Brutal Fight Between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis

[@HalleyBay61]

He took tons of steriods which is a stain on his remarkable career as a fighter. But that said, he truly was the real deal. His mentality for a fighter was as good as all those in his generation. I would have 3 altogether that were unmatched in the mental game of that era. Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield Lennox Lewis And BIG George Foreman. Hell, George said that in his 2nd career as a fighter he never threw a punch in anger, not once! Shit man......imagine if he did! I love all 3 of these boxers/fighters, they truly are worthy fighters for all times. As much as I regard Lennox & Evander though, George scares the living hell out of me hahahah

While I was no Lennox fan, when they called that first fight a draw I stopped watching heavy weight boxing. It was so blatantly evident that Lewis dominated the overwhelming majority of the rounds, just plain outboxing Evander, that I lost all respect for this division. Lennox was cheated of a decisive victory and I enjoy these sports to watch champions battle not to see graft or politics or a desire to restage a fight for more money. Thankfully the UFC happened and as far as boxing goes I have no regrets from leaving the sport as an enthusiastic observer.
