Lennox Lewis

Lennox Lewis sits, for me, among the most underappreciated heavyweights of his era. A three-time and undisputed champion who fought from 1989 to 2003, he beat essentially everyone in front of him and walked away on his own terms, a rarity in a brutal sport. What I respect is the intelligence behind the power: at 196 cm he could have relied on brawn, but he boxed with patience and a plan. Honored on both sides of the Atlantic with a CBE and a place in Canada's halls of fame, Lewis embodied the dual heritage he carried. A cerebral giant who left while still on top, exactly as a champion should.
