    rumor has it the pugilist specialist doesn't think so highly of the challenger's chances here.

    I dont think Lennox will help Haye because of loyalty Steward...
    Knowing Haye and his ego... he probably doesnt think lennox has anything at all worth showing him:roll::D

    Im sure Haye thinks he would have KO'd lennox in the 1st round:yep:yep

    Yes, what is a great way to look at it.

    Wlad will finally get the chance to shut Lennox's big mouth, by thrashing his protoge', Haye.

    I like it!

    Ha!

    Yes, by beating Haye WALDO will really shut Lennox's big mouth :lol:

    Shame he didn't have the nuts to try to do it when they were both active. Yet again he left it to his bigger, tougher brother to try to get rid of the nasty man for him - and look what happened :yep

    Wow, you are really putting your foot in your mouth on that one. You really don't want to bring up how Lennox avoided Wlad, who was his #1 contender by Ring Magazine for over 2 years, do you?:lol: How Larry Merchant used to make Lennox hide behind his promoters and Manny Steward every time he would ask Lennox when the hell he is going to fight Wlad.

    So he ducked Wlad to fight his tougher brother?

    Yes, I'm sure Lennox was ducking when he chose to fight the better brother, instead of taking on the 'recently KO'd in 2 rounds by a fat golfer' WALDO :rofl:rofl:rofl

    In the 2 years previous to that he'd fought Rahman twice which was unfortunate but at least he had the balls to rematch his loss immediately, then Tyson, then VITLAY. Go back a bit further and he fought Tua and Botha. Tua was far more deserving of a shot at the title back then than WALDO was, Botha was given a shot due to the problems he'd given Tyson - and got bombed out spectacularly :yep

    Vitali was his mandatory opponent for quite a long time. Lewis wouldn't have fought him if he didn't have to. Vitali tried to secure fights with Lewis several times before Lewis was forced to fight him after Johnson pulled out. Vitali was the only opponent that HBO and the venue would accept as a replacement in order to keep the event. Even if LEwis had flat out refused to fight Vitali then, his mandatory was already passed due and he would have had to fight Vitali next anyways.

    Nice try though.

    Apparently so yes. Lewis cowardly dodged the guy that had just been flattened by a guy that lost to Hasim Rahman and chose to fight his brother who had never been on the canvas :lol::lol::lol:

    Welcome to Widdowland, enjoy the ride.....

    Waste of a paragraph there dumbo, Lewis took the fight at short notice and turned VITLAYS face into dog-meat. Whether he would or wouldn't have fought him if he didn't have to is irrelevent, he kicked the **** out of him when they did fight.

    Now lets get back to this theory about Lewis ducking WALDO, I've got to hear more about this new phenomenom :D

    He still beat him, and would have beaten his brother even worst.

    It would have been a horrible, horrible beating. Think Michael Grant only with a worse chin :yep

    So, Lewis only fought twice in the last 27 or so months as Champion. Stop acting like he didn't have time because he was so busy or something. Although... I am sure that you believe the recently knocked out Frans Botha was a much more deserving challenger than the WBO World Champion and Ring Magazine ranked #1 contender Wladimir Klitschko.:-( Of course Lewis gets a pass on not facing his toughest and highest ranked challenger who was also calling him out... because Wlad ended up losing 2 years later.:nut You act like the only time that they could have fought each other was after Wlad lost to Sanders.

    Obviously this was BEFORE Wlad became complacent and bored waiting on Lewis to actually step up to the plate and take on a real challenge and lost to Sanders. Let's not also forget that Lewis admitted to Corrie Sanders on the phone that he had even avoided fighting Sanders. Come to think of it... Lewis avoided left handers his entire career. He never fought one single southpaw. Even dropping his IBF title to avoid fighting his #1 contender Chris Byrd. Lennox was just much to busy fighting once a year for last couple years.

    It's also funny how you mention Lewis' immediate rematch with Rahman. That is because of an immediate rematch clause in the contract, genius. The same thing that you guys were bashing Wlad for putting his in contract with Haye. That way Wlad isn't screwed out of a rematch like he was in the past when those who beat him openly admitted to refusing to get back into the ring with him. So I guess you don't think that Lewis had enough balls to rematch McCall immediately, eh? I guess that he had to wait until 3 years later when McCall was fresh out of crack rehab for that one?

    There's that southpaw thing again, and yep there's the Chris Byrd line again.

    Why not drop in the other usual Klit-ites claim that he ducked John Ruiz too? :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
