    I dunno, I haven't read the bible. :conf

    To be fair, I never thought Holyfield came across as at all "preachy". Religious, yes, but not like telling other people what they should live like. So I can't really criticize him.
    Then again, I switch off when most these guys start talking non-boxing. Unless it's Ali, it's usually very boring. :good

    I was going on his " god will make sure I win " bollox rather than his stance on religion in his personal life tbh.

    Just seems like double standards to me. All these kids by different women, but he will be protected by the super galactic sky daddy in the ring.:roll:

    Yeah, I never understand the boxers who say God is on their side, especially when the opponent prays to the same God. I guess it all depends on who God's got his money on ! :lol:

    What's even more scarier is most boxers nowadays say 'first i wanna thank Al Haymon, then i wanna thank god'......

    Lewis is to Tyson/Holyfield what Calzaghe was to Jones/Hopkins.

    A guy who came along and beat two old legends past their best.

    Difference is Lewis was actually mixing it with the worlds best while Calzaghe spent most of his reign beating up welsh miners.

    Yeah, imagine that. A tipster in the sky, all the faithful could just wander in and ask who he has got his money on, and send telepathic messages back to their relatives.:lol::lol::rofl

    Not only does Poor Lenni not have universal approval but also doesn't get recognition and approval from his 2 best challengers. Only has Big George has his biggest fan out there who thinks he is the best Heavy Weight ever even better than Ali.

    Did Ali ever get his lights knocked after one hit to the face? Then Leni fans come make all sorts of excuses "Lets see what you do when you get hit in the face by a heavy weight boxer". Lol, Tyson took Leni's 167 hard jabs, right hands, upper cuts, Poor Lenni can't even take one. So much for being the TBE. Some one please find out what Big George keeps smoking

    Your post would carry much more weight had the ra pist, or Holier Than Thou actually BEATEN Lewis. As it stands it's just pure sh it.

    It's the tea and crumpets promo when he dangles his pinkie finger like some snobbish elitist prikk. And probably because he really isn't that humble. Those are my guesses.

    Actually in some conference, seminar Tyson actually admitted that the Ruddock wars finished him.
