WHo is more respected by the americans: Calzaghe or Lewis

tyson wasn't shot when he fought lennox. he was past prime. just like hopkins was. the tyson lennox fought would have still beat most heavyweights out there. mike tyson , evander holyfield , vitali klitschko , hasim rahman , david tua , oliver mccall , tommy morrison , shannon briggs , andrew golota , razor ruddock , frank bruno , ray mercer...... he beat these guys when they were in they're prime. an old , past prime lennox lewis tko'd vitali klitschko in his prime. don't compare joe's crap resume to lennox's. One of Lennox's biggest fans but........are you fkn kidding???

Easy question. To any man, American or not, Calz should be viewed as a piece of shit fighter. I mean, what is a 35 year old fighter doing dry humping another fighter (Hopkins) in the ring? What kind of immature gay shit is that? Calz has no respect and the general public has no idea who he is because he's nothing special at all. Not to mention he didn't grow the balls to fight any of the top world champions until they were over the hill. Yes, the Lacey fight was good, but Lacey wasn't all that. If I recall right he was a show time fighter. lol Lewis is the fighter that's respected all they way. Could anyone imagined Lewis dry humping another fighter in the ring? No, he had too much class.

*sigh* Ok, whatever...I'm sorry I made fun of your comments, but I couldn't just say "ok, youre right" or "I disagree, but I respect your opinion". How can I when I dislike them? Don't waste your time on these hateful fools. They're blind and childlike.

ummm......maybe because he messed up vitali's eye and they stopped the fight because of it. vitali was doing good and was ahead but they stopped the damn fight! tko win is a tko win no matter who was ahead or who you are rooting for or who you think would have won if it had gone on. Remember the brothers only win by Dominating KO victory so if anything else happens there must be foul play or racism involved. True story.

thats actually a pretty good question.... i think people would be more open to Calzaghe's personality etc except for the fact that the MS americans favor a HW against all others... i'd say lewis, due to his weight class.... but if calzaghe had more mainstream exposure, i think he would have taken this! just to say it again :D

I guess if I wasn't a Klitschko fan but a Lewis or Holmes fan, it would be a cool post huh? Please...I can see thru you and your hypocrisy. I hated Lewis and Holmes. What hypocrisy? Please do explain. People are making valid points and intead of addressing them you put up some stupid image and pretend like they're invalid.

lewis beat a pathetic VERSION of tyson who then went onto lose to williams and mcbride and beat a old holyfield even tho i thought 2nd fight couldve went holyfields way if not for the 1st fight being so clearly a robbery. prime tyson and holyfield v lewis they would beat him.calzaghe beat old hopkins regardles wat you say and a piss poor version of jones both beat joe if they were peak.lewis isnt even british really but cmon joe cleary is both should get respect for what they acheived but i will always say they both got their big fights at the right times when other guys were older and on the slide. That's actually a very good post for a newbie. Better than these other chumps.

How can you say you root for Vitali and they say ''I can't be a fan of the brothers'' You are a confused individual who belong in a place where you can talk with other confused women. Let the men talk child. I was rooting for Vitali at the time, I didn't like Lewis. I'm not confused at all. Since Vitali's loss to Lewis I was annoyed with his injuries and the fans on this site compounded the issue. A K brother fan calling me a child. Priceless! :rofl: You guys are the one's ignoring other posters because they have differing opinions.

Now that's bullshit. Why do you insist that Lewis won deservedly then?? IT'S A TKO VICTORY!!! Vitali's eye was very bad and it was decided that he couldn't continue. Lennox created the cut WITH A PUNCH, which is legitimate. Look at it this way. Juan Diaz lost to Nate Campbell via UD after sustaining a horrible cut caused by a punch. If they had stopped the fight due to the cut, Diaz would've lost the fight even though he was winning at the time. Would that mean that Campbell didn't deservedly win? No. It means he exploited the cut like a smart fighter should. As I've said, Vitali was winning but Lennox exploited a terrible cut and got a TKO victory, there's nothing wrong with that. We have no idea what would've happened had the fight continued so we can't speculate, but IMO Lennox had the momentum.

WTF? I was rooting for Vitali and had him up at the time of the stoppage. This is why I can't be a fan of the brothers. Their fans are childish.

:sleeping: Sorry, did you say something? Typical childish post from Klit fan. i was rooting for vitali too. i didn't like lewis. still doesn't mean vitali won. Good honest unbiased post.

Lennox Lewis

Why is there such a controversy over Klitschko-Lewis? Why do people wanna pretend as if Vitali won the fight or something? Get over it, he lost!

Your biased scorecards mans nothing. WTF? I was rooting for Vitali and had him up at the time of the stoppage. This is why I can't be a fan of the brothers. Their fans are childish.

im not an american but im sure they respect lewis more :lol1:

Yeah, everybody that points out the facts is a stupid troll here it seems. Yeah, nice logic my man!:rolleyes: Cut caused by punch>hence the TKO win for Lewis. Some nuthuggers can't get this in their head.Those guys are trolls. Yes,Vitali was winning the fight but he lost a clean TKO.Get over it.

No, Vitali is lucky the doctors stopped the fight. Lennox had the momentum and was coming back on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage. I had Vitali up on my card and he was winning, but the tide was turning and Lennox would've won either way. Credit Vitali for wanting to continue, but if he had it could've been a career ending injury. Lennox beat Vitali. Your biased scorecards mans nothing.

Yeah, you go on and fool yourself. Live in the illusion that Lennox really beat Vitali. Judges and unbiased observers know the truth. How many times have we seen fighters start out hot and then lose a fight in the second half of the fight? Vitali lost the last couple rounds and the momentum was clearly sliding Lewis's way. Vitali WAS winning but he was beaten by an awful cut and a smart champion who knew how to exploit it.

neither boxer gets the credit they deserve.they were both world class boxers,calzaghe undefeated,ruled the super mid division for ten years,unified the titles and then moved up to beat bernard hopkins for the lightheavyweight crown and then beat jones that deserves credit
