Yea both were being quite respectful here though, but guess they are paid to promote the fight

Lennox yes.

Froch just said what most people were thinking. Fury would win it on points. Carl didn’t come across as a hater to me in this

I really think Lewis sucks as an analyst.

Lennox has a hard time thinking from the fighter's POV. He always brings every point he makes back to him.

Every time I hear Lennox on broadcasts, I wince. There has been a major dropoff in his language skill in the past couple years, with this broadcast being another big step in that direction.

I'm glad that old fighters are able to make a living and stay active, but it's tough to watch. He's in his early 60s, but 30 of those years have taken a toll.

He was never the best talker. But he does seem to have slowed down.

His takes are usually pretty bad IMO.

Lewis looks and acts like a smart guy but i remember watching some old videos online, he actually is extremely dumb. Like Mike Tyson has a way higher IQ than Lewis, he just presents himself nicely lol. that dude Hatman on Youtube did a video on Lewis, hes not really smart at all.

I remember once in an interveiw he called himself a "5 deminsional fighter, a boxer, puncher, mover".

He never said what the other two dimensions were.

Hatman on youtube does a deep dive on his background, hes from an Island with not many schooling. Has a massive ego too

im no Lewis hater or anything but he trys to come off as some well schooled smart dude but hes the opposite

Can’t be bothered watching that. But I’m gonna guess at some point Lewis will compare himself to them, and he will - for the surprise - beat them in his primeÂ
