    Hi Guys.
    For me, Joe Louis was the most humble, also no bad language, no profanities, and respect for his fellow fighters, don't get know better.
    Mike.

    Lennox is one of my favorites but ain't no way was he the most humble champion.

    "There's no way he could have finished the fight. You look at the state of his face. There's no way. He's lucky the fight was stopped. I was just getting to him and he was just deteriorating. So, I don't know what you're talking about. He would have got knocked out the next couple rounds. "

    Yeh but the point is that he seems not to want to give Klitschko any type of credit. Making it look like he wasn't in any trouble.

    Direct wins over Tyson, Holyfield, Vitali and Bowe (in amateur boxing) without defeat. Is that a little?

    I love Lewis, but he definitely had his moments of arrogance \ controversy (anyone remember the lead up to the Bruno fight?).
    But in general, yes, he conducted himself well and was a terrific fighter.
