Lennox seems to have taken Wilder under his wing...not a bad mentor to have

    I know they do broadcasts together, which I happen to really enjoy...but I find more and more videos of them hanging out together....
    I haven't really seen the same with Lewis and AJ or Lewis and Fury...
    Does anyone have any insight on the Lewis Wilder bromance?

    Both cocky, arrogant, up their own arses, so naturally they have a lot in common.

    Lewis was hovering about AJ for a spell, but that didn't really work out for whatever reason.

    He was also associated with a number of defeated Klitschko opponents.

    I don't think he's great shakes as a mentor tbh. Still, there are probably worse guys to have a chat with about boxing occasionally.

    Correct, but I've heard him talk about a variety of things, and I see arrogance plain and clear.

    Actually the truth is Lennox is really a very shy guy that is very often mistaken for arrogance

    I am a shy guy as well, so I know the difference - but I mean the way he describes himself, his qualities... his opponents... like when Vitali gave him a good run for his money and then asked for a rematch... Lennox dismissed it as if it was a one-side beating .... "Let him try, I'll just bus' up di other side of his face"

    His says some very arrogant things imo, not his demeanor, the stuff that comes out his mouth.

    I guess that makes Tyson Fury the model for humbleness

    Lewis has had a close relationship with Fury in the past and I believe still does to a degree. Both Wilder & Fury trained with Steward so that's where the connection may have started.

    I think Lennox lacks self-confidence. A bit strange for such an accoplished sportsman, but it's what it is

    Lennox even tried to say he was counted out too quickly against Rahman (as if he could've continued LOL)

    So does that mean he dumped Sol Campbell?

    He maybe does lack-self confidence, I think you're right - he is certainly lacking something mentally/emotionally.

    As for the Rahman thing, yeah tha's what I mean lol examples like that.
