    Why does AJ hate Lennox all of a sudden

    They did a round table years ago on skysports and Lennox had lots of praise for AJ and you could see AJ clearly loved getting any respect from Lewis but now I’m seeing a YouTube vid where he calls Lewis a clown. What happened there then lads?

    Haven't seen the clip but, in my opinion, Lewis has sullied his reputation with his post boxing career.

    Talks rubbish and his opinions are formed by the highest bidder. Disappointing when a fighter as classy as him turns out to be such a weak individual.

      Lennox has sadi quite a bit of negative stuff about Joshuas ability and Joshua took it to heart.

        When AJ turned professional, Lewis wanted to manage/promote him, and AJ rejected him in favour of Matchroom. Since then, Lewis has been critical of AJ many times, and had nothing positive to say. Considering the high profile of both, this inevitably leads to AJ being questioned by the media every time Lewis criticises him, and inevitably ends up with a negative reaction.

        It's no big deal really. Lewis **** talks AJ. AJ **** talks back

          Lennox doesn’t have a promotional company at least not one that could compare with matchroom, top rank, pbc etc. I find it hard to believe that is the reason but I could believe AJ thinks he’s an atg better than Lennox and his mouth got him into a beef his resume can’t back up.

            Yeah, I saw some interviews in the past with Spence Fearon were he talked on Joshua's decision not to sign with Lewis possibly rubbing him up the wrong way.

                He was always like that.
                he hated on david haye and tyson fury aswell. However to make himself look like he really cared about british boxing he pretended to back audley harrison, as he got some tv time on bbc (back when bbx were airing live boxing).
                He then became manager of david price.

                As for aj, aj rejected lewis's offer to manager aj's career. Lennox would then take sly dogs at aj. For example insisting that aj was the reason why the wilder fight didnt happen.
                That was what made aj lose respect for him
                Tyson fury also has called out lennox in the past.

                Tyson Fury: 'I have no respect for Lennox Lewis'


                ​​​​​​British heavyweight Tyson Fury has furthered his war of words with Lennox Lewis, labeling the former world champion "a *****".

                Fury and Lewis have been involved in a spat over the past seven days, and the unbeaten fighter has insisted that the 47-year-old should not be talking about his ability to take a punch.

                The 24-year-old told World Boxing News: "Lennox Lewis has the cheek to talk bout chins when he was proper chinny!

                "He lost to journeymen, got knocked out too and I am unbeaten, what a *****! I have no respect for him at all and David Price won't make nothing of himself as long as he is with Lewis."

                  I’ve always thought Lennox was salty that he never received the love from the British public even though the was the best of his era. He hated Frank Bruno for being more popular when it all came down to personality Frank is still a lovely guy who connects to people. Lewis has a demeanor that comes off as arrogant and not the funny kind like Ali or naz.

                    Lennox did what he needed to do and supported Wilder due to links with PBC.

                    ​​​​​​AJ didn't like it and doesn't have to.
