    You have a problem with 2 SINGLE black guys from London taking 2 girls back to a hotel and leaving together after having their fun with them?:roll::roll:

    Shock horror, they had more than likely been drinking alcohol too, as Lewis was known to like a lot of Brandy, and Champagne when he decided to go on a session.:rofl:rofl:hi:

    More revisionist garbage, from someone who knows sweet FA about Lewis or simply hates the guy. Either way it is worthless.

    VK himself said he had been keeping in the best possible shape for over a year, because he had been chasing a fight with Lewis which was scheduled for DECEMBER 2003.

    Lewis on the other hand had trained for the useless Kirk Johnson who he expected to treat with the same disdain as he had Rudduck, Grant, and Golota. When Johnson pulled out injured, Lewis agreed to bring the Vitali fight forward 6 months, and fight him in June.

    There were no girls stop making stuff up they looked scared the next morning when the press caught them if they were having Hetero fun as you claim then why look worried ? Where were the girls ? Why have the girls never come forward ? Why were so many phone calls made to try and make sure the story never leaked if it was 'straight' forward fun ?

    Tell Lewis I will drink him under the table anytime he wants a session but tell him to leave the KY jelly at home because paddy man don't get down like that

    Yeah, but who those same " top guys " particularly Tyson were sh it scared to fight him in public because he would take everything they had to offer, and the great Murican public would see that their heroes were nothing like the imbeciles were lead to believe.

    You could also say the same for the Iron chinned Mercer, who you claim Lewis wouldn't rematch, but we didn't see Holyfield falling over himself to rematch Ray either did we?

    So basically you are are impressed by guys who have a short but explosive career, and dismiss longevity. If you are talking about Tyson who was good for 2 years that tells us more about you than it does about the fight game.

    I think it is fair to say that most sensible people would be more impressed by guys that were involved in, and won meaningful fights over a longer period of time, than a guy who got beaten up then KTFO in his prime, and continued to do so every time his opponent didn't freeze.

    Not sure about the last point. He said his loss to McCall was one of the the best things that ever happened to him, because he said you learn more from loosing than you do from winning.

    Because Americans are myopic and want to pretend it is 1954 and that the whole world revolves around their every flatus. They will go to the most extreme of mental and intellectual contortions to preserve the sanctity of this fairy tale.

    Lewis did not fit their precious narrative.

    Not clear on what one means by " universal approval." If it refers to 100% of the population having a positive opinion of someone or something, then I have yet to find such a person, place or thing that has gained such unyielding admiration from everyone.

    10 ) Being a sore loser and being in denial when he lost

    Lewis called it lucky punch, even though he landed a few like them in his career too. ( Bruno )

    When Lewis lost to Rhaman, his interview with Merchant was one in denial. And

    When the Klitschko fight ended, Lewis was on the defensive, and actually grabbed the microphone from a much older Larry Merchant.

    Being a gracious loser as an active fighter was not his thing, and some fans didn't like it. I think the point is valid to some.

    I felt Lewis was a great one in the 1990's, but most in the USA did not. You are correct. The heavyweight championship was something the USA expected.

    When Ring Magazine came out with their top 50 all time heavyweights in 1999, Lewis was criminally under rated at spot #32 Utter BS.

    Fair or not, the impression among the boxing USA fans I know in the 1990's felt that Lewis was a mouthy glass jaw type. You could say they had points on these two issues, but ignored the rest of what he brought to the ring.

    Funny the rest of his fanboys say he was unbeatable from 86 - 88. Have they kicked you out of the club?

    Probably not. Little girls and boys are much more Paddy's style if your priests are anything to go by..:rofl:rofl

    I think you will find both, though single, had girlfriends, Sol Campbell in particular was in a long term relationship with a girl at the time, I believe her name was Janet Tyler, and they had a son. Lewis is also married and has 4 kids with his wife. Pretty unusual for gay guys to breed 4 kids even if it is a marriage of convenience don't you think?

    It is not at all unknown for " celebrities " to leave hotels looking uneasy if they have been " partying " with other women.

    Every race contains pedophiles unfortunately to attempt to generalise it to 1 group is racist. But don't worry I forgive you your ignorance you can't help not being as evolved mentally and physically as me.

    Oh jeez, how pathetic.:roll:

    You are getting slaughtered on the other Lewis thread with your total ignorance of the English language, and your pedantry, so like the kid who wants to take his ball home if things don't go his way, you bring the same sh it to this thread.

    Laughable.:rofl:rofl:rofl
