:coolclick:

I think it is mainly with his style. Although he had some great fights, ALL of his mainstream fights were boring on account of him fighting safe.

Its hard to dislike someone who sbeen so sucessful . Maybe its jelousy or its something about his personality cuz as a boxer you cant fault the man . He beat everyone he ever fought and he retired on top as champ with money in the bank . He is a sucess story and I dont think people are used to that

I fault him for doing everything he could to make the two Holyfield fights and the Tua fight as boring as humanly possible. He fought scarred, and no one likes that.

Chris Eubank, Watson, Bruno and Nigel Benn all fought alot on either BBC or ITV but Almost all lewis fights of importance were bloody PPV on sky, thats a big reason why he was not really that big in britain.

people don't like lennox because he was accused of calling frank bruno uncle tom. That made british fans dislike him and closer to frank. Frank is more loved than lennox in britain, even thou if lennox is a million times better boxer, infact no comparison. To be honest lennox is too special for many people to like him because he soo different to most people, he has the best personality on the planet and the best soul.
I will explain why because when tyson said he goin to eat lewis children and eat his heart exactly one year before getting smashed by lewis. Lewis never replied with insult even thou he could afford to and tyson obviously couldn't afford to insult lewis but still talk trashed about lewis.
the second reason is tyson had the hottest women on planet such as naomi campbell, robert givens who was with brad pitt in her old age well after mike tyson. now the only reason tyson got theses girls is because he was heavyweight champion or former heavyweight champion of the world. remember tyson wasn't good looking, he short, crazy personality, he's in millions of dept. but he took his advantage of so many girls because he was a good recognise world fighter.BUT NOTHING COMPARE TO LEWIS BE PROVEN.
lennox is very loyal because he only be with one girl who was his girl friend and now his wife. Now if tyson could get the hottest girl in the world then i'm sure lennox is way to good. because he taller and better looking than tyson(no comparison) he got great personality, he rich and ofcourse much better figet than tyson. LENNOX DOESN'T HIT WOMEN

Robert Givens? :puke:

Do you write for the Inquirer? Enquiring minds want to know. ::**

SORRY ROBIN GIVENS******************

ALSO FIGET = FIGHTING
i SORRY FOR MY SPELLING i'VE JUST STARTED TO LEARN ENGLISH BECAUSE I SPEND THE 10 YEARS ON BOXINBG NOT PHYSICALLY BUT MENTALLY

I thought the brits disliked Lewis because he destroyed Frank Bruno

I think james is perfectly right because of frank bruno. Lennox beat up the bad british audience, refree and the fighter at the same time

I also think the media didn't help, maybe that was because Bruno was all over the rags because of his fights with Tyson.

people say he's boring yet i'd watch his left hook overhand right combos all day

I'm not from the UK, but any fighter who claims 3 countries{England,Canada, and Jamaica}, will not get as great of hometown support as a fighter who only claims one.
