I was surprised by that.
Not really sure what that was all about...Noticed it myself....On one hand it could be that since the commenttators were talking Wlad up so much Lennox had to remind everyone exactly how he ruled the division...On the other I think he expected more of Wlad and knew Wlad could have sparked Rahman out much sooner.........

Then again it could just be the old dog feeling a bit underappreciated.......

Why he just got into the hall of fame. I think Wlad holds back on his punches for obvious reasons, the fact of the matter is he's only failed to stop 2 guys since he was knocked out by Lamont Brewster. That is a 80% KO ratio, and they haven't been horrible fighters either, not the best the division has ever seen, but still the best the division has had to offer.
Well Wlad was getting quite a bit of praise from the HBO team...Lennox is an athlete and any athlete of that caliber has a bit of an ego...it happens...like a kid who sees thei younger friends getting attention for doing something they just did

not saying that was the reason I said it "Could have been"...It was not the usual Lewis comments
