    Exactly!

    The English language is often a thing of beauty, but is so easy to manipulate, and in this era there are not too many Carlin's around to do with wit.

    Head to head vitali would be the biggest challenge of any all time fighter to Lewis. I don't see any historical greats beat either of them.

    Lennox Lewis was smarter than his doubters and critics. He was not a guy that other contenders (with something to lose) wanted to fight. It's a rough nite. He had some trouble getting the big name guys into the ring. When he lost focus and allowed McCall to stop him he gave those guys who were ducking him ammunition.
    At the end of the day Lewis made many more good decisions which allowed him to stand the test of time. Hiring Manny Steward. Also Lewis had enough humility to listen to him and make the improvements. Easier said than done.
    He was able to settle the argument with all of them he was the best heavyweight of his era. A shoe in for top 5 heavyweight champion in history. Head to Head even hire.
    He retired when he lost his drive. Very smartly stayed retired. He isn't slurring his words and he looks like his finances are together. .
    lf my son was gonna be a boxer I would want him to approach it like Lewis did. Get out with all your marbles and $ and a big sack of stinky weed.
