Have you ever met Lennox ? Have you been in his company a while? Obviously not because Lennox is one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet. You say he's arrogant and aloof?? The truth is Lennox is very shy & it takes a while for him to warm to you. Actually Ali was also very shy & reserved away from the cameras too Wlad & Vitali are just pompous pricks The only reason they have a career is because Lennox retired.
He was entitled to complain about being robbed Lennox kicked Vanders ass & got SCREWED!!!! Eugenia Williams wasn't booted out of boxing for her ludicrous scorecard or that O Conner twit. I think she STILL!! judges but she goes by Gene Williams now
Have you ever met Wlad and Vitali? Have you been in their company for a while? Obviously not because Wlad and Vitali are two of the nicest guys you could ever meet...... You see what I did there.
Yeah you copied my post like a pet parrot lol Actually I have met Wlad and Vitali right after Lennox nearly took Vitali's face off Vitali was the one crying and bitching about losing Wlad was just trying to stay away from Lennox he was terriofied LOL Neither were very nice then
It's not called being terrified it's called having a bit of class. Plus it was Lennox who was stuttering when Vitali was raging about a rematch, hence why Lewis's bodyguards raced in acting like idiots. The facts are; Lewis won the fight. The ending was unsatisfactory. There should have been a rematch, one man wanted it the other retired.
atsch He was trained under Manny Steward who he respected immensley and has said that Lennox Lewis is one of his idols. When has he ever done anything to make you think he is a racist?
Put yourself in Lennox place for a minute. He did what no other champion had done before He took on his #1 contender on a few days notice after barely training for what he considered a warm up against Kirk Johnsonj. He risked his title when barely 80 % ready yet BEAT Vitali legitimately His lovely wife Violet & his Mom had been begging him to retire for months. He'd beaten every man that faced him in the pro ring . He had no reason to go on. He beat Vitali when not in top shape. Wlad ducked out of sight & never challenged Lennox like Vitali did to to the golfer p-art time fighter that Ko'd Wlad. There was no one else to challenge him as Ike Ibeabuchi was incarcerated. He retired a happy contented very rich man & has no intention of ever coming back. Lennox did exactly the right thing
Lennox was one of my favorite Heavyweights ever.. But he was arrogant, I would say Wlad is more humble. Not nearly as bad as a Jones Jr or Mayweather, Lennox was more laid back for sure, but the ****iness was there.
Both Lennox & Wlad owe an enormous amount to the late great Emmanuel Steward. He improved both fighters immensely. One of the all time greatest trainers
And I'm just saying he was never arrogant He was one of boxings genuine good guys The best HW champ since Ali
