Tyson in 89' no chance mr Lewis.

[truebeliever786]

@cheatingwanker I agree totally, Lennox would probably say the same thing... In fact he did say it after the post-fight interview after the Tyson fight I believe...

[zlEpiphoneSheraton]

Didier Drogba

[Nick2011881]

Lennox Lewis is not the best! if he really is the best then there is no need for him to keep saying he is the best, he was ok but definetly not the best of all times

[keightley2011]

shit audience...

[combatesdeboxeo]

lewis is an all time great with joe louis,marciano,johnson,holmes,­ali,frazier,foreman,tyson,holy­field,dempsey... no question about

[TrolNadTrolami]

LEGEND!

[DeutscheMusikVids]

Vitali Klitschko retired this bum when the WBC ORDERED a rematch and maintained they would be keeping Vitali as no. 1contender for good reason. Lewis was smart enough to know he me a SUPERIOR athlete who was OUTBOXING him 4 rounds to 2 before a freak cut halted the affair.

[11nytram11]

@DeutscheMusikVids Lewis was old, out of shape and not half the fighter he used to be when he met Klitchko, more than that Klitchko was a last minute substitute that Lewis had not prepared to meet. Klitchko may have been superior to that version of Lewis but against Prime Lewis who could say?

Lewis rightfully quit before he became too old and washed up, he didn't want to be another Tyson, an old man clinging on past his time. The Klitchko fight proved his time was over.

[LarS1963]

@DeutscheMusikVids I just love when armchair boxers calls people like Lewis bums. Doh!

If a boxer retires when he is still good, he's a coward.

If a boxer goes on after his prime he's a loser.

Apparantly there's no way for a real boxer to satisfy the armchair boxers of the world.

[farcry2isthebest]

@DeutscheMusikVids no lewis wssmart enough to know he wasnt in his prime plus if vitali faced a prime lewis he would look like the elephant man and lewis would ko him

[nandotime3000]

This is a great interview.

[nastyhabitzL0nd0n]

Lewis is my favourite boxer ever maybe coz im english , tyson may have been the best ever and everyone says if tyson would of fought him in his prime he would of knocked lewis out but both boxers were coming to the end if thier careers and past there peak..........lewis won end of.

[OneSidedPounding]

Tyson in his prime would knock Lennoxs head off.

[iTzNightCrawler]

@OneSidedPounding did he? no will he? no

lets leave it at that

[TheUmarFarooq23]

@iTzNightCrawler

TYSON THE BEST EVER

[TheUmarFarooq23]

@OneSidedPounding

I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!

[ImKoolWithThis]

@OneSidedPounding Lol Tyson was 35 when they fought and Lewis was 36. Lewis is a much a better fighter then Tyson even Foremen agreed. And Lewis proved him self as well. Tyson lost his belt when he was still in his prime to a no named fighter and Buster Douglas. Lewis was even better when he was in his 20's. Tyson is good but Lewis is better.

[maffia440]

@ImKoolWithThis You know some boxers are the type that win win win then takes it easy and lose to some punk without paying attention and after that they will lose most of their fights. Tyson is one of those

[ImKoolWithThis]

@maffia440 Sorry their is no excuse. Tyson was 7 years into his comeback so he was in great shape. And before he fought Lennox Lewis he was one a winning path so their is no excuse. Lewis is better then Tyson.

[11nytram11]

@maffia440 Intertesting you describe Tyson as a fighter who got lazy after constantly winning and losing to some bum because thast description could be used for Lewis as well. He lost twice in his career, once to McCall and once t Rahman and both times came after Lewis had been on a massive winning streak and getting casual in the ring and lazy out of it.

[AMGRULEZ]

What a clown that guy is lolol. Respect to Lennox

[oneeightsix]

ALI BUMBAYEY

[MrStonecold69]

@Aussie1990Bloke

DEAD RIGHT KID

remember greg rusedski

a canadian who thought he was a brit

fucking T O O L

[Aussie1990Bloke]

About as English as their Cricket team, fucking joke.

[cronolegs]

@Aussie1990Bloke Usman Khawaja? He was born in Pakistan....... isn't he in the 'Australian' cricket team? What about Andrew Symonds, he was born in England.

So shut the fuck you prick, can't wait until we fuck you over AGAIN next ashes. Should be pretty easy after the last efforts from the shit you dished up.

[AliRidah619]

lennox lewis is my 3rd favorite heavyweight of all time and my 10th favorite fighter of all time

[Ovnight]

mike tyson en su mejor momento lo hace mierda en el primer round

tenlo por seguro

[abstractlogic]

Jonathan Ross needs to learn to shut up for a change and LET THE GUESTS TALK! (in this case Lewis) Always interrupting....

[gumper1986]

I always thought Lennox was a pompous asshole, but watching this he seems like a fairly quiet, nice guy. Apparently I was wrong.

[1968Bulldozer]

BEST RESPECT for LENOX "The Big Cat" LEWIS.

[ika889]

great chempion, and not only chempion, He's also a great personality.! respect. for Lewis.!

[adronias]

What's going through your head when you get knocked down? Usually the other guys fist.

[jdoro63]

Lennox Lewis of the United Kingdom was the last undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

[me1we1]

tyson would never beat lewis. not possible. tyson always bottled it against fighters who stood upto him.

[tomabwhite]

@me1we1 Proper boxing fan's comment. Agreed.

[leadster88]

I agree Lewis was a very good boxer, he did hold the 3 major titles granted....

But turn back to the mid 80's and see these 2 fighting, and you would see a total different picture!

Basically what im trying to say is, Tyson would kill Lewis no later then the 3rd round, no way he could handle his speed, power and aggression, those 3 things made Tyson a lethal machine beast.

[TheTabshirEmperor]

I hate it how assholes treat Lennox Lewis. Lewis fought and defeated Mike Tyson to prove that he is the greatest but instead they disrespect Lewis and call him names and say stuff like that he would have got knocked out by Tyson in his prime. Instead people respect Tyson even more after the fight and treat Lewis like he didint acomplish anything. Lenox Lewis defeated Vitali Klitschko and still they say he got lucky. Reason why he dosent get the respect he deserves is because hes British.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

dont even know who im replying to anymore because all these fanboys keep spouting the same bullshit to me! i dont care what you think! dont write your opinions to me! just leave a comment if you wanna compliment Lewis! no need to write it to me as if its gunna change anything!

[KARTMAN769]

Lennox Lewis sound American!!!!!

[hernandezrivas]

TYSON = THE BEST BOXER IN HISTORY... Won the title as 19 years old...

[MrBumboclart]

Prime or not Lennox wudda kicked Tyson's ass.

[TheFredster911]

@MrBumboclart so true

[MrBumboclart]

@TheFredster911 As much as prefer Tyson as an entertainer and a fighter, Lewis is a much superior boxer. Glad you're not like the usual boxing fans who thinks more KO's means better boxer haha.

[energysage]

5:52 "Darn he goes! Surely that's it all over! What a cunt!"

[DeejayDREAM]

Shameful how people continue to not give Lewis the credit he deserves. But those who know, realise that Lewis was comfortably in the top 3 of all time, maybe top 2.

[MultiFrinks]

Lewis master !

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

does Lewis actually think him beating a well past his prime Tyson make him better? lol Tyson in his prime would fucking kill Lewis in the first round!

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@eddiemurphy12 figure of speech you sad cunt! simply meaning it would have been an early night for Lewis! Tyson would have completely owned him

[wombartos]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva

Maybe tyson should have fought lewis earlier then?

Instead of ducking him...No?

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@wombartos definately should have fought him earlier! and i dont know the whole story but if he did actually duck him it would have been for personal reasons! or maybe he just didnt wanna get arrested for the murder of Lenox Lewis!

[hoodtop]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva tyson hide from lennoxs for years

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@hoodtop bollocks! Tyson had personal issues! Lewis was never any kind of a challenger worth fighting!

[hoodtop]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva oh really he was the champ that would make him worth fighting lol. tyson paid lennox four mill not to fight him. you know nothing stick to football.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@hoodtop i know i dont even care that much for boxing and il gladly stick to football! but everyone knows Tyson in his prime would have killed Lewis! its a fact! Tyson is one of the greatest of all time! Lewis is not even close!

[hoodtop]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva wrong its only a fact in your head.... tyson was overrated and could only fight coming forwards. get him on his back foot and look what happens.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@hoodtop bollocks! hes one of the greatest of all time! end of!

[hoodtop]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva you know nothing about boxing as you said and it shows.

[LogicalStatements1]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Prehaps Tyson shouldn't have kept ducking Lewis like a pussy oh then.

[IDante1Savage]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva yes when tyson was in his prime, that magical 2 year period, meanwhile lewis dominated a decade and was sidesteped by tyson in the mid 90's AND Lewis was older than tyson. Foolish.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@IDante1Savage another fanboy that talks bollocks!

[IDante1Savage]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva wow you proved my points wrong.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@IDante1Savage waste of time arguing with someone that talks bollocks like that! you already know what youre saying is bollocks! so stop kidding yourself lol that is all

[IDante1Savage]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva once again you just reacted by saying "no, now cover my ears and eyes" I mention facts and truths, you mention hyperthetic realities. Only top guy Tyson faced in the last decade of his career was Holyfield, look what happened. Meanwhile Lewis faced Holyfield twice, look what happened there. Foolish person.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@IDante1Savage youre embarrassing yourself! everyone knows Tyson is arguably the best of all time! up there with Ali.. whereas Lewis isnt even close lol! n when Tyson faught Lewis! Lewis was still in his prime whereas Tyson was well past it as his prime was like 10 years earlier! stop trying to dig out little details to try to big up Lewis lol

[IDante1Savage]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva How was Lewis still in his prime, interesting you just ignored all previous points I made and tried to take a different angle to defend tyson. Lewis was a top fighter for ten years, Tyson was a top fighter for two. Tyson only faced one world class figther in his "prime" and he was destroyed both times, the same fighter Lewis destroyed two times. No one calls Tyson the best of all time apart from people who are casual fans and have no idea about boxing, like you.

[IDante1Savage]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva and how is that little details lol, see difference is I work on facts and reality, you work on personal subjective bollocks. So if talking about fights and who boxers faced and beat is little details then boy you shouldn't be talking about boxing.

[tellul8r]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva

Agreed. Tyson in the late 80's early 90's would have killed him!

[Xubelo]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva - That's bollocks.

[mouloudo]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Lewis is older than tyson dont serve me that shit

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@mouloudo and? Tysons prime was when he was young and Lewis hit his prime later on!! plus Tyson got fucked up by his personal life! end of!

[mouloudo]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva end of nothing, that's an excuse, bernard hopkins was in prison too and is 46 and still fights and clean his divisions, you tell me that tyson after less than 3 years in prison at 29 was already washed up? all fighters have problems, the thing is a soon as Tyson fought top notch opponents he lost, it's easy to look good against the late 80's early 90's bums, the heavyweight division has never been as weak as this period from 1985 to the early 90's

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@mouloudo and? we're talking about Tyson! nobody else! and Tysons personal life fucked him up personally and professionally! and thats that!

[madeinbreslau]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Was Lennox in his prime fighting Tyson? They both past their primes when they fought each other dude and just to remind you it was Tyson avoiding Lewis. Tyson was great, absolutley, got to give him a respect but saying that old Tyson would give no chance to Lennnox is gibberish.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@madeinbreslau Lewis was in the end of his prime! but prime none the less! Tyson past it much earlier because of his personal life! anyway i dont wanna argue about this with any more people that keep saying the same things! i dont even care!

[madeinbreslau]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Aint that argument m8 just conversation. Tyson had a great KO ratio but all of those guys knocked out early where not even near of Lennox greatness, even Spinks, not even mention Holmes who should never fight Tyson. And as I said Tyson was the one to avoid Lewis he could fight him earlier but Mike prefered Holyfield instead loosing to him anyway and just to remind Lennox beat Holy less that two years later.. Tyson was great no doubt about it, but not as good to destroy LL no way

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@madeinbreslau dont know how many times i have to say about how his personal life affected his professional life! when he faught Holyfield his life was aleady fucked up and he wasnt as good as he was when he was younger! in those younger days he would have destroyed Holy and Lewis! most people know this! you dont believe it obviously, but nevermind ey, weve all got our own opinions, who cares!

[TheFredster911]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva dead u prick

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@TheFredster911 stfu you smarmy dicked

[rafattacksable]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva well lewis is actually older than tyson. It just goes to show that lewis was in his prime longer than tyson ever was and therefore lewis was better

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@rafattacksable omfg since when was that the rule lol not a chance was Lewis in his prime ever even close to Tyson in his prime! like i have to keep saying.. Tysons prime ended earlier than it should have becase his life got messed up! but still, while in his prime... the best!

[rafattacksable]

@rafattacksable well there has to be a rule! so your just saying that tyson would have beaten lewis in 1989 if they were to fight each other then. however that never happened, and then tyson went through emotional difficulties with his wife and his coach dying and went to prison and fucked up his career. so watever the rules or the factors lewis beat tyson and therefore you can't base your arguments on what never happened. lewis would have beaten tyson any day cus he won in 2002.

[braddog1000]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva lewis was older than tyson both out of their prime and lewis won dominated the fight tyson never beat the greats and anyone who actually pushed him around beat him mike tyson was all hype nothing else i liked to watch his fights but he just wasnt an all time great lennox lewis was he beat the greats tyson didnt which proves hes better

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@braddog1000 christ sake im sick of every person writing the same essay to me about this! Tyson in his prime much better than Lewis in his prime! end of! no hiding from that! and Tyson is well and truly considered one of the all time greats! no arguing with that either! its simple! sick of repeating myself! i dont care if you think Lewis is better!

[ayresy89]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva haha yeah. i like to think tyson in the early days would have had lewis. when they faught tyson was not the same iron mike, he didn't love the game at all like he did.

[sciencedictionary]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Lewis would beat tyson, he had trouble with a good jab and size.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@sciencedictionary nah! everyone knows Tyson would have killed him! even Ali said Tyson (in his prime) would have beaten him (Ali)

[sciencedictionary]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva serious question - Are you joking?

Ali would have won, Tyson tired after 8 and he admitted himself, Ali would win about 116-112. Tyson should have beaten Douglas even if he wasn't 100%.

Ali was being humble, Tyson said Ali would beat him.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@sciencedictionary im just telling you what Ali said! and yes he was being humble! but its just a huge statement coming from someone as cocky as Ali!

[brasher01]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva this was ali not necessarily the cocky invincible one but when he knew his body was becoming a prison for his mind when he said that just like when he admitted that smokin joe frazier made him the greatest

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva first round is a little much

[jummacob]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva your and idiot! tyson is overrated. you're buying into the hype. if tyson couldn't beat holyfield in his prime and resorted to biting his ear off because he was getting his ass kicked that badly, how the fuck would he beat lennox lewis. you don't know much about boxing do you. tyson gets his ass beat when stepping up the competition. he got beaten by buster douglas for crying out loud.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@jummacob he wasnt in his prime against Holyfield, his life got fucked up! Holyfield fight was when he cameback and wasnt the same! its a known fact that Tyson is one of the top all time greats! Lewis is NOT! sick of gay Lewis fans trying to talk bollocks with their gay excuses and bitterness! get over it! nobody cares about Lewis!

[OfficialMattprc]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva And thats why a 'prime' Tyson avoided Lewis for years, and Tyson only took the fight when he deperately needed the money.

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

@OfficialMattprc avoided Lewis because it would have been too easy for him! Lewis was no match in those days!

[OfficialMattprc]

@RazzaBeeDaSilva Well if Buster Douglas could beat Tyson in 'those days' I'm sure Lewis could have.

[mrvideouploads1]

lewis vs klitscho rematch!!! plz

[scoppy80]

Lennox Lewis is a great guy. One of the greatest fighters Britain ever had.

[simion11]

@scoppy80 the greatest fighters Britain ever got from Canada....

[scoppy80]

@simion11 , I know he has Canadian and British citizenship, but remember he was born in Britain, moved to Canada at the age of 14, won the 1988 olympic gold medal for Canada and his successful professional carrer with all the titles he won was under the banner of Great Britain. I think the man deserve some credit for what he accomplished for both countries.

[nyali2]

agreed...

[dapperdonmilli]

Lewis need to stfu cause  beat a washed up tyson ..

[dapperdonmilli]

Much respect to lewis. This man did not let himself go ..
