That interview is typical Lennox Lewis. What a nice guy he is he refuses to talk bad about any fighter. Lennox was just rattling a few cages & having a laugh scaring both the Kiltschkos. Lennox beats both Klits easy He already beat Vitali on only 10 days notice lol
Yi'll hae tae make allowances for SQ. He might be havin' a wee dram this evenin', or maybe a wee puff.
If the fight was made for mid-2014, we're talking about a 48 year-old guy who's been out of the ring for ELEVEN YEARS walking straight into a fight with the heavyweight champion of the world ! It's unheard of. Tell me when a "far worse" fight has ever been sanctioned ? Also, only stupid people are taking Lewis's comments seriously.
As ridiculous as it sounds on the face of it, fighting a decade gone 48 year old might tempt Wlad to be braver than ever. Imagine if he walked onto a single right-hand as a result. atsch Of course Lewis was joking. I'm surprised that so many have taken the bait.
Holmes vs Ali. Criminal that fight was allowed to take place. Ali flunked his medicals but they allowed him to 'pass' because it was a money fight. Watch the ESPN Documentary on that fight. Ali had no business being in there he already had the onset of early Parkinson's.
I too don't think Lewis is serious about this, and even if he was, can you imagine what the demands of Wlad would be if Lewis was given 100M?? So there's no hope in hell of this fight actually happening, but the funny thing is I think if he did get in the ring with Wlad he'd do better than Povetkin just did. At the very least it would be a much more exciting fight, because Wlad couldn't get away with 1/2 the crap he pulled off in that fight so that would force Wlad to actually have to box/fight instead of grab/hug.
OK. Holmes - Ali was worse. Obviously Lewis isn't serious. But if it did happen he'd get starched inside a round.
