    Is that mean Lewis is no better than Foreman in the current time?

    Yipes. I'm about the same age as Evander, and you kids wanna put him in an old folks home?? :patsch Wait til YOU'RE in your 40s, it comes up quicker than you think!:yep

    If Holyfield faces Lewis now, he beats him. Heck, he arguably should've gotten the decison in their second fight in '99 - quite a few ringside journalists scored for him.

    I have 8 years left to hit my 40's:verysad Anyhow i hear ya I can still beat some ass in the gym, anyhow Evander did win the rematch IMO, but Lewis won the first fight so it kind of makes up for that, but in terms of the rematch Holyfield did so much more IMO than Lewis did he pressured the fight he hurt lewis a couple of times he even out jabed Lennox in rounds.

    Why would Lewis be interested in the WBO title?

    i love how people minimise a fighters preparations after a bad showing. lewis might not have been in top shape, but neither was vitali. they BOTH had 2 weeks notice. i'm pretty sure vitali would have trained a tad harder for a fight against a great champ compared to a showcase fight :yep

    it all evens out. lewis had experience and the confidence of a unified great champ, vitali had youth.

    anyway this is old news. i just think it leaves a sour taste in the mouth of hardcore lewis fans. who wouldn't constantly try to downplay the preparations after seeing their man do the tippy toe dance and flail around like a wally? yeah yeah vitali was cut to ribbons. so what? he didn't do no tippy toe dance into retirement. :hey

    What the **** has Lennox accomplished lately? Let him earn his rating against some solid second-tier opposition first - Derrisk Rossy would be perfect.

    Holyfield will always have trouble against Lewis because Lewis is tall; and therefore, hard to land clean, effective headbutts on.
