Lennox Lewis

[Dirk Diggler UK]

And the ref started counting at 2 while Douglas had been on the canvas 5 seconds.

Understand?

It is clear as day that Douglas was down over 10 seconds, from the video YOU posted.

Douglas' head was also clear as day so he would've gotten up had the count been picked up quicker.

Understand?

He owes a lot to Canada but he's not Canadian at all.

"After winning the super heavyweight gold medal for Canada at the 1988 Olympics, he returned to the England of his youth—some said to exploit a market hungry for a heavyweight champion. In fact, says Lewis, who holds dual citizenship, he has affection for both countries. "I love Canada. And England, too. My roots are here," he says."

He's a dual citizen,which means he's as much Canadian as he is English. Sorry if that bothers you.

It doesnt bother me. I could get dual citizenship in China but it wont make me a Chinaman.

Snap!

Best piece of logic you've used in this thread.

[Chunk..]

Another fact is that Lummox was KTFO by clubfighters. Remember that when comparing him to true greats.

Lennox isn't a true great?

He also showed his balls by NOT giving Vitali a rematch despite that fight actually being controversial, which wasn't the case for Rahman and McCall since those fights saw Lummox KTFO.

it doesnt really matter that he was knocked out, there have been plenty of great fighters that have been knocked out. the important thing is that he came back strong afterwards, thats what great fighters do. i dont know what past greats he would have beaten and which ones he wouldnt have but he was a great fighter, i cant see how anybody would deny that.

He won a gold medal in the Olympics for Canada, not England. I don't blame him for fighting pro out of the UK because Canada isn't a big boxing hotbed, except for Quebec. But I have relatives in Kitchener who went to school with Lennox and still see him socially. You can believe what you want, but Lennox sees himself as a Canadian as much as he does English. His most important formative years as a person and as a boxer were in Kitchener.

Either way, Vitali retired his ass.

The first fight proved that Lewis didnt take it seriously enough. The second fight just confirmed that fact. In the biggest fights of his career, Lennox always delivered.

So those two fights where he lost his title(s) weren't big fights?

The first fights proved Lennox's chin was pure glass. The second fights he simply beat guys he never should've lost to in the first place (if he was truly as good as you claim.)

Douglas' head was also clear as day so he would've gotten up had the count been picked up quicker.

Understand?

That is your opinion.

Exactly, the second fight proved that he was KTFO'd by a bum!
