looks out for number one, no doubt about it. One of his genius practices is
taking jurors on exotic vacations once they find him not guilty of his latest
escapades. Of course, the jury pool knows this, so it increases the odds that
he'll get off. King has committed his share of transgressions, but you've got
to love the fact that like a cockroach, he survives through everything. For all
his bad points, the guy was really a spectacular promoter of events. He screwed
the fighters and lined his own pockets, but he filled stadiums like no one
before or since. I talk about him in the past tense because there just isn't
the talent there right now for dream matchups---to make the kind of impact that
Ali, Frazier, Foreman, etc. did back in the day (not to mention Leonard, Duran,
Hearns, Hagler, etc.). Hell, give me an in-prime "Dynamite" Dokes now, and he'd
probably rule the heavies! That's sad! Here's one to contemplate: Tex Cobb vs.
David Tua! I'd love to see everyone's pick on this! For my money, it would be
a 10 round draw with no knockdowns, but a whole lot of swelling! |

beaten Tua in about the same way he beat Ernie Shavers ! His style was so odd,
he threw punches like he was knocking the door !|

there we are the retirement of Lennox Lewis and boxing is much the poorer for
it.No, he was not as good as Ali, Louis, maybe not even Foreman, Frazier or
Holmes but he was a wonderful boxer who dominated the toughest scene for over 10
years and would just slot into the top 10 of all time heavyweights.It was
not his fault that he didn't fight in the top generation but he defeated more no
1 fighters than anyone in history-Holyfield, Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Ruddock,
Bruno and Tucker from one generation, and Tua, Rahman, Klitschko, Golota from
another. Although he should have fought more in the last couple of years, what
no boxing fan must forget is that Tyson DELIBERATELY avoided him in 1996 and
Bowe did the same in 1992-maybe management were at fault but his willingness to
fight both and his calls for each fight determine his bottle. Please remember
that he was willing to fight both of these!Although he was defeated by
average heavies his comeback wins prove something as well-so no not in the class
of Ali, Loius and Frazier but damn close.Lewis has done an enormus amount
for boxing. A class apart in the ring and outside of it. As good as both are,
Tyson is a rapist and Bowe beat his wife to a pulp-not pleasant to think of but
some people will slant Lewis and prop up these two as 'heroes'-wonderful
fighters yes but not decent human beings at allShame Quarry, Shavers and
Lyle from the unheralded era aren't around now. I think they would have a
feast.|
