Reportedly, there is some talk that Team Briggs may expand to include controversial and "banned from the corner for life" Carlos "Panama" Lewis. Lewis trained Sultan for several bouts before being fired. Lewis did time for his participation in the glove padding incident with Irsih Billy Collins, Jr. I personnaly view him with total disdain.
Hes a wanker with no soul
It would be a disgrace.....
I would lose all respect for ANY boxer who would allow Panama Lewis into their camp. He is a utterly despicable human being.
Panama knows his Shit and could have been one of the greatest trainers this sport ever seen....But he is a disgrace who showed that he will win at ALL COST!!!.....That is something this sport does not need.......who the hell does he ntrain right now?...does everthing but go to the ring with the guy?...I think a Russian fighter could be wrong though
Panama is a slime ball and evil incarnate. >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad
panama is s fukn cheater
I have no respect for panama lewis.. In fact..I dont even think he is even that great a trainer..
I mean he must have some skills..Cos theres been a few names out there that have had him..
But for example when he had oba carr..Oba could have been the dogs nuts had he stuck with manny steward, But he ended up with panama lewis took a fight with tito and got stopped for his first defeat..
And this was way back when the welterweight division was big and there was alot of competition and alot of money to be made... And it was self evident that oba was in felix's class...Jus wasnt bien told what to do..
Besides all that the obvious thing about lewis is that he's scum and bollocks to this no entering the ring shit..He should never be involved in boxing at all ever..
Pure scum
Total agreement!Quote:

I hate to be the asshole on the board here ;D ...but what makes everyone think that Panama Lewis was all that great in the first place?
I mean he pulled that shit in the Collins fight, then the "black bottle" in the Pryor fight, & now he's the main man for Ibragimov?
Both wasn't that great & he didn't do shit for Tyson...so...what makes everyone think that he was so great...or even still is? He's always been a turd...I just don't get it.
I think people just like him because he's willing to do ANYTHING to get his fighter to win....he's no gentleman that's for sure.
But there are a lot of sleezes in this sport, he's a dime a dozen
;) spot onQuote:

Poor but proud Southern folk who worked hard...and then along comes Lewis and muggs this poor kid. No sympathies from this quarter. BTW, Sulatn canned him and now Briggs is thinking about bringing him in. Briggs must have a "great" PR man!
wacko3205, actually, he has a very good reputation as a trainer. He is considered more of a teacher than anything else. But that all goes out the window given his lack of values.
I will never buy into him having a good reputation as a trainer...I question anything that anyone says about the man...period...because like you said...his moral ethics blows that to pieces.Quote:

Wacks, Pulling the tricks he has comes from a lack of confidence in your coaching ability. Also being an arsehole doesnt help.
Lol yeh youre absolutely right wacko.. No doubt..Quote:

Lol they need to wake up.
Peace
Not sure eveyone thinks he is so grreat. He has trained a lot of great fighters. But he felt that his skills were not enough so he went beyond the rules to win. Thus he was inducted into Boxing's International Hall of Slime.
Maybe not on such a large scale but there are crooked trainers out there in Podunk, USA/PR/DR/Russia/UK and everywhere else and they have probably done the same kind of things Panama has.Quote:

I'd prefer to deal with what I know rather than speculate. There are too many decent trainers out there to do that. IMO As far as I lknow, removing paddinf is an exclusive that belongs to Lewis.
padding
LEWIS'S NAME SHOULD NOT EVEN BE MENTIONED. HE HAS DISGRACED HIMSELF IMO
Yes.
