Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Disagrees With Joshua: Fighting in Overseas a Must!

[Butch.McRae]

More than just about money. America is still symbolic of a boxing having made it. If you're not willing to travel to the land of Ali, Tyson, SRL...legends and the largest English speaking population then you're not a world champion. Ali went to Zaire FFS! AJ has low low aspirations.

Are you saying boxing was started in the U.S.? God, I hope not lol

I hope AJ comes here at some point, but there's no question where he and Wilder could break the bank.

I think that can't be ignored here. Lewis fought in a time where the money was in the US. There's nothing that compares to what I'm seeing out of the British fan base right now. Mayweather was the only comparable. Maybe Canelo v. Chavez will be a mad house? I hope so.

Times change. Larry Holmes fought exclusively in the US

Can you imagine other fighters saying something like that? Even Wiler (everyone's favorite whipping boy) was headed to Russia to defend his own title and he didn't bytch about it one bit.
This just reinforces the whole plastic persona that I'm getting from AJ the longer he's around.

Tank Davis is another one that comes to mind. He just won his title and his first defense will be overseas away from home. What about Frampton coming to the US twice and who knows if he will get 3rd fight at home. Respect for those guys.

I think it's in AJ's best interest to fight overseas too.

Look at your beloved Mayweather. He only fought in Vegas then look at what happened when he went to the UK, they set his **** on fire. Had he spent some time fighting in the UK, none of that would had happened.

You really know how to cut a guy. You bastard.

If Wilder was in here hed call these people crazy "**** that, Im going to the UK to get part of that 40mil"

[The Gambler1981]

I mean if he is going to fight Wilder yea he should probably fight in America once before that to really maximize that event.

If Wilder loses or that fight just doesn't come off I see him fighting in America as less needed. It would be nice and expand his name but there would be no real end goal toward it.

Joshua doesnt need lennox lewis approval where to fight lol...

[SUBZER0ED]

Lennox knows the business. The World Champion dominates the W-O-R-L-D!! He's not afraid to go into someone else's back yard and kick his ass.

[James09]

The fights are shown in other countries any way. But I think it does help with making you a star on the world level, Worked for Lewis, Klitschko and Golovkin. But they had to take a risk to do it. Takes a lot of confidence.

I carry a razor under my tongue and I'll make sure that fl0mo title sticks. Switch your avi to a GGG picture and you'll be a P@ctard instead doe. That's how this place is.
