Lennox was exciting?!?!

    Lennox fought better opposition and won in a much more impressive fashion - there is no credible comparison in terms of achievement. In terms of style - well Lewis had an arsenal I've yet to see Wlad display. I won't bother mentioning heart.

    I don't hate Wlad, but while I admire his skills I find him almost impossible to like as a fighter. The way he prolonged the fight against a shadow of Rahmann - for a man of his ability - is damn near shameful.

    Lewis had his boring fights and had his exciting fights as well. Mercer, Vitali, and Briggs were all entertaining fights. Lewis had a good deal of highlight reel KOs or explosive beatdowns, such as Ruddock, Weaver, Golota, Rahman, Grant, and Botha.

    It's not easy to KO holyfield in his prime or slightly past prime when he fought lewis.

    He did KO tyson-golota-grant-briggs etc etc He wasn't exciting like a mike tyson but he was very smart and used his long reach to beat his opponent and he finished a lot of his fight with a KO.

    John is an idiot if he thinks Lewis is just like Wlad that don't take chances. Lewis takes way more chances which means more risk then Wlad and that's a clear fact. John talks about Lewis didn't take chances vs Holyfield? Who's better? Holyfield that hold both titles? Or Chagaev? Come on john seriously and Lewis after the Holyfield fight fought a bigger fighter in Grant and ko Grant in 2 rounds. After that ko Botha in 2 rounds as well. Also Lewis doesn't throw the same punches over and over again with jab, jab, jab, straight right, jab, jab, jab, straight right. Lewis does way more then that.
