    Of course he did, people need to get a grip on reality if they think there was ANY controversy.

    Hows things by the way?

          I'll debate this one I feel like kicking someones ass with the truth.

          Cool, i'm glad to hear all is well. I'm cool as usual, been enjoying life very much recently. Things are looking good. I haven't boxed for the last few weeks even. I haven't got the time which is a little disheartening but everything else is fine. It's rare i get on here these days but i like to keep checking on the odd occassion to see how the debating is going. Although i must say i have noticed a few *******s reading some of the threads.

            Absolutely not, after Lewis got KO'd by McCall he went through a body transformation, people thought he was through when they saw how much he weighed for his return bout, but he put good weight on and his huge frame was way better off for it. You say Lewis would win at any stage, well your out of your mind!!! The Lewis that lost every round to Frank Bruno couldn't have beaten Holyfield and a lot of other fighters as well. Lennox when coming up was very amaturish at times, he was managed carefully early on and after the McCall fight he changed for the better. This Lewis you can at least make a case for beating Holyfield at any stage, although I think that is false as well, but that should be your argument, Pre-McCall Lewis was very beatable.

              I am sure - Lewis won this fight. Nothing controversial.

Holyfield I doesn't mean that Holyfield should win every round in which he blocks Lewis's punches with his face. I don't see how its possible to give Holyfield 7 rounds. I personally had it 117-111 for Lewis.

                It was a clear cut and clean win for Lewis. The only people who had Holyfield winning are hardcore Holyfield fans or Lewis haters

                  Lewis didn`t lose every round to Frank Bruno, the scorecards were more or less level when lewis stopped Bruno. I wouldn`t go so far as to say Evander would beat lewis pre - McCall but i see the point about the body conditioning and certainly Emmanel Steward corrected alot of mistakes. I believe the Holyfield who beat Rid**** Bowe would have a decent chance of beating the Lennox lewis of 1993. But this is more fantasy fights, who can tell?
