    I have to think that, if Wlad had just blown Rahman away in 3 or 4 as he seemed very capable of, such comments would not have been necessary and such defensive horror from Wlad's fans wouldn't have happened either.

    Exactly. Wlad could've sent this chump packing in 2-4 rounds with ease

    I don't see why anyone should be angry at Lennox for expressing an honest and valid opinion. The fact is he dispatched of a better version of Rahman faster and in more devastating fashion. Why should he be expected to lie and suck off Wlad just for the sake of it.

    It's not like he said Wlad looks terrible. Just that he should/could have gotten Rahman out of there earlier

    that could possibly have been a different fighter to the one lewis fought.

    fat, slow, old. the rahman who beat lewis was an athlete who was desperate for success

    True.

    It i human that Lennox would hype a guy that he is 1-1 with, and that we would be biased against Wlad whose brother he was losing on points to before the injury.

    It would have been great if he could rise above those personal issues. Unfortunately he could not.

    Benny, he is always bias toward WLAD...since Uncle Manny has tried to make him into a Lewis 2.0.


    ...and he of course nearly wets himself when Rock gets in trouble.

    Anything to help solidify that Lewis' loss to him was was a fluke.

    To me, that is BS because he was clearly (although subtly) rooting for Maskaev to beat Rahman

    He also clearly knew Wlad would beat Rahman, and wanted Wlad to beat Rahman, it just took longer than anticipated
