Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Shreds Klitschkos' Opponent, Heavyweights

[edgarg]

Lennox Lewis was one of the most boring heavyweights to watch.

You can say that again, and without any obvious skill except hiding behind his long arms and cautiously moving around. You should have seen the Mavrovic fight, the Tua fight, and quite few others. His early fights were far more action filled. As he began to make real money his action slowed to a crawl. Klitschko took him out of that crawl in Lewis' last fight. He was chased out of boxing. There is loads of evidence to that.

He announced his retirement after dodging the bullet for nearly a year, on the very morning that he was to have been stripped for not fighting Klitschko.

A poor sport, jealous and envious of the Klitschkos' reputations. Maybe he should find another Klitschko future opponent that he can call up and tell how to beat the Klitschkos. He did that for every Klitschko opponent after he retired, he was so jealous. They all failed of course which made him feel worse. And he seems not to have got over it yet.

I know. Fighters like Tua, Grant, Ruddock, Golota, Briggs, Mercer etc. Damn him!

That's nothing special.

Mercer was probably the most accomplished overall and Wlad knocked that dude out as well. Something no one else did before. Top it off Shannon Briggs got knocked the **** out like 3 or 4 fights before he faced Lewis.

lewis actually vacated a title instead of wasting his time with ruiz. chris byrd would have been destroyed in a few rounds...

I thought he vacated it because of Chris Byrd, I stand corrected. Byrd was knocking off all the big heavyweights at that time though, and was a difficult as blazes to fight.

I didn't know Vitali was McCall??



IS TK06 a lie???



Didn't Lewis TKO your boy Klit?



This is exactly what you don't seem to understand. People like Jabs, Poet, myself, Joe Strong etc don't have a problem with the Klits themselves and who they fight. It's the Klit nuthuggers who overrate their wins against average fighters, denial that their demigod got beat conculsively by Lewis and crowing about winning so many rounds against mediocre opponents.



What great..... sorry, what good in prime fighters have the Klits beaten??

Look at you moron. Your logic is to beat an ATG even if he's old to make you an ATG like TYson with Holmes.

Dont know why they still are boxing they are the best wont fight each other rch beyond their dreams and yet they stay to fight who?they are just padding their resumes like crazy and no real quality opponents left so why stay i dont get it

Don't guys understand that they are in the boxing BUSINESS. They make their living from their business. The keep up their many charities from their business so why shouldn't they be still fighting.

Green K given to Lewis.

He is 100% correct on all counts.

Takes Lewis to point out the obvious, he's an expert at it, and has long ago become a joke.

What was the name of that fella Lewis retired to get away from? Bob ... something.

Lennox may have started something: someone should up the $100 million
for a rematch with Vitali--winner getting 60%. That would be a great fight.

I think Lennox would win. Then he could fight the younger brother and knock him out, too!

Where's the billionaire boxing fans when you need them? There's loads of them wasting money on football teams but none willing to splash the cash on boxing.

Lewis wants $100 million guarantee for himself not to split.
