    There is a massive difference between great showmanship and being a jerk disgrace to the sport. Sugar Ray had great showmanship, the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson derek Chisora etc are just disgraces to the sport. I thought the likes of Lennox Lewis was a lesson to the boxing community in apprecating the skills of a fighter over his antics and persona? Tyson had the persona and the 'swag', Lennox had the skills and the heart of a champion. Actaully come to think of it people did learn. Because if England had a prime Lennox Lewis now(same dull personality and all), the hype on that guy will be surreal. It's sad to see how far boxing have fallen honestly when a midget fighter come flying out to rap songs is now appreciated. How we need a lennox lewis now to save boxing.

      oh and since I read mentions of tommy morrison in this thread, everyone with time please watch on youtube lennox lewis vs tommy morrison. That in my opinion was about as finely toned of a athlete look wise as you can find. I don't think any fighter in the history of boxing looked as nice as the lennox lewis who fought tommy morrison just from a physical standpoint. 250 pounds of pure muscles, 6'5 with the dreadlocks. Lennox literaly looked like a james bond version of 'the predator'. surreal.

        Huck is no midget. Sure he's small compared to the klit bros but they are abnormally tall.

          i was talking about this fight earlier and i think karpency would win. he lasted all 12 rounds against a huge puncher in cleverly while pudwill only lasted 3 rounds against another murderous puncher in calzaghe. karpency's iron chin would see him through the fight en route to a decisive split decision victory.
