I think Lewis would be far more aggressive with Peter as he would pose less of a threat with his limited skill set. Lewis probably could have stopped Tua had he not been so cautious. You can forgive being cautious against that version of Tua though. Not sure i could ever forgive Lewis had he been that cautious with fighters like Ibragimov or the 36 year old Rahman though
Still think 28 year old Rahman is better than all 3 of those... especially Peter. I'd favour Lennox to knock Peter out tomorrow... Haye's chin would get shattered if Lewis landed anything on it.... Ibragimov... using the tactics he used against Wlad would probably get stopped even against that version of Lewis. sitting on the ropes not throwing punches isn't going to beat even the worst version of Lewis
i think lewis would have shown peter some respect in there. peter had very good power and a very good chin. and like tua , peter would have been hesitant to go in after feeling lewis power. hence why i think it'd be a lopsided decision. no sense in lewis risking it too much when he's easily winning and peter (like tua) would be hesitant to go in so recklessly after feeling lewis power. rahman we already saw what lewis did to prime rahman in the rematch. as for ibragimov , lewis would have destroyed him. too small and not a power threat like others lewis fought.
Klitschkos fight in Europe most of the time unlike Lewis. It's not convinient for HBO PPV. Besides, Lewis had the chance to fight established American fighters. Klitschkos destroy them before they build public admiration, Earl!
HBO show thrash boxing nowadays. DLH tells them what to show. He controls the market for Hispanics are the most devoted boxing fans. Therefore HBO is full of those kind of fighters. Whch Mexican will order a Klitschko fight? It is business. It isn't about who is a bigger fighter. It is about fan base in the states. Ever wonder how many Mexican get on German or European TV? No one cares about watching lightweights in Europe.
Maybe not so much jealous as begrudging. No successful fighter wants to be succeeded by other successful fighters. I think it's human nature. I think the same pretty much holds true for many retired fighters though. I mean, they may not fight in the ring anymore, but they're still fighting, in their minds. When they watch their successors on TV, do they wish they were still fighting? Do they imagine competing against these guys? I'd bet so, yes. I don't see Lewis being any different. Lewis and Vitali also have a bit of history. Even Lewis and Wlad do, if you take any stock in the phone call Lewis made to Sanders.
To be honest, you're way off the mark. People want to see great fighters in action, as long as they're entertaining. I don't think nationality or ethnicity plays that big a role.
With the exception of Tua, who his left hook had a deserved reputation as instant ko if it hit you, Lewis wasn't that respectful to punchers, in fact he tried to get most of them out of there early What makes you think Peter does better than Ruddock, Golota, Grant, morrison, rahman 2, Briggs etc, because i'd group him in that category, not with Tua
Im getting bored of vladmir23 and his alts now. Was funny about 2 months ago but recently its all I see on here!
Lewis might be mildly jealous of Klitmans bed action with that Heroes tv show chick, other than that, he dont care. Oh man, its a good ting shes an indestructable cheerleader- all that time with that monster on top of her.
