Lennox Lewis: "I'm Wladimir Klitschko's Only Challenger"

[QUOTE=edgarg;3767312]

My comment was not ridiculous, it was YOUR comment which was shallow and unthinking. Obviously you have seen little of Lewis as both a fighter, and a commentator, where the colleague commentators grease him up one side and down the other, compating what they see in the ring to the "Great" Lennox..... whilst he's smiling away and lapping it all up like a cat with cream......AND of course, agreeing with them.

I was not talking of Lewis' private life, What do i know of his private life?? I don't give a damn about his private life, nor the private lives of thousands of other boxers who are just as "private" as Lewis.

My comments were based PURELY on his public appearances and utterances.

The "limelight" I mentioned, is B-O-X-I-N-G W-O-R-L-D L-I-M-E-L-I-G-H-T. This should be so obvious that it should not need to be spelled out.

I don't see why I shuld have to educate you, so unless you have something concrete and thought-provoking to say, please make us happy by your silence.

Your post was a **** post. You have a personal dislike for Lennox Lewis as seen with your asinine comments about how Lewis "doesn't have the talent of Wlad Klitschko" when Klitschko has three KO losses on his record. So don't try to preach to me about "concrete" post with that ****** comment. Lewis made an evaluation and you act like he slapped your girlfriend. Don't even attempt to step to me with that bull****.

i think he meant the first time round.

Exactly. I didn't think that needed to be pointed out.

that be so tight if lennox came back

[Don Corleone]

Lewis left the champion and would leave the fight being champion again. I think he still has it left in him. With the Thompson fight, he really respected Wald when he was commenting about him. He is and will be one of the greatest HW's to ever enter the boxing ring. If he were to come back and stay focused on the fight, I think he stil has it in him to win. But I think the comment was more of a self praise more then anything else. He has every reason to be. He left as the champion and no one took it from him...Definetly one of the greatest...

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis says that current IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is without a real challenger. He doesn't see anyone giving Klitschko a real fight at the present, including David Haye. [details]

i think lennox could come out of retirement and give wlad a boxing lesson. lennox was a great fighter, a fav of mine and possibly the last great heavyweight if things continue like this

[KostyaTszyu44]

on that note lennox shouldnt come back. he was past his prime and undertrained when he fought vitali and was quite fortunate he managed to cut vitali. lewis already cemented his legacy by retiring on top and he shouldnt change that

Lewis is ALWAYS looking for an excuse to get into, and stay in the limelight. He has a habit of backing into it, in the most immodest way. I think the reason for his fairy-tale comments above was the fact that at the Klitschko fight, none of the commentators licked his rear end as they usually do-about how good he was, and how the present crop compare to him etc. It was all about Klitschko.

Has anyone noticed how Wladimir Klitschko has graduated from being a super-skilled,multi-talented boxer, fast moving, to being, (suddenly-by courtesy of the commentators in this fight) mechanical, robotic, stiff, etc. THIS was exactly how they used to refer to his brother Vitaly. Now they speak of Vitaly as " a tiger" "relentless" "heavy puncher", "fast", "destructive" etc. It's true he is (or was) ALL of those things, even whilst he was being called robotic, and as Larry Merchant said, "moving like a piece of construction machinery"...

It's strange how a few clacking mouthed comentators can change one's perceptions and opinions.

Lewis never had the talent of Klitschko, but was more ruthles, and had a well selected array of fouls that he could-and often did- get away with.

None of the article would have seen the light of day, if one single itty-bitty analyst had made the usual adulatory comment to Lewis, bringing that "half-moon" self-satisfied smile to his peanut-like visage.

Did it ever occur to you that Wlad fought horrible and won. Did he look smooth to you in the ring? Did he look beatable? Naw, the announcers shouldn't have criticized him, they should've just lied to us and say he looked like Muhamma Jeffries lol. Men who once backed him saw something wrong in Wlad. Wlad didn't deserve the criticism, he won ugly. !@%$% it, lets put Wlad on ppv and charge $69.99 for his next fight against Haye. The public will pay to see it. Wait, has Wlad been on ppv yet?

[Ray*]

LL isnt coming back he just likes to mess around sometimes.

[Scott9945]

lennox needs to do this for the sport of boxing.

Would you believe me if I told you that no fighter in history has ever entered the ring"for the sport of boxing"? It is a vicious and heartless business and fighters learn quickly to take what they can get from it, then hopefully get out before they get their head scrambled. Lewis is too smart to fall into that trap and he should be applauded for it.
