    he ripped his face off. this is not a duck in any dictionary except the Book of Klitshko excuses.

    explain, then how does someone older than another person, wait for that person to get older than them.
    this should be good.

    I guess this thread had to be bumped at this particular time of the year, with the TKO6 anniversary and all :yep

    according to the Book of Klitschko.

    Axel Schulz needs to be in here as well. Don't forget one of Lewis's best ever wins is Shannon Briggs, the same Shannon Briggs who made his name by beating Foreman by robbery. Let's not forget Axel Schulz destroyed that same version of Foreman with ease. Axel truly was a top 10 HW from the 90's, a HW Lewis wanted no part of.:deal


    Looking back at Axel Schulz. Is it fair to say he is a top 10 HW's from the 90's?
    Looking at his record it seems so. Schulz he perhaps unfortunately is known for suffering 'The Three way Robbery' during his back to back title fights against Foreman, Botha and Moorer. Luck certainly didn't shine on this old school war horse. Due to his wins over Moorer and Foreman (coming of his best ever win infact) in his career it seems fair to say so. If those two make it into your top then it seems scandalous not to have Schulzy well within. He deffo should be there imo.

    When was Lewis meant to fight him? When Tyson was in prison, or perhaps when Lewis was busy in court trying to enforce his mandatory right to face Tyson next or perhaps when King paid him 4 million dollars so he could fight Seldon instead, only for him to still avoid Lewis by relinquishing the WBC belt and fight Holyfield instead.

    I felt Schulz defeated Foreman, and Botha but was robbed. The Moorer fight I scored 7-5 for Moorer.

    Lennox The Lion Lewis ducked no one. He was the best HW champ since Ali. His two losses were due to himself taking his opponent too lightly and not training properly. As for George Foreman? George himself said same thing I just did George wanted none of Lennox big right hand
