I always thought he sounded like a phony.
When tyson says "I'll make you my bitch" He F#ckin means it!
Lennox was smart and well managed. He treated boxing like a business,plain and simple.
I don't like his hairdo either!

Oh and PHd's in the Ukraine come in regular and 2-ply

Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
I cant see how Lewis can be haunted by a guy who he stopped when he was at his worst in 6 rounds . Doesnt make sense .
Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
lewis left as the best & prob still would be if he was still fighting
Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
AHHH why all the BS about Lewis....Truth is all anyone who detracts from Lewis and his career ever talk about is his 2 KO losses and call him Glass Jaw/Weak Chin or what ever the case may be.....Or the last option is they call him boring....The biggest garbage I hear about him is when he beat so and so he was past his prime...Give me a break......Tyson made a name for himself on BUMS!!!!!! not past prime fighters BUMS!!!!!...but we don't talk about that...as well as about 5 other HW champions that always make the all time list....
Lewis was the BEST HW or this era hands down..Call his Opp what you want fact is he won!!....Speak about his 2 KO losses coming from one punch...but Lewis was in HORRIBLE!!!!...I'll say it again...HORRIBLE hsape both times...in the rematches he avenged both losses in style.....To say Lewis was scared to fight Vitaly again is just stupid!!!!!....why would he fear Vitaly??...Because he was behind on the cards?...Because he was tired by the end of the fight?.....Hey watch the fight again....besides the cut Vitaly was no ball of energy!!!...both were leaning on each other huffing and puffing.....If Lewis was not scared to face the men who KO'd him in rematches then he was not scared to face a guy he practically removed the top half of his face...
Love him or Hate him ( and I have said this before and will again)...Lennox Lewis was the most Dominate HW since Larry Holmes...AND I INCLUDE TYSON!!!!
Lewis held a firm hold on the division for years. Even before he was the undisputed champ he was recognized as THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.....There is judging and debating while using your feelings and then there is the facts
Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
lewis did have a chin, remember Mercer!
Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
Still shocks me when people alk about this lol- title fights are fought over 12 rounds for a reason; just coz u don't win them all don't mean shite, lewis got a TKO and won.
Lewis was way past his best when he fought vitali and still won. In his prime i think lewis would of taken vitali apart, sure vitali wuld of won a few rounds, but he would of been bust up badly. Imo Lewis was always a class above him and his brother, and always will be - and i really disslike lewis

CC for the Marciano statement...Most people avoid saying such things about Marciano like it was Taboo

Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
o think lewes wishes he had never fought vitali, cause vitali made him look real bad. if the stupid docter ahdnt stopped the fight, i think lennox would have been gone in the next few rounds. i also think he ducked wlad for a couple of yeard when they were considered to be the top 2 HWs, beforee the sanders incident.

Re: Is lennox Lewis still haunted by vitali klitscho or even Wladimir klitschko
I gotta disagree with the post because i think lewis is the better fight and aint haunted by vit or wlad.
Another thing i gotta disagree with is saying if lewis didn't have that extra weight he wouldn't of cut vit because it wasn't so much the force of the punch that cut him it was the angle the glove caught his face right on the end of the glove. If you got the fight with the british commentary on youtube you'll get a good replay of the punch that cuts him. He could of caught him with half the power he did and he would still of been cut.
Lewis is an atg top 10 imo

buster knocked tyosn TFO but no one holds that agasint tyson! and who the fuck was buster the bum douglas tbh? no one, shit happens in the HW devision coz they hit so god damn hard. Henry cooper was one round away fro KOing ali, but ali's glove 'split' and he had time to recover and then go out and blast out cooper.

Funny thing about that though...Lewis is the one that made Tyson look like a bitch.
Talking a bunch of shit don't mean jack if you can't back it up...& if Tyson couldn't intimidate & bully the man standing across from him...he got his ass handed to him.
Lewis was fundamentally the better fighter & he also had his head on straight...that can't be said about Mike.
