Lennox Lewis was one of my favorite fighters, nobody gave this muther-fucker anything, he took names kicked ass, and when he lost he came back like a Champion to settle the score. IMHO, one of the most underrated Heavyweight Champions, he fought everyone who was anyone.

I agree. But this seems more like a "I like Lennox Lewis thread". What did you want to say about the 1st and 2nd Rahman fights?
Nothing other then what I said in the OP, Lewis got his ass handed to him in the 1st fight, but came back like a Champion in the 2nd.Quote:

Oh, well then I agree. I love the fact that when he knocked Rahman out, his head landed in the O of the Don King logo and it looked like he was wearing the crown. One of the best one-two punches ever.Quote:

Ray Mercer - a common myth! Watch the fight and score each round independantly - Lewis won fact
Akinwande - LMAO
Ross generally - LMAO

I see the wink, ;) - My guess is there probably wasn't any money in it, if LL ever fought Chis Byrd it would have been bye-bye byrdie and/or gone to be with Jesus. ;)Quote:

Laugh all you want, Lewis dropped the IBF to fight Kirk Johnson (;D) instead of Chris Byrd.
Lewis is someone i'd love to sit down with, have a few Red Stripes and talk about boxing, hell, i'd even buy the beer. Lennox is another one of those pugs who came from humble beginnings and mostly through their own initiative along with a big set of cojones became HW Champion of the World. Yes he could be an arrogant ass, but I think a lot of that was because he didn't get the respect he rightfully deserved.Quote:
