    I refuse to read any more of your posts on Lewis unless you use the phrases

    "Ham 'n Eggers" :bart



    That's my personal favourite.

    Much better. Even though I have completely the opposite view to you, I don't get why people go so beserker over it.

    I mean, it's obvious Lewis is better than Holyfield and Tyson. Put together. On his worst, fat, undertrained day at altitutude.

    So where's the problem? :D

    Zakman continually excuses Holyfield and others by whingeing it was not their primes. When the hell was there primes? Did everyone blink and it was gone.

    It seems that Lewis was prime and in the mix for years yet these guys trundled around the same period, were roughly the same age, were beaten by Lewis decisively yet they were better?

    Holyfield is still trundling around the better part of a decade after his prime according to Zakman.

    Nothing bogus at all. Riddick Bowe was scared shitless of Lennox Lewis since he kicked his ass in the olympic final. Rock Newman knew if he put Bowe in with Lewis his golden goose was dead.
    Lewis always had Tysons # from the time they sparred together as kids with Cus D'mato :bbb:bbb:bbb

    Yeah that's my favourite Zakman spin line too, it's his catchphrase in fact.

    I even ordered ham and eggs when I was in America, just to see what the **** he was talking about. I was on my feet at 6, in case you're wondering.

    You didn't slightly stumble into the waitress while wiping your hands, and get waved out the door did you?

    When have you started following boxing, yesterday?

    Tyson is Lewis' mandatory for a while and there is a rule that Lewis should fight Tyson and not anybody else in his next fights otherwise he will be stripped. If Lewis needs to fight Tyson accdg to the rule, then Tyson must fight Lewis (you need 2 to tango).

    During those times, Tyson was stalling, looking for easy fights, like against old Mercer.

    What is nonsense? Tyson was forced to relinquis the WBC belt at the same moment he stepped in the ring with Seldon.
    All because he face WBA Champion in unification, instead of a mandatory chalenger.
    No nonsense in there.

    Intresting thing is, that in WBC news they write following.
    "It's very ironic that while Lewis sought an opportunity to fight Tyson, and succeeded in forcing him to relinquish the title due a court's ruling, he apparently never had the ability to accept the fight because of his exclusive promotional agreement with HBO." :deal

    Truth of the matter is it took a near prime Lewis eight ****ing rounds to take out a washed up over the hill Tyson. Prime Tyson takes Lewis to school.
