    Well, no, it's just that Lewis fought like a scared faggot, it's not in his make up to open up against anyone remotely dangerous.

    He only ever "opened up" on scrubs that posed no threat like Botha and Golota.

    Prime for prime Lewis-Holy is a 50/50 fight, IMO.

    Based on the rematch, I would have to give Holy a much better chance than 50/50.

    i'm saying Holyfield cheated into a victory over Tyson by clinching every 2 seconds...and therefore shouldn't get any sympathy at all for anyone doing the same against him

    He beat him by catching him coming in repeatedly and basically beating the fight out of him

    comparing that to Ruiz throwing a right hand lead, left arm hug 150 times over 12 rounds and then pretending to be in utter agony every time it didn't work so that referee would waste precious seconds trying to figure out what was wrong with him is beyond stupid

    count the number of clinches initiated in that fight by both combatants.

    Jacksonville, Florida via The Bronx, NYC........

    I've met him before. In fact, it was here in Jacksonville at the Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars Monday Night Football game in '01..... It was on my anniversary, Dec. 3rd; he had just recently beaten Rahman in the re-match.

    Anyway, I was in the pressbox because Lennox had stopped by to say hello to the Monday Night Football crew. Everyone one was kissing his ass, saying "Hey, Champ!!", etc... He walked by with that smirk on his face. He was with that tall baldheaded guy who I believe was his bodyguard (The same guy that stepped between him and Mike Tyson during that on stage debacle).

    Some people were asking me what did I think of him now that he was there. The reason they asked that was I was the foremost authority on boxing in the Jacksonville media, and while on the radio, I was saying how Tyson would kick his ass (OK, wrong again!). I remember how I said, "He still sucks".... And the instigators started laughing. Nothing ever came of it, but he just came across as arrogant.

    Right after that game, I drove up to NYC at 2am!!! (Of course, after interviews, etc)

    By the way, Brett Favre threw 3 TD's!

    If you put any heavyweight in history up against Lewis five times, nobody is getting three wins against him.

    Who mex? For me, I'd say Ali, Holmes, 1992 Holyfield (after taking steroids to bulk up), maybe prime Foreman.
    But it's hard to tell really. I think Tyson was too small for Lewis. I don't think Tyson's chin could hold up if Lewis smacked him with a right hand more than a few times. Tyson would likely start to box on the outside instead of trying to come in like he usually does. You don't follow a puncher around, as Foreman said.

    If he had any sense of humor he would put up a sign saying 65 dollars for signed boxing gloves. Price is firm. Don't low ball me.
