Lennox Lewis - Champ, defending. One of best 'jabbers' in history. Tommy Morrison - Great White Hope, and a technician in the ring.

Morrison was similar to Tyson in many ways. But the biggest difference, IMO, was footwork. Tyson was always grounded and sat on his punches. Morrison had a tendency to sell out his punches more, often 'jumping' to throw. Not only did this leave him vulnerable, but it also made the next punch less effective, and it also became a fatigue factor.

1 - First of all, R.I.P. Tommy, it was a real pain to lose a great fighter. 2 - There was the Lennox Lewis that began to grow and grow with Manny Steward: both fitted like a glove to make Lennox a GOAT: that stiff jab pumping like a piston as the path to victory that painted so many faces, the left hook and that brutal uppercut and dominance of the ring you would not expect from Pepe Correa's Lennox... he acheived to dominate the ring, could switch from a cautious Lennox to a very agressive Lennox while facing always difficult opponents instead of "cherry picking" ordinary fighters: many young people comes now to watch this golden era of boxing in which every single fight was hard. 3 - A tribute to Mills Lane: one of the best referees ever that had a deep understanding of boxing. Stopping this fight was a clear "ok, good enough, nothing is at stake in there and none of the contenders deserves any unnecessary punishment".

One of the best uses of the heavy weight jab I have ever seen. Morrison was taken out early on by that powerful jab. Morrison totally got the approach wrong for this fight, he would have had a much better chance, if he had of risked getting inside moving his head (Tyson style) to fight a war with Lewis. Even then, Lewis right would have been very capable of stopping Morrison, but there was no way Morrison was ever going to win that fight bystanding on the outside and getting plummeted by that Jab. Great champion lewis, for me he never quite got the respect and world acclaim that he deserved. Loved watching Tommy fight, lots of heart, killer left hook RIP.

If he did fight while ill though Somebody's on his side is having blood tests for him and urine tests to cover it up, even thats very hard comprehend unless drug testing and disease testing wasn't as strict as it is today, they did test for such disease though like HIV and hepatitis c and b etc etc in those days, they did it in every sport except pro wrestling. I have heard that rumour though and read about it ,but i have never seen any official people such as the Commission certifying it as truth, if they did they would be liable in court for knowing he had HIV and letting him fight 58 opponents, it would also discredit them hugely as a boxing Commission they would most probably be prosecuted and shut down, and sued by 58 fighters I don't personally believe it my self even though i have actually watched people make video's about it and read articles about it

Tommy didn’t have a weak chin, his losses against Mercer and Bentt, he just got tagged good and proper. It happens. That’s heavyweight boxing. Morrison was awesome a tough SOB, with some good wins under his belt, a throwback fighter. Morrison could say have an arena fight with Lennox or Carl Williams then 3 months later fight at some hick bar room C/B level fight. He just fought, he had like over 200 plus amateur fights to with only like 20 losses. Retired at the age of 27, so think he still had a good 10 years in him. So we lost ten years of Tommy Morrison fights. He was good think he had something like 45 wins 2 losses. At 27. No one fights like that anymore.

I'm sure people on here will say Morrison was no match for Tyson, but when you really look at it, they were both impressive with knocking out lesser opponents quickly on their journey up the rankings, & then both got complacent with training & conditioning, until both coming up short against real skillful boxers who could keep them at arms length. Would have loved to see them come together when they were both hungry fighters.

It looked like he was very confident and wasn't going to let a white guy beat him. Also I had the great privlage of Meeting Emanuel Stewart he is a much better corner man basically one of the very best ever, ever.

It's 2024 and I m still watching LL fights
Always thought Tommy was somewhat underrated. RIP fella. Lewis? The GOAT. imho Utmost respect to both guys.
I always thought Tommy could have gone further. He had a great combo and was a great underrated heavyweight. His defence could be vulnerable at times.
AIDS AND BEING A SUBSTANCE ABUSER DIDN'T HELP HIS FIGHTING CAREER .
He only lost three fights and had 42 knockouts. So he went pretty far.
No way that eye was going to get him killed
Morrison was similar to Tyson in many ways. But the biggest difference, IMO, was footwork. Tyson was always grounded and sat on his punches. Morrison had a tendency to sell out his punches more, often 'jumping' to throw. Not only did this leave him vulnerable, but it also made the next punch less effective, and it also became a fatigue factor.
He did pretty damn good for himself. Only lost three fights, had a high knockout rate in a crazy stacked 90s era heavyweight division.
Mills Lane has got to be the best Ref of all time! Calls it fair down the line. Much respect to him.
samoan SAIYAN You got that right!
Should have deducted a point from Lewis for hanging on Morrison’s neck, the whole fight. Lewis hand speed and accuracy was incredible
Hands down best ref

Sadly he can no longer talk due to a stroke.
Holy moly Lennox looked amazing in this fight! Great stoppage. Tommy didn't need anymore punishment. Respect!
Lots of steroids.
@Tony O'Brien good point.
1 - First of all, R.I.P. Tommy, it was a real pain to lose a great fighter. 2 - There was the Lennox Lewis that began to grow and grow with Manny Steward: both fitted like a glove to make Lennox a GOAT: that stiff jab pumping like a piston as the path to victory that painted so many faces, the left hook and that brutal uppercut and dominance of the ring you would not expect from Pepe Correa's Lennox... he acheived to dominate the ring, could switch from a cautious Lennox to a very agressive Lennox while facing always difficult opponents instead of "cherry picking" ordinary fighters: many young people comes now to watch this golden era of boxing in which every single fight was hard. 3 - A tribute to Mills Lane: one of the best referees ever that had a deep understanding of boxing. Stopping this fight was a clear "ok, good enough, nothing is at stake in there and none of the contenders deserves any unnecessary punishment".
There is no such thing as A GOAT. There is only THE GOAT

@@juansantiago4913 Who wasn't a great fighter?
One of the best uses of the heavy weight jab I have ever seen. Morrison was taken out early on by that powerful jab. Morrison totally got the approach wrong for this fight, he would have had a much better chance, if he had of risked getting inside moving his head (Tyson style) to fight a war with Lewis. Even then, Lewis right would have been very capable of stopping Morrison, but there was no way Morrison was ever going to win that fight bystanding on the outside and getting plummeted by that Jab. Great champion lewis, for me he never quite got the respect and world acclaim that he deserved. Loved watching Tommy fight, lots of heart, killer left hook RIP.
Agreed- he fought to lose.
Good points and I agree on all of them. Lewis’ only real shortcoming was he had a little bit of a weak chin. He was hard to hit, but if you could get a clean power shot on him, he didn’t always take it that well. Otherwise, he had no flaws.
Yes,cannot loiter,must pay once to defeat jab...Dubois loitered with joyce,no head movement,shows how much a pro Dukes method was..
Lewis was pure class. And one of the few men to beat every fighter who ever got in a ring with him.
Tommy had a lot of courage to get in the ring with a man of Lennox's skill and power. Blessings to his family.
@Rowseatingstank trashassBoxingTV He wasn´t sick here you moron.

@@imadeyoureadthis1500 I know he was sick with HIV but i very much doubt he was sick here,i don't think he ever fought while he was ill, even though he said he did, i cant see how that's possible, no boxing Commission would allow any fighter with HIV to fight, it would be a disaster waiting to happen fighters get cut, if both fighters are cut and one has HIV then that very dangerous, no Commission in their right mind would allow that to happen. If he did fight while ill though Somebody's on his side is having blood tests for him and urine tests to cover it up, even thats very hard comprehend unless drug testing and disease testing wasn't as strict as it is today, they did test for such disease though like HIV and hepatitis c and b etc etc in those days, they did it in every sport except pro wrestling. I have heard that rumour though and read about it ,but i have never seen any official people such as the Commission certifying it as truth, if they did they would be liable in court for knowing he had HIV and letting him fight 58 opponents, it would also discredit them hugely as a boxing Commission they would most probably be prosecuted and shut down, and sued by 58 fighters I don't personally believe it my self even though i have actually watched people make video's about it and read articles about it

Lennox Lewis is an all time great HW champion. Would have been a tough fight for any HW champ of any era. Great movement, height, length, footwork, and hand speed; a superior boxer with a puncher's power, he doesn't get the recognition, here in the states at least, that I think he should.
Well said Sir, And when we look back at his career. IMO he was the best of that ERA.
Well, my 'dark favorite' of that era was Ray Mercer, but then he got caught taking a dive so he lost credibility, and he was never as consistently dominant like Lewis.
@@durtyragoux totally agree, for me Lewis is top 3 ever, along with Ali and Holmes. regarding Mercer, i dont really ever see anyone mention him so props fella, Mercer was such a formidable fighter, you only have to see his record and the fighters he went the distance with, probably the greatest chin of any heavy. But the diving issue is a blot on his record, not the first fighter to do and certainly not the last but big minus against him as a fighter.
Good steroids too.
guyco10 getting KOd by 2 nobodies might have something to do with that.
90s heavyweights look far better than today's. Today's are just bigger

When Lennox Lewis shows up he is one of the all time greats. Tonight he showed up.
He was very good before Steward became his trainer, but he could occasionally be tagged (eg. Mccall, Rahman), but Steward took him to another level, where he jabbed more effectively, planted his feet better. He was actually improving in his 30s and probably could have stayed very competive for a few more years.
Lewis had one of the best and most underrated jabs in the game. Quick with a lot of snap and power behind it. It nullified Morrison in this fight.
Now jabs are considered underrated. That's everything that ever happened is underrated.
He didn't say "I've got my left hook", he said, "I've still got my left one", refering to his eyes.
Exactly, what a weird assumption by the commentator!
That is correct! That moron who constantly ripped on Tommy, saying he has the look of defeat, etc, was pissing me off. Let that moron fight Lewis with one eye. Tommy is a warrior, but Lewis physically had the advantage.
Yeah that was a moronic assumption.
"I've still got my left one" meant his left bollock. He had lost the other in a tragic (but also bizarre) chainsaw accident during training for this very contest.
Tommy didn’t have a weak chin, his losses against Mercer and Bentt, he just got tagged good and proper. It happens. That’s heavyweight boxing. Morrison was awesome a tough SOB, with some good wins under his belt, a throwback fighter. Morrison could say have an arena fight with Lennox or Carl Williams then 3 months later fight at some hick bar room C/B level fight. He just fought, he had like over 200 plus amateur fights to with only like 20 losses. Retired at the age of 27, so think he still had a good 10 years in him. So we lost ten years of Tommy Morrison fights. He was good think he had something like 45 wins 2 losses. At 27. No one fights like that anymore.
Lewis is one of the best boxers of all time
Abd Omrt-Absolutely agree bro-in my opinion Lennox Lewis is the second greatest heavyweight champion of all time,only the peak Muhammad Ali would have had a chance of beating him.
It must have been demoralizing to fight Lewis , as he was so strong and huge . On top of that he was a very good fighter.
What could have been... God bless you Tommy!
Lewis was a great, tall jab fighter that also had power. A really tough opponent for the tough, shorter power punchers like Tyson and Morrison. A consumate pro. The heavyweight division was so strong in the 1990s, and competitive with Tyson's (slight) slippage in those days.
You blind? Morrison wasn't really smaller, they almost matched in height.
@@Eysenbeiss You're the blind one, I met both fighters and I'm 6'2 1/2",Lewis is 6'5" and Tommy maybe 6'1" at best, but they weighed about the same! Tommy being shorter gave him a thicker appearance!
Tommy did better against an younger Lewis, than Tyson did years later, that's pretty impressive.
In my opinion this fight was the beginning of Lennox Lewis's prime, the night he took his game to another level and definitely turned a corner. He was good before this fight, but during and after it he truly became one of the greatest. From this fight till the night Rahman knocked him out he was unstoppable for seven years.

Hasani Jitu But, had a better record than Tyson, so.....
Tommy had a very good career although it could have been better if his defence was more tight. Also his pace needed to be more controlled, he gassed out early. He had the power, speed, and offensive skills for sure. He also had heart. One of my favourite boxers.
Oh please what career
52 fights,48 wins and a world title. If you think that's easy do it yourself.
I really think Morrison was very similar to Tyson, in his exciting powerful style, but also his knock out rate coming up the ranks. I'm sure people on here will say Morrison was no match for Tyson, but when you really look at it, they were both impressive with knocking out lesser opponents quickly on their journey up the rankings, & then both got complacent with training & conditioning, until both coming up short against real skillful boxers who could keep them at arms length. Would have loved to see them come together when they were both hungry fighters.

Mills Lane the best ref ever!!
Great reffing
"Walk him down..." Lennox needs to give that coach the boot.
All usa possible hw champs are in the nba or nfl. Just the way it is this day n age
GRANDE BOX DA CAMPIONI DEL MONDO! 👏👏👏GRANDI !
Mills has a very good understanding for boxing. Cheers
Beautiful
Льюис молодец, великий боец.... который записал на свой счёт победу над Тайсоном и Холифилдом
Morrison was a very good fighter, he would have been a great fighter if he had trained properly all the time. But he was more interested in having a good time and paid dearly for it.
Definitely was a good fighter. I was unaware of him beating razor. So I went back and looked. He was the better fighter
Ray mercer put together a plan that I swore wasn't going to work, but it did let him tire himself out
I don’t think he would ever have been great he was decent at best
Too much fun in nightlife style! 😯
@@anthonyjames7965I was expecting a good fight. But Ray Mercer, let Tommy punch himself out, and just floored Tommy!! I believe it was, from his FU life style. Rip Tommy.
Best Ref ever. Judge Mills Lane made it very clear who was officiating the fight, and more importantly the boxers listened to him
Excellent as always Mills Lane superb , this is the best I've seen Lenox Lewis fight, his body,his legs his jab he's so big it's amazing. Then that uppercut used Tommy's punch against him. It looked like he was very confident and wasn't going to let a white guy beat him. Also I had the great privlage of Meeting Emanuel Stewart he is a much better corner man basically one of the very best ever, ever. Tommy needed to catch him with a left but never was allowed to get off.
Tommy put up a good fight considering he could only see out of one eye! Respect where it's due.
Hmm looked like a a boy fighting a man. Looked like a cat playing with a mouse.
I p in my
Taking a beating is not putting up a good fight
J'aurais aimé voir un combat entre mauhamde Ali contre Lewis
This was Tommy's way to get one last big pay day,wasn't ever in the fight
Yep it was basically a sparring session for Lewis.
@@undeadpresident LMAOOO
Tanks Tommy , we missin you
Lewis&Morrison same a Great Boxer in the world
RIP Tommy!
Odd that Morrison or his corner didn't change tactics when their original plan was failing. What did Morrison have to lose by closing and staying closed to Lennox and fighting inside?
Should of tried to rough him up. He can’t box so make it dirty on the inside and on the rope. OKKK
lewis dropped him twice with punches on the inside
Lennox ushered in the era of big heavyweights, Tommy was big too but Lewis was at least 6' 5" Emanuel knows that styles make fights and he had Lennox fighting the perfect fight for Tommy. Tommy too worried about his left eye and didn't have enough dog in him to let it all hang out.
I love them both. Tom got thimbed in the eye and fought with one eye during the end.
I totally forgot Morrison fought Lewis
Think of the Lewis-Klitschko fight: if you could have replaced the 2003 Lewis with 1995 Lewis, it seems obvious that he would have gotten the win. His hand speed and footwork here are so much better, really no comparison.
Good steroids too!!
Los dos boxeadores excelentes.
Morrison was a pretty good heavyweight. Lewis is the best heavyweight of the last 35-40 years.
I'm British BTW, I would rather watch morrison than Lewis any day I always found lennox over rated and boring, morrison was given a very poor review by the commentators he was fighting all the way to the end despite his eye
You can find Morisson more attractive to watch but Lewis is a little too much. No one is more underrated than Lewis, I mean pseudo-expert Joe Rogan recently asked the strange question if Tyson Fury was the HW GOAT. By his logic Lewis doesn't even exist. This box fans generation seems to be confused.
Tommy the most overatted Roids BUM fighter ever 💯
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 I don't even regard fury as a boxer, he's champion in a pool of nobody's, put him back in 1990 to 1996 he would t even make the under card of that generations fighters
Great fight Tommy should have remembered the words of rocky slip the jab
10:53 - that's why boxing coaches ALWAYS tell their fighters to either exit low, at an angle, while keeping your hands up; or to exit with a punch of your own. Jab while exiting.
If Morrison who have not chose the wild party life - he would have been unstoppable! Best left hook in heavyweight history - IMO. At this point in his early career his body is already worn out beyond its former glory, and he is only mid-twenties here.
Agree...he didn't take care of himself but was really killing him here was not the lifestyle but HIV...he was already sick in 1995 and looked the part...a shell of himself ...a healthy Morrison would have given a better showing ...then this sick version of himself ....
@Cortez Armstrong what's with the language Cortez...this is my opinion bitch ....
In my point of view Tommy had to get a Mexican fighter adviser he was a great prospect for a great champion!! But he never looked for the wisdom of the boxing
cachano7 true he had that crappy team of white guys lol always saying hit em with 2s and 7s lmao
When he found out he was hiv positive he was never the same. He could of been that while hope
He was hiv positive since the late 80's man, so he basically fought all of his career sick, but his major problem here was Lennox Lewis.
And let's not forget Lennox Lewis said that was hard as he's ever been hit and where did we hear that again merciless Ray Mercer
Grande Lenox, excelente lutador!
This version of Lewis could beat both wlad and vitally on the same night
Dude seriously. I like vitali(more than wladimir actually) and i get annoyed when I see people trying to use his loss against an out of shape lewis as a reason for him being better than Lewis lolol it makes no fucking sense
Z Boy because of a cheap cut to Vitali’s eye lid cause Lennox was Holding Vitali too much.
Z Boy Vitali’ would of lost an eye lid but Lewis was going to Lose his head. Headless Lewis. Just like ducked Vitali & retired 😂 what a coward.
@@IblewuponyourfaceIII haha Lewis was old and out of shape and still beat a young klitchco .... if that doesn't show how good he was nothing will .
Lennox ✌🏾💯
I would never let Lennox Lewis hit me like that I’m an Aquarius that’s why they don’t have any Aquarius boxers because we’re unpredictable
Tommy Morrison had the biggest heart he would not give up true champion love that bloke
Tommy era resistente como rocky .
give them b oth respect at least they throw
Just too good Lenox, as much as I admire Tommy.
Great brawl. It aint no tickling contest.
