    He is NOT from the Ali school imo. He fights nothing like Ali.

    He is more from the Armstrong boxing school imo.

    I have always preferred Lewis to Steward as a 'color' commentator. He gets a lot of **** on this forum but he really does provide some nice insight if you listen to him. I'll take 'what is said' (Lewis) over 'how it is said' (Kellerman) any day.

    So on...so forth.

    Lennox is the lesser of the three evils but he's still relatively evil.

    I like Lewis, I disagree about the Ali school thing.

    As said before, He is more from the Henry Armstrong school than the Ali school imo.

    I disagree with ''like Ali'', but the rest is ok accurate.

    And Pacquiao's jab is not is most useful weapon, i think we can all agree with that(and so can David Diaz/Ricky Hatton)

    The right jab and right hook are two weapons he has recently added in his arsenal. You can't find them in his previous fights pre-Morales 2. They're damned effective in the dela Hoya fight.

    He´s nothing like Ali. He´s a GREAT fighter, but not in the school of Ali, not by a longshot.

    i agree with lennox, who is a class act.....and pacquiao's right hand jab is extremely underrated, he threw a lot of jabs at hatton that caught him, before landing the big left.

    Yea i like Lewis aswel. He's not the most articulate and he stumbles over his his words at times but over the course of a fight he makes plenty of good points.
