    I knew someone would make that point.

    he succeeded in gettin noticed but who intends to be thought of as a wanker? which is what ppl will think of ppl who try to get attention on an internet boxing site.

    you dont agree that Lewis avoided Tyson when mike was in his prime??

    Couldnt have seen don King turning that one down to be honest. All those 0's and another KO for mike - good business.

    i think as soon as people read this thread, they instantly think about how HAYE would beat LENNOX.. think about it the other way round for a minute, how would lennox go about beating haye? lennox never liked to trade, he always jabbed first and backed off when someone threw at him. so it would be a slow, chessmatch kinda fight where whoever lands first, wins!!

    i would not bet on it thats for sure! :nono

    Just see Hye basically outboxing him. Slipping his shots and then moving in range and landing the infrequent bomb. Hayes shots would become more n more frequent as the rounds progressed. N i rekon He wudda stopped Lewis.

    Let's see if Haye can beat Vitali so. A much older Vitali too and he will still lose imo. I can't believe some people actually think David Haye is better than Lewis.:patsch

    yeah hes done **** all at HW, but dont tell me u cant see how talented haye is?! your right in saying he doesnt deserve to be compared to lewis, but only when it comes to achievements and resume. haye is such a talented BOXER, i think he could beat one or both klits. his movement and speed is too good! but thats just my opinion :D

    ok maybe Lewis didnt avoid mike. but i still begrudge lewis and il tell you why...


    In mikes prime he wudda smashed lewis all over the gaff but the two never met. But lewis recieves all the hype and credit for beating mike tyson. but thats all he did, just beat a name. By then, mike was ****. We dont need to go into just how **** he was cos we all know but he wasnt scaring heavyweights no more put it that way.

    Just seems LL is remembered as being brilliant for abit of a con.

    People forgot that nobody gave a chance to buster douglas to beat mike tyson!
    IRRC douglas was easily 1 is to 10 underdog on that fight!

    I must admit haye is underdog here but i'll still give him a fair chance to beat Lewis no matter how small it may seem!

    If you notice im not showing any bias as i stated prior that i favoured a yank of an englishman. Also, both boxers in question are english. So wheres the bias? personal preference?

    Messing with you chumb. Its pretty clear u hate Lewis, so I find it not so surprising that u'd pick Haye.
