what a load of bollocks. for a start lennox lewis is about as english as the twat who wrote that shit (oh i went to england once i'm a bit british). and lewis was never excepted by the public the way that bruno was (who is british) or even like danny williams has been. he has got quite a large fan base in england considering the popularity of the sport not being what it was and the fact that the interest in the heavy weights has nearly dissapeared.
and on to amir. yes he won silver. but lets not forget that before he turned pro he beat convinsingly beat mario cinderlan in his last fight as an amateur. cinderlan was the cuban fella who got gold and beat khan twice before and was also considered as the best amateur boxer around.
and amir has only had 7 fights as a pro and every time the opponents have been getting better and more experienced. we could throw him in the deep end and put him against a contender with 30 odd fights under his belt couldnt we. but it would make far more sense to take it slow and let him gain the experience he needs to win a tittle. he's only been a pro for about a year for fuck sake.
