    Lennox was hated by boxing media far more than he was by American Fans. I was a HUGE Lennox Lewis fan even over American Fighters. Rooted for him vs Tyson, Holyfield, Michael Grant it really wasn't a factor for MOST FANS. However the Jim Lampley's and Larry Merchant's of the world HATED HIM! You can go back and watch the HBO Broadcast and hear the negative undertone towards Lennox Lewis

    You Brits are trying way too hard to make US vs UK a Rivalry when it is not one. No other country embrace Foreigners like America especially when it comes to Athletes and ACTORS. Proof of that is Tyson Fury most recently who I would say been accepted with Open Arms here in the US because of his Big Personality

    Stop going by this forum thinking everybody thinks like you because when you attend boxing events in person you see that most people are NOT like the Trolling Fools on the Internet. You would think all Brits love Eddie Hearn if you're on this forum but he is actually HATED and gets booed out of the building at his own events every time they put his face on the screen

    It is about the fighter and his style for me, I don't give a sh#t which country they're from

      Americans are pretty triggered that boxing is much more diverse now. Kind of like Trump supporters fearing 'the good old days' are over. Much the same in the attitude of a lot of Americans who lash out and make up excuses . That entitlement and when they feel something they are owed is taken away ...makes for some pretty unstable people.
