I have been willing to say of Lewis that he has fought the best guys he
could find to get into the ring with him (well, usually), as well as
state
that he is the most ducked world class heavyweight in the division
today.
These are statements I have made quite often, and you know that Brian
:-)
I have long believed that he is the heavyweight with the second best
resume, but that is exactly the point - the SECOND best resume. It
is not his fault that Bowe split the title ducking him and Tyson paid
him step aside money, and these things ought to be noted. However,
being ducked by a guy is not the same thing as defeating him - it
just doesn't carry the same weight. Lewis's resume is not as impressive
as Holyfield's. The post I was responding to was almost a work
of fiction.
As I stated in an earlier post, detailing the major points of Lewis's
record, Lennox Lewis is not necessarily Evander Holyfield's most
important or formidible opponent. A good arguement can be made either
way. No reasonable arguement can be made that Holyfield is anything
less than the best and most important man that Lewis has ever fought.

by KO, or TKO.(in the 10th)
for the tittle, and with a big hope to raise more money in the futur
Lewis will be motivate. But for telling the truth,I don't care about
the winner I only want a GREAT BOUT.
Simple question : anybodys think that hollyfiled is a little bit "too old"?
after all the hard bouts he have done, i'm afraid for
his health.

Mike Tyson - who avoided Lewis like the plague.
George Foreman - beaten by Briggs who was beaten by Lewis
Riddick Bowe - Chicken Bowe - lasted less than 2 rounds in the
Olympics against Lewis.
Ray Mercer - beaten by Lewis
Buster Douglas - who turned up for his money and nothing else!!!
Larry Holmes - Senior Citizen
Michael Dokes - Ditto Holmes.
Bert Cooper - Only just, or was Holyfield trying his hand at
breakdancing?????
Alex Stewart lasted less than a round with Tyson wouldn't last any
longer against Lewis.
Even the lesser names he's beaten are equal to the=
best of Lewis. - Crap!
Holyfield was beaten up badly twice by Chicken Bowe, who himself was
beaten up badly twice by Golota, who - oh yeah - lasted 91 seconds
against Lewis.

Briggs fought well and would put Moorer away.

Lewis has waited 6 years for this fight. Bowe chickened out when he
was undisputed champ, and Tyson paid $4million NOT to fight him. Even
Holyfield has tried to avoid the fight with huge demands.
Whilst Lewis has failed to impress in certain bouts. Holyfield should
remember the two fights when Lewis was put in with opponents who were
expected to beat him. Ruddock & Golota.
I believe that Lewis will come into the fight with Holyfield more
focused than he has ever been before. Holyfield will fall!
I expect Lewis to KO Holyfield within 7 rounds.

BOWE avoided Lewis like the plague. Tyson just ducked
him once. :-)
> George Foreman - beaten by Briggs who was beaten by Lewis
No one except our dear corrupt friends down in New Jersey thought
that Briggs actually won that fight, and only someone with no
knowledge of Foreman's career would claim that the Foreman who
fought Briggs was as formidible as the Foreman who fought
Holyfield almost a decade before.

Bowe ducked Lewis like the plague, but the amateurs are a whole
different game than the pros. Any fighter will tell you that.
> Ray Mercer - beaten by Lewis
Just barely.
> Larry Holmes - Senior Citizen
See the Foreman statement.
> Even the lesser names he's beaten are equal to the=
> best of Lewis. - Crap!
It isn't crap, it is the plain truth. Lewis's best opponent
to date is Ray Mercer. Below that are Andrew Golota and Razor
Rudduck, two fighters who built their reputations off of LOSSES,
and Tommy Morrison. Oh yeah ... given the overall caliber of
this rogue's gallery, perhaps I should include Frank Bruno.
I don't expect to be able to make sense to this guy, who obviously
thinks that a fighter's ability is fixed throughout his career.
Still, these points need to be made again and again......

lord...@skynet.be
beated "famous name" but Lewis beated Akinwande,Morrison,Bruno, MC call
Brigss, Mavrovic, Golota and he's ready to take hollyfield. he must
have his chance, Hollyfield is best than him? okay but I still wanna
see that bout
you misunderstood me on one thing ,the bout will be a great bout, you
can bet on holly, me on lewis, but the facts are there, we will see
two greats champ for a unification bout, you spoke like if Lewis don't
deseve this luck,but he deserve it.
for the health of hollyfield, look he's a GREAT WARRIOR, but he took
many hits, and I would see holyfield in a perfect health for the end
of his career. HE was incredible against tyson and moorer, that's sure
and He's the most charismatic fighter, He deserves to win too!

Foreman wasn't as good against Briggs as he was against Holyfield and Holyfield
beat Foreman all over the place, but 6 years does not equal almost a decade.

Who could Lewis have beaten that would impress you? I'm just curious. I really
think its a low class typical r.s.b. to run through ten years of fights and
denigrate every single one. So who would have impressed you? Bowe (who seems
to impress you) ducked him, and Tyson (post prison 10 years past his prime)
ducked him. He fought Golota who had lost by DQ to Bowe but had put a horrible
beating on Bowe. Golota was picked by many people to defeat Lewis including
r.s.b.'s Lewis bashing president Ivan Weiss. You left Akinwande off your list
who MANY people picked to beat Lewis, including several of the Lewis bashing
club on rsb. It seems you've awfully impressed by Holyfield beating 10 years
past his prime Tyson and winning 1 out of 3 to Bowe. You're putting a very
negative spin on Lewis and I think you're going to be very surprised when Lewis
KOs Holyfield.

Everybody read that? Everyone understand that?
As I too have said several times before, too many Lewis fans are too ready to count
the non-fights against Holyfield, Tyson, and Bowe as de facto victories for Lewis.
It just doesn't work that way.
