    Lennox Lewis: "Wladimir is going to be the King"

    This is for some of you people bitching about Lewis and how he was Arrogant.

    I just saw this video on ESPN, They had a Interview with Lennox Lewis talking about how boxing relates to chess and how he got interested in it...etc

    This is what he said in the interview:

    Interviewer: "You have been King of the boxing world for a while, who else right now would you say is the King?"

    Lewis: "Wladimir Klitschko is very good and I think he will become the King soon."

    Interviewer: "I heard there were some people that said you were that somebody that could have brought boxing back if you unretired, to the way it was, do you think there is somebody out there now who can do that, maybe Wladimir?

    Lewis: "Yeah absolutely, hes got a great style, a good personality and you know hes a good person so I think he is going to Up with boxing in a good way, specially in a european stand point of view."

    Interviewer: "To what it was in the hayday? Can he go back to that to the Muhammad Ali days?"

    Lewis: (Smiling) " Uh...Maybe not..I mean there is only one Muhammad Ali...

    Interview: (Interupts) "Thats true!

    Lewis: "You know everybody has to make their own foot steps and create their own person in boxing.

    Lewis's arrogance was the arrogance of a champion. Not some ****y thug type.

      It sucks, because I always wanted to see Lewis v.s. W Klitschko back in the day. The fight would have been compelling.

      It's not like Lennox would exactly be fighting a Michael Grant.

            Coming from a former top fighter himself, there's no reason why anybody would not respect that statement.

            I have no problem with WLAD becoming the king. But he has to earn it. He's got to fight the best and the most deserving oppositions out there,

              ...That's pretty much what he said on HBO. It's good to hear it for a Wlad fan but I'm not that surprised.

                You cant become king of the HW if you lack a strong chin. I have respect for his boxing skills but hey just my honest opinion

                    He was never going to take Lewis' punches, man. Lesser fighters than Lennox Lewis have knocked him silly.
