    Both were humble champions, but Lewis definitely had an arrogant streak, hence his sometimes poor condition in the odd fight against Rahman and Vitali. Lewis never lacked for self-belief even after losing fights.

    Wlad learned early on due to the set back of his numerous early losses that he couldn't take things for granted. I'd say he is more aware than anyone he's only ever one punch away from being and ex-champion. I'd say he is the more humble.

    Wlad, and there isn't even arguing.

    Lennox is a dick, and often acted like an entitled ******. Getting upset and sassy if the interviewer dared asking him delicate questions, lacking respect toward his opponents, constantly bitching even after retired.

    Poor condition is one the excuses most spouted by Lewis fans to distort the past, he lost fair and square against Rahman.

    And outside of Grant who was a massive hype job Lewis always struggled with guys who were of similar size. Especially fighters who could match or out jab his own jab.

    Of course he lost fair and square. But let's not and try and distort things and say he was 100% against Rahman first time around. He was then at a career high weight and had not acclimatised to the high altitude. We saw what a focused and in shape Lewis did in the rematch.

    Yes it was 100% Lewis fault for taking Rahman and the altitude lightly, it was stupid and arrogant and he basically got what he deserved in that fight. It was the worst version of Lewis we have seen post Steward.

    Wladimir wins this one for me. Lennox had his share of trash talking back in the day but it was hardly noticed.

    "Classic Boxer" is about as lame & sad as you can get as a troll :verysad

    The K bros are involved in charities, some that helps 3rd world kids. Classic Boxer is most likely a parasite.

    Seems to me both were/are relatively humble compared to other champions.

    I'd give the humble edge to Wlad. As others have noted, LL could get hissy in interviews, and did some trash talking... pounding his chest after wins :D

    Lewis didn't thank his body armor after the first Holyfield fight. All he did was cry about being robbed.

    If you spent 12 rounds guarding Lewis' rib cage from legal body punches, you would want a "thank you" as well.
