    In a post fight interview, Lewis said he wants to collect all the belts and keep them for himself. That seemed selfish. Lennox Lewis should learn to share.

    Greedy mofo.
    Telling you if someone tried to take one or more from him, I wouldn't put it past him resorting to violence. Punch him in the face or something savage like that.

    He should have shared with Rahman and Tua. Then they could have all been friends.

    Who can blame any boxer for wanting to be undisputed?

    I have no idea why Lewis would want to win every belt and keep defending them.......none at al. The mind boggles.

    It was also a big lie because he didn't collect the WBO title.
