  1. you saw all this from 1992 on?

    Are you ****ing ******ed?

    You mean from 2004 on right? You stupid troll


    Lennox Lewis prime beat the living **** out of everyone that you 'saw'
     
  2. I will say

    I saw the greatest

    H2H Heavyweight ever

    Lennox Lewis

    with the best hair cut (braids)

    with the best body

    the best smile

    the best personality

    the best right hand

    the best jab

    the most exciting style


    I'll say he was robbed against Mccall

    he was drugged against Rahman

    he was a real man and dominated both rematches

    he avenged all his defeats


    he beat everyone that he faced


    he almost took out Vitali's eye

    I'll say I saw tko6


    I don't know the rest .... I don't care

    Lennox was good, but the most exciting style? Hardly.

    Pacman era but nothing spectacular which will match the fab 4 era of the 1980s. Mayweather has to agree to fight Pacman for people to remember the era. If not they will be remembered as champions but not really as a great era. It is different to be remembered as great than to go down in history as a group of greats like Hagler,Duran,Hearns and Leonard were. That adds something to the legacies.

    I saw a warrior take on 3 unbeaten fighters, 6 current/former/future champions including 1 former undisputed champion in a span of 8 fights and 4 years..
    Edit: 5 of those fights were on the road..

    I fPac and Maywether don't fight, that will be remembered. Klitschkos will get recognition they deserve for their accomplishment. Maybe boxing will change, and we and others will be saying "Remember title fights with no head gear, and when gloves were not 20 ounces?"

    We also have a pool of great/legendary trainers-



    A guy who used boxing as a way to fight parkinsons

    A guy who perfectly replicated Mayweather's "****ing shoulder"

    A guy who cared and offered water every step of the way/pulled the plug baby

    A guy who had unlimited foresight- NOTHING ever went unexpected

    A guy who was a master of metaphors... and swimming lessons

    A guy who became the GOAT entertainer on the show 24/7

    20 years ago, I saw 4 guys who battled each other (except for one pairing) and we were guaranteed action everytime out. Moved their separate ways and all carved a legacy for the modern times.

    the top two fighters avoided each other like bitches. the heavyweight division had no champion because two brothers failed to realize that boxing is an individual sport and decided to share the titles even though they were the only fight that mattered in the heavyweight division. the don king era was slowly on the way out. boxing is it's own worst enemy and even with mma breathing down their throats they felt no sense of urgency to give fans what they want.
