Why Is Lennox Telling Hatton To Retire?

[Parody]

I think top 5 is pretty uniform actually.


Ali
Louis
Holmes
Lewis
Marciano


Isn't that the standard 5 (except for the Tyson brigade's list)?

Good list dude.

Lennox wants hatton to retire because Lennox wants to be the best british fighter ever and dont want hatton to achieve anymore.
And to right Lennox should think he could beat Rahman in the return. Rahman wasnt exactly a world beater like PBF.
But most will lose to PBF but dont mean they should retire.

Lennox is looking at it through a Heavyweight perspective, you are either King or you are a court-jester.

People blame "Americans" for thinking this way so it's good to see the Brit talk this way...although I know what some will say, he has Canadian-USA/American ties so they took over his mind, blah, blah, blah.

Lennox has always been determined to be the best, that's why he stayed as an amatuer, to go after Gold because he would never feel complete, the best. Then he turned pro, built himself up, and tried to go after the best.

Good list dude.

Lol, you changed Foreman to Holmes...

to be honest, it wasn't in order, and I didn't actually put a lot of thought in it.

I don't blame Lewis for thinking that way though... honestly, that's how it was for him.

If you lose in the heavyweight division, you can't move up.

If you were an actualy live opponent in the heavyweight division, you can't move down.

Hatton will have his day at 140 for a long time if he beats Paulie.

I'm gonna watch Floyd humiliate the United Kingdom again, then head for dessert.

On HBO now...Nite.

Because the majority of boxers end up with some sort of brain damage, and Hatton has achieved more and made more money than 99% of professional boxers.

If you're a 6'5" 245lb heavy, you sure as hell can't move to cruiser. I don't think Hatton has more than about 2 years left in him, with his style he takes a lot of punishment, and with his overeating/overdrinking in between fights on top of it, I'm amazed that he's lasted this long.

I wasn't aware that Hatton takes much more of a beating than your average boxer to be honest.It's news to me.
He is a come forward fighter, but the image of him being taking a beating in every fight doesn't really spring to mind for me.

Lennox Lewis is a prick.
