    its on the scene.

    As the article starts out, Lennox was asked for his opinion on the Klit brothers, so he gave his opinion. Its not like he is up on his twitter account putting them on blast or something. People are going to interview him and ask him about current fighters all the time. I agree that Vitali is the better fighter in many ways of the two brothers.

    He has earned the right to voice his opinion wherever he is, the evidence doesnt lie, best of his generation.

    There's no luck in boxing. He landed a solid punch which caused a cut.

    Well, as you can very clearly see he's not **** - talking. Some of you Wladimir fans have worrying intelligence. If somebody's not praising the brothers then you all blast him as trash talking.

    Why didn't he rematch Vitali for the biggest purse in boxing history? He knew he got lucky and would lose a rematch.

    Lennox to Vitali "Sorry Vitali didnt mean to swing my fist at you like that, in fact i didnt even aim, i just closed my eyes and swung, thats a nasty gash you have there, sorry for unintentionally hitting you again and again in that same very spot, i do apologise"

    Past prime Lewis beat the better brother in his prime.

    End thread.

    Noone, in a modern democracy needs to EARN the right to voice an opinion. One would hope that a man of Lennox Lewis stature and accomplishment would show some class and not engage in schoolboy ****-talking about current heavyweight long-term champions just because some twat of a reporter asked him a question.

    Again, if he was asked, he should have said "No, Wlad would KO me." Is that it? :roll:

    I don't know. They both seem the same to me. I'm not going to put nostalgia goggles on two guys who basically fought the same way.

    No, of course not. Lennox Lewis was an awesome champion and may well be the best of all time. But, as a Canadian fan who watched his development over the years I expected more class. For years, as a young contender and even champion he would always demand respect from reporters and interviewers. For years he would start every single interview, if he felt the interviewer was informed and respectful with the two words, "enough respect", and then proceed to answer questions. O.K. Lennox, then live or die by your creedo. Here's an intelligent, thoughtful response. "Wlad is a great long-term champ as I was and has just defeated David Haye which many fellow Brits pegged to defeat him. Noone knows who would defeat whom, in our respective primes. I feel I have certain advantages but Wlad has a great skillset and it would be a tremendously competitive, entertaining fight. Too bad it will never happen." Wow, is that so tough? Hell, i think Lewis wins against both Klits but geesh:patschLennox, show some humility and dignity. You're getting too old to run your mouth like a young twat.
