    I stand by what I said completely, you 2 are making it something it's not.

    This is the WORST competition he fought, remember.

    Quite comparable to the same level of opponents as Mavrovic and Fortune at the very least are they not?

    I think you exaggerate Lewis' quality of opposition.

      K2 are terrible businessman, they never even had the decency to reimburse Chisora after 2 cancelled fights and training camps. Don't be fooled by the gentle-manlike exterior

        Yes Mavrovic was nothing special - we've established that. But even he was a reigning European champion for years.

        Lol at bringing up Fortune - that wasn't a title fight and he'd just been knocked out.

        But it's cute you have to go back to 1995 to bring up such a shyt name on Lewis resume. Wlad fights bums 2/3 times.

          Yeah but it's ok since it's Wlad who did it.

          Both Wlad and Vitali have pulled out of their fair share of fights, yet that doesn't seem to get mentioned.

            Ok then what about Akinwande, Shannon Briggs or Francois Botha? They aren't particularly special!

            Don't tell me Briggs is far ahead of these guys because he isn't really.

            I'm not claiming these guys are great but they're much better than your making out. You don't go unbeaten that long or win titles in the lower division if your not good.

                Akinwande was the WBO champion (shyt belt), former EBU champion, and I believe was made because Holyfield was tied up in another fight. As shyt as Akinwande was, his record still craps all over Pianeta's.

                Briggs had just "beaten" (run from) George Foreman and was Lineal heavyweight champion. If he was bad then, what does that say for when Vitali fought him a good 13 years later?

                Botha had challenged for the title, and fought good guys like Tyson, Moorer and Briggs and had just beaten Steve Pannell - the guy who put Wladimir Klitschko down.

                Also, Lewis knocked him out in 2 rounds, two years later it took Wlad 8 rounds to do the job.

                Next.

                    Yeah, they are terrible, that's why they are multi millionaires after retiring from the sport and continue to make millions outside boxing. Terrible, terrible businessmen...

                      Briggs was more experienced and heavier against VK and even though VK took longer he completely shut out and busted him up. LL struggled with Briggs a bit.

                      And so what if WK took longer for any opponent, we can agree that Lewis is a faster finisher.

                      The point is you overrate some of Lennox's opponents.

                      You can only highlight WK's worst opponents who have never been beaten besides WK or Mormeck, a champion CW. **** me, Wlad even claimed Mormeck was better than Tyson! Now I am not claiming anything like that am I.
