    Why do people call this man an arrogant twat. He's so humble. Like GSP/Wlad/Manny

    Lewis was a bit cocky at times, not always humble. But heck he was able to back it up, too so this is to be forgiven. Overall a great role model for young aspiring athletes.

    Actually he's never been cocky at all. The only time he's ever said anything egotistical was because Merchant was being a glorified douche.

    Tyson also vacated the WBC belt to duck Lewis.

    I'm surprised Holyfield has not been mentioned more. Guy was a class act and a gentleman. Never boastful or arrogant.
    Dirty ****er inside the ring though, but then again many have been.

    For me, it's Bruno & Holyfield. (And to be fair, Wladimir can be included as well.)

    I don't like when title holders/paper champions are called DIVISION CHAMPIONS! To me holding title is big achievements, but champion is special!

    I hope we see another fighter like Lennox soon :). So fun to watch.

    Biggest G ever. 50% trained, fat, not giving a **** about Vitali. Goes in and takes his ass out. Retires with 150-170 million. :)

    Why so much love for the wifebeater?

    Don't be fooled by the fake persona

    And Holyfield too.

    A drug cheat.

    We don't know why he beat his wife.
    Maybe she was being a the biggest bitche ever.

    He does seem to have a good relationship with his daughter so if he was a fake why isn't she with her mother?

    Runs into retirement rather than takes a tough fight against somebody in their prime. Get over it. Holy and Tyson made more :hey

    Lewis has still got his money and can afford to retire from all work.

    Tyson and Holy still need to work.
