    Lennox Lewis is not doing this for attention. Lennox has spoken many times about how he idolized Ali, so to him this would be a priviledge. I'm surprised Foreman is not doing it, but maybe Lennox and Ali's family got on together a lot behind the scenes.

    I don't see why people are moaning about lennox and not Will Smith. Yeah, Will Smith acted as Ali and did a really good job, but at the end of the day, lennox is the last undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and is one of the greatest heavyweights.

    In all likelihood, this.

    I imagine they picked the pallbearers based on people Ali and his family were close to in life and not his proffesion.

    Apparently Ali planned his funeral years ago and these were his choices so who are you to question his choices?

    Lennox has stated many many times that Muhammad Ali was his idol both in & out of the ring They'd become great friends.
    Im sure Lennox was honoured to be a pall bearer & he didn't have to gatecrash the ceremony at all

    For **** sake its not a lottery , winner gets to carry , Pall bearers would be picked by the familly based on how close they were to Ali ,,
