I just don't get that shat...I mean really...a fighter can be from wherever the fwock he wants...if he's a great fighter then he should be well recieved.

Look at Morales, Pacquiao, Barrera, Sam Peter, Vitali Klitschko, Miguel Cotto, & the list goes on & on & on.

They are all great fighters & none of them are from the U.S.

They are still draws & they are still championship material...it doesn't make sense.

The greatest boxing performances I have seen by the big and small heavyweights. Was Lennox Lewis against David Tua and Chris Byrd against David tua.

I just saw Tua-Byrd now, it was a good fight but Chris's jab and overall handspeed just too much for Tua.
I was suprised because Byrd takes a pretty good punch

Yup, Chris takes a hell of a shot, he got up from when Wlad knocked him down twice and he still got up after that killer uppercut from Ibeabuchi

d) he beat up Mike Tyson (considering alot of boxing fans like Mike)

It has absoultely nothing to do with the colour of his skin, because if that were the case.....why is it that Chris Eubank, Watson, Bruno and Nigel Benn are so popular?

Personally i liked LL, he was calm, always chilled, occasionally funny ;D.....and a master of the sport in the ring. He beat everyone there was to beat and never lost if you include his rematches.

I don't think many (if any) proper fight fans dislike Lewis...
He avenged all his loses and was involved in some great fights.
