    :lol:

    Keep trying junior.

    I couldn't care less what you really do and who you really are.

    I'm just suggesting that if you are going to talk up your education, at least get a grown-up to check your spelling and grammar before you hit "reply". I'm just trying to help you out.

    You're welcome. :good

    And exactly who did he show that sensational consistency against? Tyrell Biggs? Tony Tubbs? Pardon me for not creaming myself over those "stellar" victories.

    Holyfield struggled against Bobby Czyz, Alex Stewart, Bert Cooper etc. and lost to Moorer. Those guys are worse than the Spinks, Holmes, Bruno, Thomas, Tucker, Tubbs, and Smith that Tyson utterly destroyed.

    Wow. I voted Lewis thinking I would be in the minority - great to see common sense prevailing. Lewis on his best day would beat anyone of the past 25 years.

    This proves that time is whats needed for objective decision making.

    Lennox Lewis hands down.

    *most importantly, maintained a high level of excellence throughout his career
    *faced very good competition and was dominant (rarely behind in fights)
    *improved as he got older something that is quite rare; became tougher
    *fought on enemy territory several times
    *beat every man he faced
    *scored huge kos. that's what great hws are supposed to do
    *his post-fight interviews against Rahman ("Hasbeen Rahman") and Vitali ("State of his face") :yep :yep

    Lennox beat more undefeated fighters than Holy or Tyson at the top level.

    Such as?

    Please say Bowe.




    By the way, I was responding to a comment about Lennox beating guys after they were already beaten by someone else, so your reply to my post is irrelevant anyway.

    Enlighten me as to whom they were ? All I know though is that LL's most notable wins came against fighters both Tyson and Holy beat ..And being undefeated is grossley overrexagerated in boxing ..As you saw last night on showbox in the Marquez fight !

    You were the jackass who brought the whole undefeated thing up! :patsch


    ...." Of course he would after those guys were beaten by someone else first !" ...

    Ring any bells?


    I agree too much emphasis is placed on having an undefeated record. SO WHY DID YOU MENTION IT LIKE IT WAS IMPORTANT???

    I was only responding to your ******ed point! Now as soon as I point out the fatal flaw in your argument, all of a sudden it doesn't matter any more?
