Hard to have a lot of sympathy for him after the Collins/Resto inncident. Showed all the hallmarks of a sociopath, fake sympathy for Resto none for Collins. No end of cheating was beyond him - loaded gloves, peds, weight cheating, anything goes.
What happened? Did he take a sip out of a “special” water bottle be prepared for a fighter and have his heart explode? Lewis was a cheat and a scumbag. Boxing and the world are better without him. Good riddance.
People forget that in those days there were a few ‘outlaw’ trainers that would do anything to win. Panama just happened to get caught. What he did to Billy Collins was abhorrent and as someone mentioned Panama had no remorse at all a true sociopath. Good riddance.
Most consider Roberto Duran the most positive and legendary figure in Panamanian boxing. Panama Lewis is the most infamous.
This. He was an excellent trainer and really did do everything in his power to help his fighters achieve to their potential.
