For me he's the most underrated boxer ever, the ammount of disrespect he got by the media is insane.. Great work!

I met him at Muhammad Ali's funeral, he was still in great shape. Its smart when boxers know when to retire and let go.

So glad you made this. A lot of people forgot about how great he was. He was sort of a quiet character so he didn’t get a lot of attention.

The last undisputed heavyweight champion of the 21st century. Lennox Lewis is the cream of the crop when it comes to heavyweight boxing in the modern era. He lost twice but avenged both those losses & fought every top contender from Holyfield to Rahman to Tyson to Vitali. Absolute legend👊👊

Lennox lewis In my opinion is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time,he is usually undermined but this short film has truly captured his greatness

"Everyone said that I should have fought Vitali again but he was just icing on my retirement cake. I took him on at short notice and despite being mentally ready, my physical preparation wasn’t ideal. I beat him at my worst so there was no need for a rematch. He definitely experienced the uppercuts." -- Lennox Lewis

Every great boxer has their special punch.. Lennox's uppercut was absolutely unmatched.

My favourite boxer of all time. Put him in against ANY boxer in the history of the sport and he’d hold his own at the very least

THE greatest British heavyweight of all time. He beat Tyson, Holyfield, Klitschko and even King, and retired on top. You have to respect the man.

Body of a bruiser, mind of metal, power for days, skills of a boxer puncher. Lennox Lewis. The last Undisputed Heavy Weight champion of the world. A Jamaican born in England, who won boxing gold for Canada and brought the undisputed title to England. What a man, what a story, what a legend. Thanks Joe Vincent. Another great documentary. 🙏🏾 Bless.

The precision is what gets me. He's absolutely unloading on the these right hands, stepping in, following through, but they are picked and chosen, landed clean. It's hard to get a read on how strong he really was, because he strikes *so well* that whatever muscle he has is being perfectly magnified by his mechanics. Tremendous fighter, perpetually underrated. Also, I'd never noticed him starting all these fights walking forward with his hands down - scary shit. Perfect disdain.

Lewis is one of my favorite fighters! An absolutely perfect blend of power, skill and speed. He took a lot of shit from the general audience at the time who didn't appreciate him but the more they hated him the more I liked him! Only with the fall of the heavyweight division in the 2000s did people realize how great he was. He and Ali are probably the 2 best most complete heavyweights ever!

His strength, accuracy, and smarts are so well portrayed here. Another masterpiece!

I already know its gonna be great

Was never a LL fan but I have come to appreciate him and his achievements with time. What I applaud is that Lewis had no scandals attached to him like previous champions.

Lennox Lewis will always remain my all time favourite heavyweight for his skills and humility, him and the later day George Foreman are icons in the sweet science.

You just made my day joe Vincent “Booom perfect timing”

Lennox Lewis. PRO record: 41-2-1, KO's 32 / world title record: 15-2-1, KO's 10. Amateur record: 85-12. # 1988 Olympic Super heavyweight Gold Medalist. # 3-time Heavyweight Champion of the World: 1992-1994, 1997-2001 & 2001-2004. # Defeated 14 recognized world champions: Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Vitali Klitschko, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall, Tony Tucker, Frank Bruno, Ray Mercer, Tommy Morrison, Shannon Briggs, Mike Weaver, Henry Akinwande, Ossie Ocasio & Glenn McCrory + numerous recognized top contenders like; David Tua, Donovan Ruddock, Francois Botha, Andrew Golota, Željko Mavrović, Michael Grant, Phil Jackson, Tyrell Biggs, Gary Mason, Lionel Butler, etc. RECORDS: # Universally recognized as not only the greatest British born heavyweight world champion but likewise - Europe's greatest born world heavyweight champion of all times! # Defeated every man he ever faced in boxing with rematches - Avenged both his career losses with a Knockout-Out result where he "proved" his loss was more a fluke then his better man. # First man ever to win an Olympic super heavyweight gold medal representing Canada. # First European & British born Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist. # First world heavyweight champion ever who have competed in 2 Olympic games as amateur: 1984 Los Angeles, USA & 1988 Soul, Korea. # 4th man in boxing history to win the world heavyweight title 3-times (Mohammad Ali, Michael Moorer & Evander Holyfield was before him). # First European & British born heavyweight to regain a lost world heavyweight title + First and only to do so twice.

A shame he is not mentioned as the best. He was a true Champion. He never ran from the big fights and he beat them. Give this man his much deserved respect in the ring. He earned it and proved it.

The documentary I never knew I needed to watch.. Respect Lennox the living legend

Never really was a fan of him but always respected the talent and workethic he brought to the boxing game. He's a legend

He is always #1 for me! He dominated 90's boxing! Sometimes I feel like he is so underrated! If he is American, He will be on the conversion of GOAT!

Massively underrated legend of the heavyweights. His power was scary to be honest and completely overpowered Holyfield in my opinion. Congratulations on a terrific career. One of the greatest in my opinion.

Lewis is a true LEgend. He was always well behaved, cool, calm and collected. A great role model and ambassador to the sport.

He boxed out of the same boxing club I did in Kitchener, Ontario before I began fighting. I've met him a couple of times, one of the nicest guys I've ever met

Lennox Lewis, the last of the Silver Age Heavyweight to be Undisputed and recognized by everyone around the World. He was a great boxer especially in his late blooming prime by far his greatest years. Repect to the Lion.

Lennox was really a Lion and is one of the greatest boxers.He dominated his era with his jabs,upper_cuts & knock_outs..nice career Docu..!

I’ve said it before and I will say it again and again. No one produces sport documentaries like Joe Vincent. Top tier content guaranteed. Every video I see of a fighter I gain an immense respect for that fighter. I’d sub multiple times if I could. This account deserves millions of subs

Mr. Vincent, I am glad to see that you haven't waited long to bring us another great documentary. You are really good at what you do. Plus, I love your narration.

Lennox Lewis in my opinion dose not get the acclaimed credit he is rightfully owed. His name sometimes goes under the radar when we talk of greats! Look at what this man done in his era! What a Champion. He sent through The division with no fear. The late great Emmanuel Steward brought out the absolute best in Lennox Lewis. The trainimg he recieved in the Kronk gym goes without saying! The last Undisputed🌍 World Heavyweight Champion🏆. We talk about Larry Holmes jab but the Lion had probably one of the best jabs in the division till this day. True boxing fans show your respect and homage to 👑 Lennox Lewis 🏆🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊. Once again you have given us a great boxing documentary 👏🏿.

When I think of Lennox Lewis, I remember one specific picture from the Shannon Briggs fight; where Lewis was hitting Briggs with an overhand right. It looked like his right arm was 10 feet long; and separating Briggs' head from his body. Just devastating.

They hated on Lennox and he still came out on top. Respect ✊🏾

Absolute masterpiece! I’m getting into boxing and heard the name of Lewis, but never knew how much of a legend he was! 🇬🇧

How can anyone not like Lewis? Revenge his losses and was a gentleman's champion 🏆 all around G.O.A.T

Possibly the best combination of skill, well-roundedness, athletic ability/talent, length, power, and defense of any heavyweight in history. Im not necessarily saying he is the greatest, but i am saying he is probably the best all-around heavyweight of all time. He wasn't just good at everything, he was phenomenal at damned near everything. If i had to pick a heavyweight who is/was the closest ting to a perfect fighter, he'd be my pick. He doesn't get nearly the praise and adoration that he so rightly deserves, but regardless - based on his record, who he beat, and how'd he look in those fights as wel as in the 2 that he lost, he's easily one of the top 5 greatest in history as well as being the perfect archetypal heavyweight.

To this day Lennox Lewis and Sonny Liston are vitually alone in their fighting style. Two fighters with all time power who put boxing skill first and foremost and only took the knockout if it came. It takes tremendous discipline for any power puncher in any division to use that power only as a plan B.

Never understand how JV can be consistent with the greatness he give us. We all love these movies!!!!!

Emanuel Steward hands-down one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time boxing trainer. Lennox Lewis his legacy speaks for it self. he won Canada the gold and was an amazing heavyweight boxer. Definitely in the top 10 if not top-five of all times

He can adapt to any fighter, and I don't think any of his opponents had a higher ring IQ than Mr. Lewis. His chess game, like Mayweather, was second to none. Notice how he heaat Klitschko, he kept aiming for that cut, with both his hands! He knew vitali very well and played a smart boxer.

This is GREAT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Lennox is definitely one of my favorite fighters! This is the best documentary by far that I’ve found!

Even with the crowds constantly booing him, Lennox probably has the most ice cold stare I have ever seen in a boxer. One of the greatest to ever do it. His biggest crime was not being an American.

I'm so glad we're getting one for Lennox, an amazing boxer, and one of the best heavyweights in the history of boxing. Also great video.

The sound of the 3-4 KO in the 2nd Rahman fight was unreal. Lewis had some of the most crisp punches in Heavyweight history.

The way he always introduces Stallone! Always I mean it always has me on the FLOOR

I love Lennox. One of the all time greats. Still underrated

The last Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world. Avenged all his losses, beat all the past, previous & future champions… retired on top. Lewis was had a masterful Jab, Cross thanks to the careful training from Emanuel Steward (RIP to the Legend).

Best series of documentaries out there. Excellent editing, voice over work, in-depth facts, and clever.

Lewis beat everyone in his area and quit whilst he was on top. He always managed to have the edge over his opposition. Killer nasty jab and power, along with speed and boxing chops. I believe he is Goat.

LENNOX LEWIS & maybe forman are the only heavyweights I feel could beat any great heavyweight from any era period. He was a monster he had power, skill, athleticism...not saying anyone isn't great but his size is mainly what I'm talking about liston, ali, marciano, holms ect. Aren't hanging with lennox or a lot of the gigantic athletes of today back then big men over 6'5 was slow & mainly unskilled but now they moving faster & are more athletic.

My all time favourite boxer! He beat everyone he faced in one of the greatest boxing eras, with people like Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, and late in his career he still managed to beat Vitali that at that time was a beast. He was cold as ice, and he always seem to be in control.

You are keeping legends alive and introducing looked over ones to the youth. We thank you. No body brings it home like you🥊🥊

It might be worthwhile to do a similar look at Ray Mercer; he had a highly interesting career and fought a lot of people: Holmes, Morrison, Holyfield, as well as Lennox Lewis. Maybe you could even talk to him, I'd bet he's a great interview.

Dude you do a kick ass job of giving these videos the feeling that they’re the “go-to” documentaries of their respective eras that the whole world should kinda know about. It’s awesome. I don’t know you do it

Bored Films is by far the best fighting sports documentary maker in the world. But really, I enjoyed all of your vids, keep it up!

He is in my top 10, possibly top five greatest fighters of all time. When I bring up his name, people are always like "who?" I'm so glad you made a video on him.

LL was always the roar in the ring, but he has led his life with such humility and an eagerness to learn more at each stage in his career. He kept his head held high and never let his mind waver from the task at hand. I wrote him many years ago when I was trying to get into boxing and received a response with nothing but positivity and enthusiasm to help guide another. I will cherish that moment and what this man stands for in my eyes. He is one of the greatest and kindest, and I truly look up to him to this day.

Best heavyweight of his era 💪

THE MYTH, THE LEGEND, JOSEPH VINCENT IS BACK WITH A BANGER!!!

I have no words on how to put this but DAMN! I love your videos. The editing for each video is AMAZING and ENTERTAINING to watch. You have a very talented team there. Thank you and your team for this video.

Great film Joseph, Thank you!!

For me he is in the top 5 heavyweights of all time. By the way just wondered recently: "When will Joe Vincent make a video on Lennox?"... and then my man read my mind and brought it home (like nobody else) once again

An incredible retrospective, about a British sporting icon, and one of the greatest heavyweights who ever lived. Thank you!

That's a 6 punch combo against Botha. Truly spectacular

You are preserving sports history. Excellently edited and put together, man.

I loved watching Lewis growing up. He was my favorite boxer of his time. Mike was past his prime, Ruddock as well, and Holyfield didn't fight him when he might have stood a chance. Simply put, the dude was a monster. A boogeyman of the heavies. Ray Robinson will probably always be my top favorite fighter of all time, but Lewis more than deserves his place in everyone's list of top 5 best ever... particularly among the heavyweights.

Fun Fact: Nobody brings it Home like Joseph Vincent. Remember when you had like 200K subscribers and we were all talking about you being up past a million and here you are! Keep it up J!

Rocky will always be my favorite fighter but I'm a realist that understands his limitations. The several ATG fighters that Rocky did face were either too old or washed-up has-beens. They were light heavyweights that simply moved up for the money because the division was completely void of any quality authentic 200+ lb Heavyweights.

What an great document! Thank you for it.

Lennox was the best of his era and my favorite heavyweight of my lifetime. He beat all of his contemporaries convincingly.

I was 4 rows back from ringside with my dad watching Bruno VS. Lewis, at Cardiff. When Lewis wobbled Bruno with the huge left hook and sent him against the ropes, I remember so clearly seeing Bruno's head fly upwards from the right uppercut from hell. I knew Bruno was done right then. Everyone around was cheering for Bruno up to this point. It was definitely a pro-Bruno crowd there. And everyone around me went silent for a few seconds when the fight was ended. It was so shocking because Bruno had done really amazing up until that point! He definitely surprised Lennox. But greats have what it takes to pull something out of the bag and finish the show. Lennox is an all-time great.

The Best heavyweight ever! Think about it.. Gold medal in the Olympics he beat everyone who was worth beating he avenged his losses! He took all the belts. Past or present Lennox proved he was the best EVER.

Love watching these videos. Besides just the entertainment aspect, I thoroughly learn a lot while watching them. I appreciate your hard work. I don't know what your working on but I would love to see a Kimbo Slice documentary at some point.

Let's be real here if Lennox wasn't careless against McCall and Rahman, he coud've been undefeated and possibly the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time

Brilliant! The Razor Ruddock stoppage was just Wow!!! Lewis was a Beast! 👊👊💯

This video is awesome. Shivers down the spine and memories of Lewis

This is the most beautiful documentary. Lennox Lewis was always my favorite fighter when everyone was talking about Mike Tyson. I remembered before they fought a Mike Tyson fan wanting to fight be because I predicted Lewis was going to beat Tyson. The documentary left out one important part. Lewis was filming Ocean 11 before he fought Hasem Rahman. To me that was the reason he loss that fight.

You win RU-vid. Thanks for your work. I was waiting for a Lennox Video and you delivered! Amazing as always.

Phenomenal representation of one of the all time greats. Joseph you did this man justice. Top notch as we have all come to expect from you. NOBODY does it better.

Perfect video for Xmas Eve, thank you!!!

Great work man with these vids 👍

Brilliant tribute to a very much loved British champion, in my eyes he was the best complete all round champion. But now we have tyson fury too... big love from the UK 🇬🇧

Watching your videos about these legends helps me keep going as a boxer! All love from the Diamond State, Joe!

I just found this page 2 days ago. Good god this is great content, you and the modern martial artist have the best combat content I've seen bar none.

I want to say thank you to the channel amazing content I love the way you put it all together thank you very much

So far I watched 92 percent of all your documentaries getting prepped for esbc boxing game learning all these ppl my fav boxers are tommy Morrison and canelo

It's amazing to me that your channel is still not 10M+ subs. Every video is a classic and instantly better than any other video out. Your series on MJ was better than the last dance and it was free and out years before. I was too young to really appreciate Lennox but after this video I truly believe he is top 3 all time imo. Thanks Joe!

Always good videos, another great one for sure!

Been looking forward to this one. Cheers.

Easily one of the best heavyweights of all time.The guy beat Tyson,Holyfield,Klitchko and avenged both of his losses and still doesn't get enough credit!

I love how he's has The Pride and Honour of a lion By not hitting his enemies when they fall

Fantastic video, Sir. Lennox has always said on record that Ray Mercer was his toughest opponent.

Outstanding video!!!

Lewis is one of the most underrated fighter of all time i hope this joe Vincent video will give him more recognition

Blessed to have seen him fight. All time great!

Well done Dr. Vincent. I'm calling you Doc because if anybody has a PhD in absolutely brilliant highlight videos (especially the boxing ones) it's you my man. Merry Christmas.

One of my favorite fighters of all time. Lewis had so much power behind his hands, yet folks often didn't see it because he didn't just wade in and brawl like he probably could, but fought using his intellect and his perception to enhance that strength. I will carry to my grave the image of that man shutting Hasim Rahman off with one of the most perfect two-pieces ever thrown. That, and the look Andrew Golota had on his face after hitting the canvas from the swarm that dropped him, the sheer glaze of dazed confusion over what just happened to him.

Great Vid covering one of, if not THE greatest boxers of all time! good job man.

Mans a legend, a top 5 for sure

Mah Mann, Idk why you started making these vids, but I'm glad you did & I watch them all. Long live Bored Films
