It's not a greatest hits clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnz77QSu2HA The greatest fighter of all time!!!
It's sad seeing how far he has fallen mentally and physically. Then, I remember he is a racist fuck and I feel less badly. Still, he was a charming guy and an interesting interview, very full of life and he has looked terrible for the last 25 years.
Great to remember some of those, it's exactly what boxing is missing a great charasmatic champion. Now we have crap.:dunno:

Some people are fighters some people are soldgers but few people really are warriors. Ali was a warrior. And the conselation is that despite his condition he has always done things his way.
Lennox also had better wit and better rhymes than Ali. Who can top shit like "People come to test, but I put them to rest because Lennox Lewis is the best!" :clap: Seriously, how could anyone top THAT?!?!?!?! That's f*cking world class baby, world class!!!!!
He wasn't racist, ike. Racist are those who walk around in white with pointy hats while holding sticks on fire.::

Hey!!!! :nono: Let's not go there! By the way, don't you know that many different basketball players play basketball?
One of my favorites is when he said "I wouldn't have done that" after Bika fouled Calzaghe (why none of us saw you hit Acey three times while he was down or the fouls against Grant) and Max had to remind him "Michael Grant would disagree" and after a long pause, Lennox says "no comment". Another good one is when Rahman is hurt, dead tired, and on the ropes. Lewis goes "I'm telling you he's going to get knocked out in this fight!!" like we don't already know that. The gayest one is when he was talking about the Rahman rematch. He says "Rahman went to court trying to get another fight and the judge told him, uh-uh, you've been a bad boy, you have to fight Lewis".
Actually I liked that one.:: He said that on Jim Rome and the way he said it was funny enough. "Uh Uh, you've been a bad boy!!!":nono: :laughing: Could you imagine Lewis scolding his son after his son kicks a soccer ball through the shed window. "You've been a bad boy!"
