Lewis is accused of being a coward because outside the ring he was a polite British guy. If Lewis had a personality like Mike Tyson or Bernard Hopkins where he was all gangsta and his in ring credentials were identical to what they are now, nobody would accuse him of cowardice.

i accuse him of cowardice because without even thinking, i can name AT LEAST three fighters he blatanly dodged: John The Bum Ruiz, Chris The Duck Byrd, and Vitali Klitschko (rematch).
now, not fighting byrd and ruiz, i can understand. but not giving vitali a rematch like lewis said he would, is mainly why i accuse lewis of being a coward.
VK was cut because of a jagged lace on lewis glove. and VK wasnt the guy who was staggering around the ring, looking like he was either about to get KOd or about to collapse due to exhaustion. even though lewis won the fight and the last two rounds, he had anything but the look of a winner (being blank eyed, open-mouthed, and wobbly).
3rd most title defenses in history? dont you mean in HW history?
winning a gold medal doesnt mean **** anymore. vassiliy jirov won a gold medal, look at his career.
and who are these sources who had the fight even? are they ppl you just made up just so you can say they were sources?
christ, im not saying my respect is mandatory, but he only needs to have one more match (with vitali klitschko) if people want me to stop ranting about lewis.
Vitali was cut because of lace? hahaha
Like I said before you wanna count all the cuts on Vitali's face?
yeah that was done by lace
Sourses? The USA Today had Lewis up 4-2 and the AP had it even. The fight was nowhere near as one sided as you try and make it out to be. Lewis was rocked in round 2 and no other rounds.
Yes winning a Gold Medal is huge in boxing and for you to say it isn't shows your lack of Knowledge. Winning a Gold Medal means even more when you win it against another great amature like Ri**** Bowe.
and make no mistake Jirov was a hell of a fighter until James Toney ruined him in one of the greatest fights you will evenr see.

Your actually acusing him of ducking John Ruiz and Chris Byrd?
You do know he chose to fight Mical Grant instead of Ruiz right? Grant at the time was thought to be the heir apparent to Lewis while all Ruiz had done at that point was be knocked out in 19 secons by David Tua.
Lewis chose to fight Mike Tyson in the most aticpated heavyweight fight in ages instead of Byrd.
but yeah your right eh should have fought Byrd and Ruiz instread huh.

Nobody cares if you respect a fighter or no kid.
if USA today had it even, then the USA today should be destroyed for THEIR lack of knowledge. 4-2 lewis? dont be ******.
like i said, i think it was bozo no no who told me about the lace...
name as many fighters as you can who won gold medals in the last 10-15 years. trust me, with as many ppl winning gold medals, the medal has become a cliche.
and the jirov/toney fight was good, but it wasnt one of the best ill ever see.

*rolleyes* Yeah **** thoser guys at USA today what the hell do they know.
I think its funny your going by what someone tolsd you instead of forming your own opnion.
The same number tha have won Godl Medal for that last 20 years. There is a Gold Medal winner in every weight. The Gold medal means alot in boxing and to say it doesn't just shows your lack of knowledge. A great amature career is in most aces the foundation for your pro career.
Just ask "The Golden Boy" what a Gold Medal can do for your carerr.
