Why is Lennox Lewis so hated by boxing fans.

I think partly it is because he wasn't your average loudmouth black american heavyweight champion. Also I believe that if he was American he would have been a superstar.

Can only think of a handful of people who hate him.

Who hates Lewis? Not me. I like him as a commentator. Great champion.

Typical racist Brit. I could care less where a fighter is from. Don't use that silly British cop out that you always use to justify why nobody likes a boring British/Euro fighter. Nobody cares where a fighter is from. If he isn't entertaining, I don't like him. I can't speak for all American's but Lennox did absolutely nothing for me anytime he stepped into the ring.

[PEBBLES!]

The people who hate him the most are usually ardent fans of the boxers Lewis defeated.

ie Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko




I don't think it has anything to do with race, btw.

I thought he was brilliant! And he brought me years of fun while he was ruling the heavyweight roost. Twas a shame about him not being able to meet Rid**** Bowe but, what can you do.

He is only hated by Steelhammer 2010. For no other reason than scoring a legitimate stoppage win over Vitali.

I think most people have him in their top 20 HW's, with a fair few placing him in the top 10.

Or any other top contender while he was fighting. What a coincidence.

His record stands up pretty well. Apart from Bowe, who didn't he fight?

Ha I ain't racist. And btw some people do care where a fighter is from. I've heard plenty of people dis pacquiao simply for being Filipino.
