    How can you claim Lennox fought weak contenders and not imply it?

    How can you even begin to compare the TWO to ONE and not imply it?
    Now I claim that Lennox fught weak contenders too? Holy **** your BS just keeps piling up

    But of course, still no evidence, because you don't have any

        Isn't the ABOVE what you said, in response to my comment that "You can argue that Lennox Lewis dominated a weak division.."?

        Yeah, that's YOUR name on top.

        Clown.

          So do you think that hopkins would be as popular in the states as he is now if he was from the uk?

          Do you think hopkins is an exciting fighter and is regarded as an exciting fighter in general?

            Name me some American boxing superstars who aren't from the Eastern world besides Pacman.
            How would me naming American stars prove anything in your favor? You have stated that the Klitschko's weren't popular in the US because of their background, right?

            So what is your point? That Americans don't like anyone?

              I don't think Hopkins is very popular, for starters. Yes, he is a name but he's not a PPV attraction and his HBO #'s haven't been impressive in a long time.

              Two, I don't think he's exciting and I don't think he's regarded as exciting.

                  That's interesting. Why do you think that is the case? As compared to heavyweights of the past 20 years?

                    Cuz Americans were fighting other Americans back then and calling themselves World champs?

                    We don't know how many HWs of the past 20 years will make it into the HOF.

                      Can't argue with that.
