oh okay, I see where youre coming from with that. I guess I just chalked all that up to being upset about losing. And, you could say he was right, in a way, about lucky punch, since he got his revenge both times. But, all that aside, he shouldnt have belittled his opponets...that I definately agree with. The sport is just too dangerous and way too much can happen for that kind of attitude.Originally posted by KimmyWhat it was i think is Lewis' refusal to give credit to his opponent, even after losing. When Rahman and mcCall beat him he screamed luckly punch etc... This took away the credit attained from his victors and people were pissed over it. He called Rahman
`Has-been` and after beating Klitscko claimed Klit was on the way out anyway. These comments people may agree with but it was the inflection in Lewis' voice, like any praise he may bestow was forced and only done because it was good manners to do so.
People couldn't relate to him. He refused to accept fault for his losses and the fans caught on to this and unfortunately for him probably effected his standing as an all time great.Comment

Yes, i am happy for Lewis' sake he wasn`t involved in a ring fatality ( his opponent ). I don`t know how lewis would hve haddled it, no one will ever i guess, but if lewis had have adopted his usual attitude it could have ruined his appeal had he ignored a tradgic occurance over his victory celebration!Originally posted by tracyleeoh okay, I see where youre coming from with that.

Naturally, as a big fan, I'd like to believe it'd have an enormous impact on him....if only because of his relegious beliefs, and the fact that it was because of him. Like you said, we'll never know, and I'm glad of that. Any fighter dying because of the time in the ring is tragic...I dont think I could ever fight again if I was in that situation.Originally posted by KimmyYes, i am happy for Lewis' sake he wasn`t involved in a ring fatality ( his opponent ).

Well.....on a moral biasis, one could argue that if a fighter died in the ring, the opponent inflicting the lethal blows is not to blame as both are fully aware of the risks involved. However, why should one man die and another lose his career?Originally posted by tracyleeNaturally, as a big fan, I'd like to believe it'd have an enormous impact on him....if only because of his relegious beliefs, and the fact that it was because of him.

Juesus Chavez is a case in point. Chavez is world champ but because of his fight with Johnston people arr more concerned with his ring temperment after his last fight than his defending the title. A taboo subject certainly. Its all down to the individual fighter but my point stands. lennox Lewis i think would be prone to inflating his ego and thank God his career passed without major incident!Comment

Both are aware of the dangers, so neither is to blame if they fought clean..but the hell of having to live with that, it would be too much for me I think.Originally posted by KimmyWell.....on a moral biasis, one could argue that if a fighter died in the ring, the opponent inflicting the lethal blows is not to blame as both are fully aware of the risks involved.
