Lennox has been intensely envious of Joshua. He wants to be considered the best UK HW of all time, and has feared losing that status to AJ. Lennox has no class. You never hear Holyfield or Tyson express jealousy for current heavyweights.
I never was specially a fan of Lewis. To be honest, I neverl liked him very much. But man, Lewis is worlds ahead the bodybuilder, you cannot even compare them. The only thing that the bodybuilder should say to lewis is "yes, sir".
Lennox Lewis is second only to The Greatest Muhammad Ali & he'd be the first to tell you Ali was #1 for him too
I don’t know about that. Ask him if he would have won a fight with Ali had they met at their best and I think he would have given a different answer. Lennox was always supremely confident in his own abilities when he was fighting and he remains the same in retirement.
I was there when someone asked Lennox that very question he replied " No I dont think I could ever beat Ali he is The Greatest & therefore my idol
Lennox Lewis is a two-faced Candian PBC al Haymon remote-controlled unconvincing toy. Claimed he's only happy fighting in the UK and is protected but it's all constructive! please He's riding Wilder's jock & doesn't attempt to be objective.
AJ is way out of line. LL EARNED the right to critique fighters, he was sensationally upset 2x and came roaring back both times. He was himself critiqued harshly by those that went before him at times. He didn't complain or run his mouth though, he took the constructive criticism and made himself a better fighter because of it. Hes trying to help the kid out. This doesn't look or sound good for AJ. It seems he feels hes above it. With an outlook like that he wont go on to achieve much if any more.
If AJ was any other nationality I'm absolutely certain that LL's opinion of him would be vastly different but as it currently stands it's abundantly plain for all to see that LL simply lacks the integrity to give AJ a fair shake.
