Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Joshua Can Be Great - But Not Better Than Me

[yoz]

Why all the hate?

Champs, active and in retirement, are arrogant.


Needless to say, I agree with Lennox.

Lewis is right!

Lewis was a huge powerful, quick guy with great boxing ability. One of the best of all time.

[Willy Wanker]

To be fair, Joshua doesn't have a talented heavyweight division to build his resume with like Lewis had.

Joshua also doesn't have the skillset and ring IQ Lewis had.

So I agree with Lewis' comments, as arrogant as they might seem.

Josh may not have skill set.
But if he beats everyone now that is a few nice wins.
Over next 10 years some great heavyweights might come asking that Josh beats.
So josh could become as greast or greater

Vitali bi*ched out against Chris Byrd when shutting him out on the scorecards. He quit like a coward. He also bi*ched out of a fight with Haye after he said if he beat Chisora they would fight. He retired instead like a little a coward...

Vitali was then in his 40's, difference between quitting in your prime and quitting when you're starting to legit slowdown, but how would I expect someone like you tp understand I doubt you've ever seen the inside of a god damn gym.

He's right.

Joshua is in shape and looks like a big tank, but just look at him shadow box and you'll see he's a big stiff. He mostly uses his freakish athleticism, people hate on Wilder but they're not much different.

Just noticed but Lennox left hook seemed to ko Rahman and not right?

Vitali & his Tina Turner ring entrance music. You truly are dedicated to him. I guess I might as well

Haha, yes. You noticed. First time for that song was against Kirk Johnson I believe. Hahaaaa

38 is prime? The only gym I know is Jim & he has a full stash of cold beer in his garage but I wouldn't expect you to understand with an avatar like you have.

That's true, well done Lennox. Can you imagine rahman having win over Lennox and Lennox not avenging it? Doiesnt bear thinking.

What Lennox has going for him he's avenged every loss. Lennox didn't give vitali opportunity.

Sure I would have loved to seen a rematch but the bottom line is he gave Vitali a voluntary shot at his title on short notice & he beat him. It doesn't matter if Vitali was winning on the cards his face got busted up to the point where the ref stopped the fight. He lost & Lennox owed him nothing. Lennox was the champion & didn't owe him a title shot but he gave him one anyway. Vitali didn't get it done. Maybe if he didn't get hit & his face wasn't cut up the result could of been different but it is what it is. You can bet there was a rematch clause in the contract if Lennox lost but he didn't need to use it. He went out on top & he dodged a bullet. He went out on his own terms as champion & he was obviously ready to sail into the sunset.
