    Huge man-love for Tyson I see.

    Why is it that most Tyson fanatics seem to have a hate on for Lewis?

    can't you like both fighters?

    Or does that stretch your intellectual and emotional capacity a little too much?

    Careerwise, Lewis' timing was good.

    He entered and exited the pros at exactly the right time.

    If not for two sloppily prepared off-nights, there'd be debates on here as to which of Ali or Lennox was the GOAT.

    A Lewis who was young was always dangerous..ironically like the same way Wlad was,they both were offensive machines..i go by video footage and that never lies...I think lewis is one of the most dangerous fighters ever,thats mt opinion,but I can see others and maybe even beating him,but again lewis always measured his competition,unlike the whirlwind Tyson he fought to his opponents pace mostly.I don't put him over Tyson but hes in my top 5 for sure,and depending on wlads performance with Fury well...it makes for great comparisons at least for me.

    And how many amatuers with great/good records have you sparred? As usual you are wrong on about every level..you learn the ins and outs as the little subtleties ,you wouldn't know that,this is why many amateur fighters with long careers as amateurs were good and difficult to fight or win against..not everything rotates around a pro,its the "LITTLE" stuff that counts 'MOST" of the time that makes a better fighter,there are exceptions but that's why they are called exceptions.:patsch



    Lewis wouldn't have been better going pro ats fast his style would have just clashed with the many tall decent boxers of the 'TYSON" era!:smoke

    I've probably had tougher sparring in my local pub than you have had in the ring....

    The reasons why a good percentage of great amatuers make great pro's is because they are, wait for it...... Great fighters. Of course you wouldn't know that....

    Lewis is / was too clever to be " rushed " into anything against his will, and that was ALWAYS the case from the day he arrived back in the UK from Canada.

    That doesn't even mean anything,just another RANDOM dumb post on your part....skill is something that is learned,therafter its up to the fighter from there how great he becomes!

    If you "SPARED" as well as you post its safe to say you lost all of them!:lol:



    Im a pretty good judgement in how I perceive people and im guessing you are around 15 years old anyway if not the mentality of one,this would explain MANY things about you like why according to you Valuev knocks out Mike Tyson!:smooch

    Why do you insist on making yourself look an idiot when you try to put people down with your childish spelling?

    Oh, and you are the moron who equates size with ability, hence the reason you write such sh it about the Klitchko brothers.
