    Haye is already heavyweight champion on account of WALDO ducking him on that escalator. When he KO's WALDO in the ring he'll actually be a two-time champ.

    Other than Lennox getting caught stupidly twice, one of which should not have been stopped (he would have lost anyway), I will deny whatever you want to bring to the table to try and discredit Lennox.

    Stop twisting the truth. Lewis was the rightful no.1 contender for the WBC belt. Tyson paid Lewis step aside money in order to fight for the belt. Anytime you leapfrog a higher ranked mando for a title shot, you must give said fighter an immediate title shot. Team Tyson knew this. Tyson was not a real champ in that instance. He wasn't even supposed to fight for that title. He reneged on his deal and was rightfully stripped. He was in no way, still the champ.

    Lewis and Holyfield are both 2 time champions, as is Patterson and Foreman. Ali is 3 time champ.

    Lewis ranks above Holyfield in both resumé & head 2 head.

    No, Lewis is absurdly overrated, as this post demonstrates. You never saw Evander Holyfield starched in the early rounds by some second-rate fighters when HE held the title, and he actually faced two of the other top guys in his era (Bowe and Tyson) when it mattered, rather than wait til they were past it to face 'em like Lewis did.

    Heck, even Tyson is better. You didn't see him get sparked out early when he was at his best. Heck even when he was washed up he held up better than Lewis!

    Given the excuses everyone has for Tyson, you could easily argue that Lewis wasn't at his best when he got beat either. Regardless, neither Bowe or Tyson wanted anything to do with Lewis. He couldn't force them to fight him. They both dumped their belts rather than face him.

    LOL at Zakman. You also never saw him battered by a 400 year old grandfather, headbutt challengers time and time and time again, use a convicted steroid dealer in his camp and lose head to head twice to the same man.:deal
