    Heavyweight champion, not a title holder.

    Yeah, he was classy, but don't rile him up either!

    A credit to the human race.

    Basically he did since his condition was met not to mention multiple demands and str8 up attempt at a duck while holding on to the title.

    So in reality, no contracts were signed and no promises were made. He simply said the answer his fans wanted to hear. Which fighter would say NO, I don't want to give the rematch!

    Why should there be a rematch? It was a TKO6

    Maybe if Mike hadnt raped that girl,then they may have fought sooner.

    Lennox didnt go pro until 1989,according to some on this site,Tyson was already past prime then.

    Then he paid Lewis to step aside to fight Holyfield, and then he got banned for biting Holyfields ear.

    You can hardly blame Lewis for all that!

    Frank Bruno beats Lewis on these counts. Oleg Maskaev was a really decent guy too.

    I don't think Lewis is more humble than Wlad, but I agree Lewis is a likeable guy. It's only his bitterness when it comes to the Klitschkos that puts me off a bit. He always has something negative to say about them, and that's when he isn't giving fighters advice on how to beat them

    As far as beltholders go, Bruno is definitely one of the most likeable ever
