Cool Lennox Lewis training

And yet because they toe the party line and willingly partake in maintaining the old school status quo they're embraced and accepted.

Care to elaborate...

I don't mean to crap on this part of the forum, which has resulted in some excellent and truly enlightening threads, but when I read some of the ludicrous nonsense that spews from some posters' keyboards it really makes my blood boil. Worse even than the whole Haye Klit fiasco.

Don't be shy, who are these posters?

It's a shame that posters like these are so prevalent (and even respected) in the boxing history section. They clearly have very limited knowledge or understanding of the sport they claim to be a fan of, possess little to no ability to debate things in a civil or logical way, and consistently make ludicrous claims backed up by little more than smoky old gym tales, colourful quotes and rampant nostalgia.

Seriously, "stale piece of toast?" I'm genuinely at a loss for words.

He will be remembered as a boring fighter by many people. But for me he will also be remembered as the second best fighter of the 90s behind Holyfield.

They're really not hard to spot.

I'm fine with people calling him boring, even though I'd disagree. That's more a matter of taste which is relatively subjective. But to say he's not a great fighter, not even a decent fighter but a stale piece of toast who'll not be remembered in years to come is an afront, frankly, and one that can't be backed up without any degree of authority.

Sounds like a cop out to me, are you talking crap with nothing to back it up? You also ignored the other part of my post...

What "old school status quo" are you speaking about?

Who are they embraced and accepted by?

Please elaborate.

i think that some of the arguments against lewis are baseless and often, the posters commenting come across as having an axe to grind.

that's just me. cool footage though - thanks.
