    Now it's the second. And you haven't debated what I said or added anything of note to it.

    i was wondering why you hate lennox lewis so much, and then i realised it had more to do with your love of german and eastern european fighters which actually drives your hatred.
    that and the fact that you sometimes just get really angry online, and for no good reason (there never is online).
    your view gets REALLY distorted when you get upset (not for the first time).

    in this post above you refer to lewis 'ducking' 7 times, ridicule him with a 'quack' 3 times and call him a 'bum' twice, but when it comes to sven ottke, you laud him with praise, say that andre ward didn't achieve as much as he did, and make excuses as to why he never fought calzaghe and kessler.

    you're not going to be very credible if you keep letting your emotions turn you into a walking contradiction.

    Same with Jurgen etc when it comes to Fury/Matchroom.

    Absolutely slating the latter for fun, but praise for the former. Some serious agendas on this forum.

    I had voted that he is not overrated.
    Cos he at least fights really more often than a lot ppl in HW division.

    if people could just not get emotionally involved when they post, then their bias wouldn't be so distorted.
    but this guy (surrix), he absolutely takes it personal and to heart because he can't get his emotions out of it, and all it achieves is he leaves himself wide open to ridicule.

    I can't agree with Arum's rationale as the the Ruiz fight is an outlier until it happens again & the preponderance of evidence shows he's a quality HW.

    If anything, he's underrated in the grand scheme of things, as he (and Fury at that) rarely appear on top 10 p4p lists.

    Joshua has a great resume.

    Whyte, Takam, Parker, Povetkin and Brezeale are all elite heavyweights.

    LOL None of them are elite heavyweights and Breazeale is a journeyman. But even a resume consisting of 41 year old Klitschko, wild swinging Whyte, old Povetkin, and old Pulev is at least equal to if not slightly better than a resume consisting of 39 year old Klitschko, low iq Wilder, and Chisora and if Joshua beats Usyk his resume gets another boost

    And that's stalking how? Get a grip, and evict Tyson Fury from your mind. He doesn't seem to be paying rent.

    My point was only that Fury "could" best Lewis. Jesus bud you need to calm down a bit, and stop acting like Lewis is an undefeatable God.

    He's obviously not undefeatable but you're the one who quoted me saying Fury could "absolutely" beat Lewis. You know what absolutely means right ? I do not see how Fury could absolutely beat a prime Lewis. The evidence is pretty scant.

    This is what i meant when i said Fury fans don't stay in their place. Fury could beat him and Fury isn't an easy night for anyone but i don't see the him absolutely beating a prime Lewis or the H2H nightmare stuff surrounding Fury when his resume is Riddick Bowe tier

    To be fair Lewis never fought anyone like Fury, so nobody could really say how that would go down. I'd give Fury a solid chance however. That's not taking anything away from Lewis, so don't take it so personally.
