Thread: Lennox Lewis disses Evander Holyfield

http://www.doghouseboxing.com/dhb/chee_1016b06.htm

opinions??

Bad taste. I thought the idea of lrading by example meant keeping you mouth shut..
Im a bit disapointed to say the least.

Yeah me too. He has no bussiness to critisize somebody else that wants to compete at at older age.

Lennox is jealous. and wishes he could come back, but he knows in his heart that he is to old. Lennox said "he is an example to everyone that its ok to retire?" LOL who gives a flying fuk about Lewis? LOL.. nobody looking up to him for anything. what a joke. setting an example. fuk that !
for the read tho. I got a good laugh !

Refering to Evander Holyfield as an example, Lewis dissed the former Champ, saying: "Boxing is a sport where you can get stuck in it. Evander Holyfield is still boxing and he is getting beat by featherweights and really somebody needs to tell him to retire."

Lewis has no intentions of returning to boxing, adding: "I set the format for this and I am showing all the boxers its okay to retire. The goal is to retire on top."

Lewis is right that he has set the example whilst the other greats of his era ( Bowe , Tyson and Holyfield ) are struggling against limited opposition .

Even though this is true I wish Evander the best and hope he wins back a title . Not many are as fortunate as Lennox who beat every guy he fought and achieved everything . Evander obviously feels there is more to do

i agree he should retire but who the f..ck does lewis think he is?one of the greats?i think not!!!All the boring pussy did was beat greats that were well and truly past there primes!!!

has any one ever heard of Jim Elliot?

This loser's alter-ego which he uses to try and gain traffic to his crappy forums that only he posts on...

so beating a 39 year old evander on points and a 38 year old tyson just after tyson came out of jail was fat and lewis said we either fight now or never...................what a great warrrior this lewis was, only fighjting tyson once he's way past his best and out of shape having his first fight in 2 years yeah lewis is a real gladiater my god what a fighter plus he demanded to much to fight bowe when bowe was world champ that shows great confidence on top of it all he was jealous of frank bruno's popularity, unlike lewis bruno had the guts to take a fight against tyson when iron mike was the baddest man on the planet and frank did his best and when he lost he didn't make excuses he said i did my best and it wasn't enough i'm sorry i let british boxing fans down. lennox never fought the top guys unless they were only half the men they once were and even then he couldn't do the job right, when he got beat every excuse in the book was used, thats why in england bruno is held much higher and loved by all with lewis way behide him because frank didn't go around calling people uncle toms and talking trash trying to be little others efforts, even today when bruno makes a personal appearece peoiple stand and cheer, how many does lewis make. so i'm not suprised about lewis's coments about evander........its what lewis does best.......be little others

Is Lewis wrong? I dont get whats so offensive about it, ok Holyfield hasnt been beaten by a featherweight so at worst Lewis is being a bit cheeky.

If any of us were speaking about getting out of boxing it the right time wouldn't we all use Holyfield as an example of what NOT to do?

The last time I saw them in the same building at the same time was at the Michael Watson fund raiser . Lewis had queues of people lining up to get his autograph . Bruno was by himself .

in there first fight i thought holy was 37 anyways he beat ray mercer gary mason who was 35-0 he beat tommy morrison andrew golota who was fresh of battering bowe holyfield was still decent fighter he also beat razor ruddock who was fresh off giving tyson two very hard fights lewis has beaten alot of good fighters so i dont know what ur on about mate to name few more david tua who almost beat ike who was excellent fighter he beat vitali aswell shannon briggs and frank bruno

Lewis is absolutely right to say that...someone has to say it to evander...you claim yourself to be fan of this man...the only way to be a fan of evander is to wish him to retire healthy...

sorry dude i gotta pull u up there mate....firstly mercer and golota were mediocre at best,morrison was the glass jawed great white hype,david tua was a clone of an old mike tyson very one dimentional,shannon briggs was crap,why do u think big george hand picked him ,frank was past his prime and so was holy and tyson ,so the only good fighter he fought was vitali and the big russian knocked lewis sensless......ruddick was just ok..when he fought tyson ,mike had transformed into a conventional fighter,he was pretty easy to hit,he showed non of the head movement he was famous for with rooney,wich made ruddick look credible but he was just ur typical tall HW with lazy offence and no defence!!!!........just my opinion bro!

no problem mate ur allowed ur opinion mercer was good and had iron chin golota was good aswell remember him battering bowe in them 2 fights yep i agree about morrison he had some skills but a weak chin briggs is ok tyson did move hes head in 1st fight ruddock was good i think with excellent power tua is good fighter in my book aswell excellent chin and good workrate like what he showed against ike but thats my opinion anyway mate

Foreman lost to the hand picked Briggs and Vitali got beat.

Fact...........Bro
