Lennox Lewis picks winner of Mayweather vs Pacquiao and disses Solis

Lennox Lewis picks winner of Mayweather vs Pacquiao and disses Solis by Lee Skavydis Former undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis does not fancy former olympic gold medallist, Odlanier Solis's chances against Ukraininan heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko. "“I heard Vitali saying the other day that it would be a very difficult fight and how Solis is a challenge to him. I know what he’s doing. He’s trying to sell the fight. He has to do that. Since he’s come back, he hasn’t even lost a round. There aren’t a lot of heavyweights out there right now. My era, you had myself, Evander Holyfield, of course Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe. There were a lot of good guys. Muhammad Ali’s era, there were a lot of great heavyweights. There were a ton of great guys then, but the era before Muhammad Ali’s, or Larry Holmes’ era, it was lacking. There weren’t many. It has really dwindled down now and I say we’re in a rebuilding stage. We’re waiting for some new bright star to fight his way into the spotlight.” Lewis stated. Lewis also took his chance to pick a winner of the potential megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao: Read More: http://www.ringnews24.com/index.php/blog/35-demo-content/10537-lennox-lewis-picks-winner-of-mayweather-vs-pacquiao-and-disses-solis.html#axzz1H9ckzbPp

Running around? Does Lennox truly believe Manny can defeat May in the middle of the ring, lets be honest here. Thats where May will stay and he will counter his lil ass all night lol when have you ever seen mayweather stay in the middle and became a counterpuncher against southpaw. never...against all the southpaw he had faced, Floyd was always the aggressor .he doesnt know how to counter soutpaws . just watch his fight with Judah. when Judah threw punches, Floyd just covered up . That's why his Floyd sr never wanted Floyd to fight against a soutpaw. If only Zab listened to his father when he told him to take it to Floyd and throw combinations,he probably wouldve beaten Floyd. Now imagine if Floyd is up against PAC who never stop throwing blistering powerful punches...with both hands..from all angles. PAC would fukk mayweather Up.....easily. The Mayweathers knows this . this is why this fight will never happen.

The judges if it went to a decision would go for Pac cos they would be fed up of Floyd being called a fighter, when he is more of a pity paty type guy. Whereas Pac breaks you down methodically, while not neccesarily looking for a one punch knockout out.

Obviously the Pacquiao testicle connoisseurs aren't going to get mad. Lennox picked Pacquiao. If Lennox picked Floyd, they would get just as mad. Like they did when Tyson picked Floyd. Both sides r pathetic, and pretending one side is more pathetic than the other only means ur one of them :rofl::rofl::rofl:

someone should remind lennox his era was **** too. holyfield, bowe and tyson may have been around when he was fighting, but he never fought them in their prime. they were prime before his era. his era was john ruiz, chris byrd, david tua, golota..pretty average too if you ask me, ask anyone His era also had the Klitchko's, the Klitchko's cant say the same

Just like how he stayed in the middle of the ring against hatton right? Btw Hatton sucks and he had Mayweather running a 10-day marathon. Mayweather won't survive Pacquiao's onslaught Your an idiot that dont understand how a fighter fights within his style to win ,,, Floyd is a defensive genius loaded with natural skills and ring generalship that is very special , Pac wont survive Floyds range and accuracy , Pac has never been close to anything remotely like Floyd where Floyd has dealt with pressure fighters many times , Pac wont be a problem for Floyd so long as Pac takes a OST so that he dont use PEDS to cheat , but Pac dont wanna do that cheating is more productive for him .

Lennox knows what's up. Either Floyd gets overly defensive and get outworked all night or he fights and gets beat up.

I'm getting sick and tired of all these articles about "this boxer picks pacquiao, or this trainer picks mayweather, or this celebrity picks whoever. This fight needs to just happen already, **** who picks who. The only way to find out for sure is to have the ****ing fight. Someone please talk some sense into pretty boy so we can all get what we want and move the **** on...

I respect Lennox's opinion but the only man to have gone the distance with both fighters picked Floyd to win, JMM. Also Hatton and De La Hoya picked him to win as well and they don't even like Floyd. BOXERS can see something the fans don't, and just about every fighter has picked Floyd. both sides make good points though. i only pick Mayweather based on his ability to adapt in the ring and make the necessary changes to control the outcome of his fights. His defense and counter skills are the best in boxing and there is isnt anyone on Pacs resume except for Marquez who's skills come close. ofcourse Manny's determination is nothing to mess with and I could never count him out, but deep down i believe Floyd IS THAT GOOD.

Fantastic debate and lets remember Lennox original words as this debate has grown. Lennox Lewis picks winner of Mayweather vs Pacquiao and disses Solis by Lee Skavydis Former undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis does not fancy former olympic gold medallist, Odlanier Solis's chances against Ukraininan heavyweight champion, Vitali Klitschko. "“I heard Vitali saying the other day that it would be a very difficult fight and how Solis is a challenge to him. I know what he’s doing. He’s trying to sell the fight. He has to do that.

everybody knows Pacquiao would win, Even Fraud Gayweather I would be rooting for Manny, but would expect Floyd to win a wide UD. No matter, the fight isnt ever going to happen anyhow. Its almost a waste of time to even discuss it at this point.

LOL at your big words, I don't understand it becuz I'm a retard! Why? Am I wrong, didn't Hatton and DLH got blasted by Pac? I'm asking this question even though nothing about ur reply disputed this statement. The only reason I asked this question was so that my boyfriends will think ur a stan and will come help me. IDGAS if Lennox picks Floyd or even the whole world turns against Pac, I see it how I see it. Again, I'm pointing this out for no reason. Nothing u said disputed this. I am merely angry becuz u said that Pacquiao testicle CONNOISSEURS were pathetic and that offends me, for I am one. It's just funny to see stans like yesir and how stupid they can get. Nothing u said makes u a stan, other than the part where u say Pacquiao's nuthugging fans r pathetic. Even though u also said Floyd's nuthugger fans r pathetic too, I only payed attention to the part where u say Pac's nuthugger fans r pathetic, so that way, it's easier to pretend ur a Floyd nuthugger so that my boyfriends will come to my rescue. Now excuse me I have to give my Manny Pacquiao wax replica a :blowjob: Well, at least ur self aware? BTW, how do u spell it than jackass?
