Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"

[El Kabong]

....I would venture to say Lennox wishes to make himself and his career look better.

I think you people who think Lewis would become champ again are delusional. Lewis looked slower and past his prime in his last fight against Vitali... and that was over 5 years ago! We're talking about a 43 year old man who's been out of the ring for 5 years, and you people expect him to whip a young stud like Wlad? Not on your life.

Lewis was IMO one of the greatest HWs to ever live, but at this age and given the inactivity, I don't see him being a factor in the HW division. I think Wlad, Peter and a few others would eat him up.

Lewis is and always was full of himself and shiit

At least Thompson was undefeated, Botha had been stopped by Moorer and pole axed by Tyson with one punch before Lewis took him on as a safe opponent for his London showcase.

Grant was undefeated but Lewis fought like a man shiiting himself, big windmill punches, falling in, it was very messy, Lewis happened to be a good heavyweight among mediocre and does alot alot more credit than he earned, he steared well clear of Byrd and only retired because Mike Tyson couldnt be bothered to string a couple of wins together to create interest in a rematch, much like Mayweather and De La Hoya.

It had a little to do with being battered by Vitali but if Mike had put a couple of interesting wins together we would have seen a rematch for sure.

Possibly - but his resume beats that of the currently active HW division.

Collectively.
