    You need to get in the Classic more mate, it might as well be named after Fitzsimmons.

    Liang beat a badly out of shape and unfocused Duran. Not making excuses I'm a fan of all our fighters but he didnt beat the real Duran.

    I agree.. I would love to see Lewis in the era of Ali, Frazier, Forman, Norton, etc...

    I get alot of **** for it, but i really do believe he could have beaten some of those guys..

    I think Lewis was always underrated but just recently he has got the plaudits he should have received for years! He is a problem for every HW that ever lived and should be mentioned with all the other HW greats. He is without doubt in my top 5 HW of all time, and he should be in any self respecting boxing fans top 5 of all time!

    Yeah & ken didnt lose that fight with Duran he was ROBBED!!!
    Duran hit Ken with a DELIBERATE low blow 3 seconds AFTER the bell to end the round. Crooked ref Johnny LoBianco claimed it was a legal shot on ther bell . Which is total bull**** as the tape shows & the fact Ken was in hospital all night with ice packs on his swolllen family jewels.
    Lennox Lewis is second only to Ali in the heavyweights

    Lennox Lewis was born in LONDON ENGLAND!!!!! Which makes him not only British but a cockney to boot. He was taken to Canada when 12 yrs old by his mother. Actually you could say Lennox was just as much a cockney as Henry Cooper was lol. Great guy Henry always gave 100%

    Heres a swerve ball for you all! How about Thomas Mcdonough? He's a current boxer he's stylish he has all the tricks in the book he is a fighter of 32-2-3.
    His only losses are controversial ones.

    What are your thoughts?

    By americans? joe calzaghe

    He's a complete twat but one hell of a boxer.

    in 5 - 10 years he will be appreciated though. Ask any of the pro's around today they will speak highly of his ability

    From what I can see he looks good but he needs to start fighting some of the big boys to get some recognition I think.
