Yes …Tim Witherspoon…could do a little bit of everything…that’s why he’s a good trainer
No …and I was rooting for Holyfield
I would be willing to bet that if you asked Lennox Lewis…he probably considers himself to be Jamaican
Ok ..so when we say respect…do you mean if people in America acknowledged that he was a great fighter? In hindsight…yes
I respectfully disagree…I don’t think it matters that much to fans …Evander Holyfield didn’t become a popular fighter because he’s religious
I think it’s hard for any foreign athlete to become popular in America…no matter what country…no matter what sport…basketball…Tennis…baseball etc
Benn was respected after the Gerald McClellan fight …but his career didn’t last much longer after that
Calzaghe was criticized for most of his career…he was the under dog against Jeff Lacey …
Naseem Hamed could have been the biggest star in boxing…that’s your answer right there
He’s more popular post retirement than he was as an active fighter
Definitely not Ricky Hatton or Joe Calzaghe lol
Lennox Lewis is everything you want the heavyweight champion to be …the guy even looked the part …everything except for being an American
Cory Spinks vs Zab Judah …I remember thinking after that fight …Leon and Michael should be proud
Winky Wright vs Felix Trinidad
I really thought Andre Dirrell was gonna be a great fighter
