vitali's a pretty boring guy, wladimir is funny as hell to me, especially in his dealings with haye, and lewis was a pretty boring guy. lewis had way, way more exciting fights than both brothers combined. vitali's most exciting fight was opposite lennox lewis.

Watching Rahman rag doll him at that press conference was pretty funny.

Odd how so many remember him as a humble, scholarly gentleman, when he was nothing of the sort. More like an opportunist who filed nusiance law suits at the drop of a hat and was so aloof(sp) and pretentious that only other equally smug, condescending(sp) Brits could stand to be in the same room with him for more than a handful of minutes.

Lewis got bailed out by the refs and then retired after.

Outboxed every round and would lose 9 out of 10 fights with Vitali.

You're so right. It's a fact Lennox was an arrogant douche! He regualraly referred to himself as "the pugilist specialist" and also referred to himself in the third person. He was always tooting his own horn. Emmanuel Steward used to yell at him for underestimating opponents.

Obviously you have never met or been in the company of Lennox You are talking absolute bullcrap here
Lennox is one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet plus he is the best HW champ since Ali.
Lennox is basically very shy & reserved which gives him the appearance of maybe being aloof. Once he gets to know you he relaxes
Lennox is a humble very intelligent GENTLEMAN

Some people taking this thread the wrong way. I have always openly stated that i rooted for Lewis.

Again im just simply stating to the Lewis/Vit/Wlad hate crowd who complain about them being dull without realizing Lennox was considered fairly dull himself. Some posters get excited these days over shit talking tweets,interviews,youtube vids..etc and this is there idea of bringing excitement into the division.

I'm not taking a single accomplishment away from him.

Get real roflmao Lennox took on Vitali at 10 days notice barely 80% fit yet STILL kicked his ass. You forget that uppercut that nearly decapitated Vitali he didnt know if he was in Vegas or Vladivostok ROFL Even without the cuts Vitali wouldnt have gone 2 more round
Bottom line is sit down be quiet & enjoy your crow pie as the final result was....


LEWIS TKO 6 !!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't just his personality. Lennox was considered a boring fighter even in his heyday.

Just sayin'
Actually, I thought he was a pretty funny guy, and he rarely failed to amuse me.
