Lennox vs Vitali, explain or just vote

Learn the correct use of English before attempting to sound clever. What was "out of context" about what I quoted? ... and WTF does your "habit forming" comment even mean? :verysad

He did say the same type of stuff about Lennox while he was training him. That doesn't make is the truth. That is the whole point! He sucks up to whoever is his boss at the time.

I have never EVEN ONCE posted any of his quotes about how great Lennox is because it is just an employee talking about the man who pays his bills. It's meaningless. It was when he was talking about Lennox and it is now.



From an interview a few years ago......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: When was Lennox Lewis at his very best?

Emanuel Steward: "I would say right about the time he fought Botha. He was sharp, precision. I mean, one of the things that I think a lot of people didn't realize about Lennox, Lennox physically was extremely extremely strong. And guys who would fight him and I would see them after, the first thing they would say is they were amazed at how physically strong he was. And he blocked punches - it was just like hitting a big tree trunk or something, he would just push you off. Lennox was very physically strong. And very unpredictable, even with us in the camp. We didn't know when Lennox would come out and just explode soon as the bell would ring. Or he would come out and be cautious. You never could tell about him. He's very unpredictable and explosive. He was the best heavyweight I ever worked with."

Q: When he was at his best, do you think there was any heavyweight in history who could beat him?

Emanuel Steward: "When Lennox was at his very best he'd have been very difficult for anyone to beat. And I've said this a lot. The greatest heavyweight of all time was Muhammad Ali. And I will say Ali would have had problems with Lennox. Lennox was still taller than Ali. And Lennox had a very good left jab himself. But that's the closest anybody - not that he might have beaten Ali - but I think Ali would have beaten all the heavyweights in history, that I saw, still. But I think the ones he would have had the most trouble with were with Lennox and Larry Holmes. Ali would have problems with Larry Holmes - in his prime. All of them in their prime. And he would have problems with Lennox Lewis."

Again, I wouldn't even bother mentioning it if you hadn't claimed he never said anything like that about Lennox, but there you go.... He did.

Just because Steward says something doesn't mean it's true. I form my opinions for myself. You should try it sometime.
