Comments Thread For: Hearn Rips 'Geezer' Lennox Lewis For 'Talking ****' on Joshua

[apollocreed]

One of the greatest "Geezers" of all time and AJ wouldn't last 6 Rounds with PRIME LENNOX!

Brits have just the most SH#T and outdated Insults Ever "Geezer" "Yanks"

Don't get upset at Lennox for not lowering the bar for AJ, as a All Time Great Heavyweight Lennox is suppose to have high standards for Heavyweights

STFU Eddie and show some respect to a boxing legend/ICON something you will NEVER BE no matter how much you run your mouth

Geezer isn't an insult. It's like saying dude.

Not easy making fights as lennox Lewis will attest, he never got to fight his greatest rival Ri**** Bowe, and only fought Tyson in his 2nd from last fight. Lennox was the first of the big heavy weights with Emmanuel Steward who taught him to use his size, later perfected with W Klitschko. Though when fighting other big heavies in height who are good as well, that size advantage quickly disappears, as in his last fight v VK. Though given the short notice of a new opponent this was probably Lewis best win against a young big strong VK. My points being Wilder, Fury and AJ will beat most heavies quite easily as they are really Super Heavies in size, hence why they are not so willing to fight each other unless the deal is right for them. AJ was a HW Champ with 16 fights in, Lewis at 23 fights in; Lewis did not fight Holyfield until his 36th fight and Tyson his 43rd and as stated never fought Bowe, so why was Lewis not fighting them earlier in his career. AJ has 22 fights so compared to Lewis he has every right to take his time fighting Fury or Wilder, just as Lewis was not fighting Holyfield, Bowe or Tyson when he had 22 fights in. I am sure Lewis did try to fight them earlier and the evidence is there, but maybe the money was not there, the fight was not big enough to risk a loss to lewis so he could not fight them until much later. Give AJ time these fights will happen when all parties are ready..

In America that's like saying an old man or an old fool.

this is the problem with Americans not being able to speak English

[Jax teller]

The fact that you believe Hearn says a lot. Carry on.

You just took something Hearn said as a fact to back your point, I'm merely pointing out the rest of this article you're taking as fact to provide context to all the people that don't know it . I don't know why you would choose to leave it out/ miss-quote it.

Hmmmm. I guess it is one of those translation things. Like fanny

informal
1 British A man.
‘he strikes me as a decent geezer’


2 North American derogatory An old man.

That’s straight from Oxford.

Josh is probably a little upset Lewis critical of him as Lewis is his idol. Josh is just amazed Lewis knows who he is and mentions his name kind ofe thing.?
But Josh has bitten his own hi s own tongue and instructed Hearn to speak on behalf

[j.razor]

HEarn and his people, his ilk, are just an emotional bunch who throw tantrums when Americans or anyone else doesn’t just accept whatever he says. We have seen thisnis from day one with his dazn promises of signing PBC fighters. Lewis called Joshua and Hearn out and Hearn has responded with a figurative “how dare you not support a fellow British fighter even when we’re wrong.” Lewis is clearly his own man and is 10 times the heavyweight champ Joshua will ever be

This is true ^

[j.razor]

Hearn is totally correct. Lewis was a great fighter but he is a terrible commentator, a shill for PBC and a total idiot.

He's just mad cuz a great fighter pulled hearn's skirt up.

[j.razor]

He's talking like an idiot because his words are aimed at idiots.

Read the comments in this thread and you will see what I mean.

You are just like eddie….LMMFAO!

I remember Lewis turning down AJ to become his manager and trainer. He didn't in his wildest dreams think it would turn out like this. And imagine your own manager sabotage your career ? I mean would any HW trust that guy who is known as a rat behind the scenes and wishes anyone ill will if his own legacy is in competition to what he did. AJ lucked out on a bad decision by Lewis and got a real trainer and promoter team . Lewis a bitter old man these days.

Doesn't get away from the fact that Aj & his team are scared to fight D.Wilder or even King Kong.
