I've always thought he had a phony accent. But tracylee is right about how lots of other fighters are very arrogant, so the fact that Lewis is should come as no surprise. And the man can sure as hell fight.
I guess if RJJ can pretend he's a rapper, than Lennox can pretend he's a full-blooded Brit . Point taken.
i always thought that lennox would'nt stay gone for good. he said he wanted to go out on top and he did but people always talk **** about it. ill think he'll comeback to prove himself. i hope he does.
Lewis was born in London and says he is British. Good enough for me. I was born in London and I don't have a full ****ney accent because my parents are Scottish. Might not sound it but I'm still from London.
I'm just annoyed that his British-ness comes out in spades whenever it will get him attention from the British media. He doesn't speak this way when he's talking to reporters over here (at least not in Canadian local papers). His accent sounds ridiculously phoney sometimes...he didn't sound that way when he was an amateur here, but suddenly when he became a pro he "developed" this accent.
Probably this isn't that big a deal...I'm not super-patriot Canadian or anything...just sort of irks me.
