A lewis fan calling someone a coward



PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lennox was the heavyweight champ of the world, not cowardly punk lol

As a boxing fan yourself you know full well that the heavyweights arent the greatest showcase for the sport as one punch often finishes the match. So saying Tyson hurt this fighter or that fighter means nothing. Of course he hurt them, he was one of the most devastating punchers ever.

I agree factors outside the ring contributed to his demise. As well as firing his coach the whole Robin Givens affair was a huge factor but we cant talk about that stuff when its man against man in the ring. Tyson legacy will be more about these fights then the one and two round victories from his early career.

Nonesense and tell's me a lot about when you started watching boxing as Heavyweight boxing up until early 2000's latest was still the showcase of boxing

Fair enough with the rest

“Lennox Lewis inside the ring promised to give me a rematch, and in the next fight I had a very impressive knockout. Lennox thought about it, discussed with his family and decided to announce his retirement.

George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.


Now go and run off like your Hero Lewis before I embarrass your further

The heavyweights are the most important division cuz they raise the most money but are you seriously saying that most of the best fights in the sport are between the big guys cuz I'd totally disagree with that.

The most memorable fights in history are without question those that have taken place in the heavy division bar a few Ie: Leornard - Hearns/Duran

I personally prefer the lower weights as it is more my sort of style lots dancing/weaving/faster etc but each to there own

youre embarassing yourself fanboy...everyone on the site thinks youre an idiot
lewis beat klitchko , end of, even at the grand old age of 38 with vitali in his prime
he doesnt have to give rematches to everyone he fights, besides he chose to retire wisely at 38 and stayed retired with his wealth and health intact
he also won every rematch he ever fought. he was no coward he was awesome, any many who calls him a coward is a coward himself

Totally disagree. If you look at Ring magazine fight of the year over the pas few decades, very few have been from the heavyweight division.

Time to get saving lads

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement

His OWN COACH said he was disgusted with Lewis and that he was ducking Vitali PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COWARD COWARD COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vladimer23 great poster

That is the truth my friend no matter how you try to twist it

He told Vitali he would get a rematch then went back on his word and RAN for the hills then had the nerve 10 years later to call the Klits out **** outta here you coward

the bit your forgetting conveniently is lewis stopped him and won the fight lol
lewis landed all the massive punches, he sliced klitschkos face wide open and threw one of th ebest upper cuts ever seen

klitschko is a quality fighter, often a bit boring but still top class

lennox was right to fight him , he won fair and square and was right to then retire aged 38 and never come back. lewis beat everyone he ever fought.
he won worldwide respect and goes down as an all time great

thankfully lennox retired too with his health in tact and ignored the mindless drivel of fanboys like you demanding he keep coming back
good on you lennox you all time legend

add me he is a legend

Add me absolute legend

You also forget that was also an overweight way past his prime Lewis at that point.

He'll be in trouble again in no time. BB is trying to salvage him because he's the only minor celebrity they have.

minor celebrity lol ......the mans a world wide superstar and all time boxing legend

He is the only one I was surprised they got.

There is scraping the barrel and then there is the Big Brother House. Few are the indignities as dispiriting as the sight of a great fighter wandering around the shallow drivel-scape that is celebrity TV chained to a Barbie doll.





Luisa Zissman’s idea of depth appears to extend no further than a one-night stand, unless a treatise on heated rollers counts as evidence of a developed intellect. It could have been worse. Evander Holyfield might have been locked together with that other paragon of authenticity, Casey Batchelor, who flaunts breast implants for a living while chirping the brilliantly crafted catchphrase, “Should I get ’em out?” Please no, Casey.

Holyfield is a sucker for the busty punch, having fathered 11 children by half a dozen different mothers. There is nothing in Ms Zissman’s locker that Holyfield has not previously encountered in a career bedding all-comers. That is partly why he wound up keeping company with Channel 5’s bevy of needy underwhelmers in the first place.

The $230m fortune amassed breaking noses is long gone. Holyfield, a victim of his appetites and poor judgment, could keep neither penis nor pennies in his pants. What he did not give away to family, friends and charitable causes he blew on bacchanalian excess. An upbringing of grinding poverty in America’s South left Holyfield hungry for anything and everything, never imagining that the tsunami of cash washing over him at his peak would one day subside.

To his eternal credit, Holyfield confessed he had never heard of the show. To be fair to the producers, they probably knew little of him save for the fact he had lost part of an ear to the omnivorous teeth of Mike Tyson. One of the great careers in the history of boxing boiled down in this context to one infamous episode perpetrated 16 years ago.

Of the epic stuff – the trilogy with Riddick Bowe, the four world heavyweight titles, the undisputed reign at cruiserweight – not a mention as he walked down those stairs to meet his fate and Ms Zissman’s silicone-enhanced persona.

Holyfield did not have to say much to impress. Waiting inside were sundry testosterone-busters of questionable calibre such as rapper Dappy, ex-comedian Jim Davidson and Ollie Locke, the “star” of something called Made in Chelsea. Of the women Ms Zissman was typical, with the honourable exception of a Nolan sister, who does not measure self-esteem in cleavage.

Unfortunately for Holyfield, the winner does not get to keep the cash prize, which is given to a charity of the victor’s choice. Perhaps the aim is to fail nobly, as he did in the ring, in order to attract a charitable donation himself. Holyfield is presently selling everything he owns to clear a debt mountain of unpaid tax, alimony and child support. His 109-room house was bought for $7.5m by the bank JP Morgan Chase. Next up is what is left of his personal possessions and career baubles.

So the journey from nothing comes full circle, returning Holyfield to relative poverty, save for the reputation built in the ring, and on which he trades now. The son of illiterate parents, brought up by a disabled mother after the father had split, Holyfield found a route out of the ghetto via the fight game, giving legs to the First World myth that hard work and dedication will always have their reward. Like a lot of disadvantaged kids made good, Holyfield is paying the price of poor choices.

“I think it was my lack of education,” he said during a speaking tour to the UK in October. “You make a lot of money but you don’t know how money works, you don’t know how to calculate. I gave more than I should have. People talk you into doing things that you’re not accustomed to doing. Nobody told me I had to ask questions.”

As bad as it is, at least his appearance on car-crash TV is preferable to stepping back in the ring. Holyfield turned 51 last October. He last fought in 2011, a decade or more past his sell-by date. He called himself the “Real Deal”. The waistline of his shorts was inscribed “Warrior”. It is hard to argue with either description.

Those tempted to tune in to the reality rubbish would be far better served logging on to YouTube instead and typing in “Holyfield-Bowe I”. It was Holyfield’s first professional loss but in defeat against a physically younger and bigger man he demonstrated to his bootstraps the courage, commitment and talent that made him the star he was. That bout in 1992 was voted Ring Magazine fight of the year and the 10th round the best of the year.

That’s how I shall remember Holyfield, engaged in towering endeavour not parading around a purpose-built Bedlam clamped to an empty vessel

6.21pm: Evander's doing a *great job of remembering names. "I thought you were Sam?" "No.. I'm Casey

:joker:

:dance:

6.14pm: Evander: "I had no idea we'd be locked up. I knew we'd live together, but I thought we could go to the shops." Oh dear

:joker::joker::joker::joker:

He is a legend

Add me please

I'd like to withdraw from this Evander club please. He's let himself down with his attitude and I had no idea how thick he was, even for a boxer.

It all started so well, He just keeps on digging a hole now.

Oh no! :(

I respect him for what he does for charities and for what hes done in the past but it became quite awkward watching him and his opinions became too controversial.
