Is Lennox Lewis the most humble,lovable, and gentle champion of all times?

Ha, I am. I was just giving my reasoning for answering no in the poll. If you want something more recent take his constant talk of returning to the ring and becoming undisputed champion again! I wouldn't call that the actions of a humble guy!

I like Lewis more than I like Tua in fact. Except the pineapple haircut Tua had is probably the best thing either of them ever accomplished.

But, also objectively, more often than not, Foreman clubs him like a baby seal. I am simply adding my own criteria to the thread.

then by your own statements NO boxers are humble then. They all talk about coming back at some point or another.

I had a feeling you were but never can be too sure. You're alright too.

But really, I'd rather have a beer with Tua than watch him fight. It's sort of like watching Leonardo da Vinci use an etch-a-sketch. Maybe a little less drastic than that. **** it, it's generally disappointing.

The mind still boggles how he managed to NOT win a title at some stage, with his talent and the heavyweight scene in the last decade or so, that takes some screwing up.

I hear he's making another comeback, they just need to put him in there with come forward guys who are going to stand and trade with him, I still think he flattens almost anyone in that situation

I reckon he could do Arreola tbh

He was a bit of a headcase. Lewis didn't even have to work to make him shut down mentally and follow him around.

I think his trainer was the main problem. I saw Tua throw three left-hooks with absurd speed. There was some raw talent to be molded there.

They could call it 'Battle of the Bulging waists'

I would love nothing more than to see Tua knock Arreola flat.

Actually I'd love to see him get Wilder too and clear out America's heavyweight "talent" so we can just claim to having done it once.

He showed he can still throw those three hooks in quick succession against Shane Cameron. That could well be enough.

I would keep him wrapped in a baby's blankey so that he would be extra warm and cozy, and on my lunch break I would feed him the cheese squares from my ham and cheese 'Lunchables' and rub his belly.

lmfao
