Well said that man...There's just too many childish cretins wandering around RUclips, criticizing and mocking other people's efforts and achievements, and ridiculing their personal lives.... And we ALL know what type of bloke feels the need to broadcast their 'hatred' and utter 'disgust' for gay men... it's always the repressed gay man, the gay man living in utter denial, seething with anger, struggling with his own repressed homosexuality and desires... An ex-girlfriend of mine worked for a national newspaper in England, she worked as a 'researcher' - for want of a better word - in the sports department, researching for the paper's leading sports journalists, and Lennox Lewis being gay was one of those 'known' things, just like in the music business, 'everybody' knew, for example, about Elton John being gay, and they knew about George Michael being gay... and it's the same with Lennox Lewis.... Love to see any of these half-witted gay-bashers call him a 'fag' to his face.
Slimreaper256, the guys seem like comes uninvited to these places n forces ppl into interviews. Most of the time, these boxers r busy doing something n he just starts throwing questions at them, meanwhile he kissing their ass.
I'd like to see RJ attempt to be closer than "15 ft" from an opponent that can KICK the snot out of you. How can a reporter be so emotionally attached to his sport and be so subjective when it comes to mma vs boxing... half your vids mention McGregor. You should praise him for all the content he provided you with.
Of course the old heavyweights would win right now in their 40's and even 50's....there is NO ONE out there. Deontay Wilder? A number 12 or less heavyweight in the 90's rankings.
cb yeah Ellie is a loser he's all but hurt because Conor played his hatin ass and wouldn't talk to him, he wasn't talkin no shit in front of Conor he was kissing ass
Roy won by fighting. Love Roy. Lewis was a tall coward who won by avoiding fighting. He would probably get dropped by Little Mac in a real fight. His long legs are great targets
For anybody who knows anything, Conor was not trying to imitate Roy Jones in the Alvarez fight. He was holding his right hand behind his back because it was injured and that was his way of reminding himself to throw it less often.
Joe Calzaghe and Lennox Lewis were experts at picking opponents at the right time but no one complains about them. Calzaghe had a very unimpressive career, and the only big names on his resume came against men who were well past their prime. Bernard Hopkin, Nigel Benn, Steve Colin's, Chris Eubank, Roy Jones, Robin Reid.. Etc...Calzaghe went on to defend his belt against the likes of Omar Sheika, Mario Veit, Charles Brewer, Byron Mitchell, Kabary Salem, and Evans Ashira. None of these opponents ever came remotely close in their career to being a top-level fighter. Lewis will most likely go down as one of the most intelligent, calculated champions ever. Lennox was able to capitalize on Tyson's jail term to reign as champion, then got out before the Klitchko brothers could undo the legacy he has manufactured for himself. He stayed an extra 4 years as an amateur to win a gold metal against younger opponents (Riddick Bowe for the medal bout). He then became champion only because Bowe gave up the title. He backed out of Tyson's way (accepting a huge multi-million dollar payoff from Don King as payment for Tyson taking his ranking) as he was climbing back up to regain the championship that was handed to him. I believe that history will judge him for the fake that he truly is.
So Lennox got the jump on Bowe by approaching him during training camp to tell him he was gonna kick his ass! Smh. Got in his head early, won that fight, regardless he got the win, and apparently Bowe never forgot. I don't wanna feel it, but curious what those punches felt like.
That would be fascinating for Lennox to make a come back right now. Think he may struggle with a few, depends how age has affected him. Deontay I see as his biggest threat due to his chin and his power. Wlad can be KOed, Fury is a question mark, Joshua is too slow on the feet.
this is Roy Jones Jr. commentating on a boxing match ( yeah he hit him with the 1, 2 and uppercut and when mamma pulls the biscuits out of the oven its supper time baby the sweet science )
I always find it funny when boxers get asked these questions,and pretty sure they understand it but just put on a show.when you box for a living especially at pro I don't care what boxer you are too great to mediocre all these men are warriors.i doubt any of them would back down to any weight regardless if there may be a disadvantage in strength.but that's the reason why they have weight classes to no have that issue.
I love when the old heads stalk shit FREAKING LEGEND IN THE RING PERIOD, my God I'm gonna miss that generation, I love being my age, a lil younger than them so could look up to them, I can still remember Roy laying dudes out like it was sparring practice, but please a Roy for the love of God don't get back into the ring till this day I hate that he fought past his prime like Ali, and Tyson, please Roy don't do it
when my mom or grandma see me watching mma they think it's gay and they say boxing is a manly sport. I realized that their are a lot of idiots that think like they do. I love both sports but mma is way more entertaining to me and it bewilders me to hear people say boxing is more manly than mma.
I grew up in a latin culture where Boxing is King. I try to show the older generation how great MMA is but they will just not accept it. They think it has no honor because you keep hitting the fighter when he's hurt. The younger generation is on board though and enjoy it much more than Boxing. It's the future of combat sports.
Chris Y Boxing is slowly killing itself. I use to love Boxing, grew up watching and attending matches. Saw Holyfield, Chavez, De la Hoya all fight live. But I got sick of all the bad decisions, crooked promoters... Boxing is also not promoting new stars like they use to and if kids don't get into boxing young, then they don't become fans. UFC and MMA in general are marketing and promoting the sport correctly. Plus MMA is more exciting than Boxing anyway. Its a sport that doesn't encourage decisions and thats a good thing.
Darby Crash yes like you said boxing needs to promote their events better because most of the time I don't know there's a fight coming up till I see it on tv. ufc advertises their fights everywhere
Do you consider yourself a reporter? Because all you is make bias ass statements and let the fighter respond, so it's a tainted or fake response. Here's a tip ask a question: What do you think about Conor using your move in the octagon? then shut up and let him answer. What you did, Conor used your move in the octagon but he was 15 feet away.....SMFH that's a statement CS not a question.....
Floyd would wear conor down like an old car tire.The fight would never happen because mayweather knows that conor would be in it for just for the money and go down in the 1st round,then he'd retire from the sport.
harry pot lol a bunch of wrestlers throwing wild punches and kicks? Naw. That's why McGregor got him a Boxing license. He's realized there's nothing left for him there. Time to step up to the man sport.
JWCFIGHTFAN To fight under set rules and restrictions makes it 'the man sport'? 'Okay we will fight it out like men, but you can't do this, this and this..' GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. Here is a prime example of the dominance MMA holds over boxing- if you put Conor mcgregor in a cage with Floyd mayweather, Floyd will NOT last. If you put Conor in a ring against Floyd, most likely Conor would NOT be able to last. Keeping that in mind, if you put them in a cage/ring with no set rules, Floyd would DIE. Boxing is a dying sport and the biggest headline it can make is when they bring up an MMA fighter stepping into the boxing world against Mayweather, lol.
Uneducated comment Stark Zwillig. This is whats wrong with most of you boxing fans, its always gotta be 'the best'. You can't just accept MMA is obviously superior in every aspect, and if it really came down to competition of humping people, boxers would win with the hugging it out and taking breaks mid fight.
I think these guys are behind the times. The UFC guys don't run and dance like Mayweather. Mayweather is not a Mike Tyson. He's a great bicyclist! riding his bike in a boxing match. Come on Mayweather your not gonna win against a super dominant striker. So don't take the McGregor fight. Go out like Seinfeld. Undefeated!
infonator1 you watched 2 fights and don't know shit about the history of floyd. do ur research on his career then come back with that dumb ass assessment of how he fought in his entire career. another internet person who don't know shit about boxing! Tyson got knocked the fuck out by a boxer!
infonator1 that's y they don't last long in the sport. Floyd has fought for majority of his life more than 80% of it. mma fighters don't last 10yrs on top of the sport. Stop comparing the 2. it's impossible. delusional to the highest form. you people are the worst..
Met Lennox a few weeks ago. He couldn't have been nicer.
I like him at facebook. He responds sometimes, likes your reply's. Most other stars don't bother. Lennox seems like a real good guy.
I met him on Grindr yesterday, he just left my place... Ehrm wait, what?
Bryce Cherry He likes em twinks. He is called the prostate scrambler throughout the grind'r world.............i was told
Well said that man...There's just too many childish cretins wandering around RUclips, criticizing and mocking other people's efforts and achievements, and ridiculing their personal lives....

Samuel Young LOL
He wasn't imitating Roy. Elle stop it. You need counseling for this Conor thing.
Slimreaper256, the guys seem like comes uninvited to these places n forces ppl into interviews. Most of the time, these boxers r busy doing something n he just starts throwing questions at them, meanwhile he kissing their ass.
Can't Nobody.. Nobody in the present or future do what RJJr did.....Y'all must have forgot
Terry Jackson they sure did forget
No one beats a prime Roy. The best that ever did it.
Unless it's Sugar Ray Robinson, or Marvin Hagler
Prime RJJ is unbeatable... Going up to heavyweight to take the title. Unreal! Coming back down in weight was his downfall
Roy always seems to come across as approachable
Come on now at one point Roy was the man he just carried on for to long thats all. This guy is a hall of fame fighter no doubt about it.
I might be guilty myself of not celebrating Lennox properly, but his skills are what made him the champ - truth be told.
Harold Lederman in the background being ignored LMAO !
I seriously hope this muppet grabbed Harold right after this segment.
I'd like to see RJ attempt to be closer than "15 ft" from an opponent that can KICK the snot out of you. How can a reporter be so emotionally attached to his sport and be so subjective when it comes to mma vs boxing... half your vids mention McGregor. You should praise him for all the content he provided you with.
peace roman Trophimov. the streets is a different story frm the mma/ cages, octagon.
Two of the best of their era giving props to each other and telling the truth! Respect
So much legendary vibe in here!
Of course the old heavyweights would win right now in their 40's and even 50's....there is NO ONE out there. Deontay Wilder? A number 12 or less heavyweight in the 90's rankings.
02:02 Roy's face="I BEAT HIM"
Indeed lol
Rather unhealthy obsession with Conor,
Elie has lost his mind!
cb lol
cb yeah Ellie is a loser he's all but hurt because Conor played his hatin ass and wouldn't talk to him, he wasn't talkin no shit in front of Conor he was kissing ass
they leave that out always hahahaha yell
Conor is the biggest story in boxing right now (like it or not, and I don't) so it's not surprising to ask about him.
mymentor era I think you are forgetting without mayweather mcgreggor is nothing in boxing.lol dumb ass
No better boxer than Roy Jones Junior in his prime. Never seen anything like it.
thats true yeh.
Pragmatic1 Ultramagnetic Sugar Ray Robinson
Roy won by fighting. Love Roy. Lewis was a tall coward who won by avoiding fighting. He would probably get dropped by Little Mac in a real fight. His long legs are great targets
They don't make boxers🥊like Jones and Lewis anymore.
i rate lennox 2 greatest heavyweight champion after Ali
Hahah roy jones is always so humble
Ellie, great job on interview questions bro. wish I was that good.
lol Lederman chillin in the back
Roy is one of those guys you just like to hear talk. I wish someone would bring him on as a full time commentator.
Whats the song playing at the beginning of this video?
For anybody who knows anything, Conor was not trying to imitate Roy Jones in the Alvarez fight. He was holding his right hand behind his back because it was injured and that was his way of reminding himself to throw it less often.
Yea, but I would try to warm up to these champs too. I am fight fan and I am impressed by their accomplishments.
Connor vs. Floyd with Anderson Vs. RRJ as co-main event opener, Make it Happen!
is this guy that annoying dude that's always hanging around?
strattus99 yea that one weirdo...that's him 😂
How come that's me just noticing Roy jones jnr is the double of Cuba gooding jnr
Correction Elie, Roy went from 154lb division to heavyweight
Two very skilled fighters
@ 2:45 - BEAUUUUTIFUL STATEMENT!!!!
I hope Chilemba can recover well from his injury.
Two greats pure class
Roy seems like a cool brother
Roy jones Jr one of the greatest legendary champion in 5 weight divisions
Two great Legends right here.
Joe Calzaghe and Lennox Lewis were experts at picking opponents at the right time but no one complains about them.

hey dude what kind of event is this? i also want to go and talk to people like this :)
🇬🇧 Lennox Big up g 👑
Just met Lennox a few hours ago at the blue oyster bar in Brompton St , he looked a bit different there.
What you mean different?
Daaaamn.... Roy Jones just said why not him and Anderson Silva be the opening fight for Connor McGregor and Mayweather!
That would be classic... !
How could this have been published in Nov 2016 when MacGregor just sparred with Paul the week of 07-19-17???????
RJJ a true boxing great.
2 of the greatest fighters Legends of all time.
Got to say, having watched the fight, Roy was spot on!
RJJ my favourite of all time!
+Michael Colicino Eeerrrr, ok, sure....
yea ok
So Lennox got the jump on Bowe by approaching him during training camp to tell him he was gonna kick his ass! Smh. Got in his head early, won that fight, regardless he got the win, and apparently Bowe never forgot. I don't wanna feel it, but curious what those punches felt like.
If I recall Lennox's trump card used to be his raw power and range.
Is this reporter Eric Molina?
Connor was a lot closer then 15ft when he put his hands behind his back lol. That's like 2/3 the length of the octagon lol
First time I ever heard Lennox Lewis swear.
That would be fascinating for Lennox to make a come back right now. Think he may struggle with a few, depends how age has affected him. Deontay I see as his biggest threat due to his chin and his power. Wlad can be KOed, Fury is a question mark, Joshua is too slow on the feet.
Somebody should let McGregor know that you cant tap in boxing
did Roy just put himself on the damn undercard as co-main event!? lol
this is Roy Jones Jr. commentating on a boxing match ( yeah he hit him with the 1, 2 and uppercut and when mamma pulls the biscuits out of the oven its supper time baby the sweet science )
Mike Dlc LOL
i'm glad i made you laugh my friend
How far do you think 15 feet is?
I didn't understand a word ROY JONES JR said.
Gotta love the Legends
my CHAMPS!!
I always find it funny when boxers get asked these questions,and pretty sure they understand it but just put on a show.when you box for a living especially at pro I don't care what boxer you are too great to mediocre all these men are warriors.i doubt any of them would back down to any weight regardless if there may be a disadvantage in strength.but that's the reason why they have weight classes to no have that issue.
two class acts man!!!
yep, he was 15 feet away and moments later he was the champ champ!
Lmao! I love Roy putting himself into the big payday with Him vs Spider. Awesome idea! Lbs! Let's make it happen!!
The man who dethroned Mike Tyson
I'd love to comment but was unable to understand most of what Roy had to say.
Good guys
I love when the old heads stalk shit FREAKING LEGEND IN THE RING PERIOD, my God I'm gonna miss that generation, I love being my age, a lil younger than them so could look up to them, I can still remember Roy laying dudes out like it was sparring practice, but please a Roy for the love of God don't get back into the ring till this day I hate that he fought past his prime like Ali, and Tyson, please Roy don't do it
Lennox has some balls...a guy who.was running away from.shannon briggs and got flattened by a depression case...some balls
when my mom or grandma see me watching mma they think it's gay and they say boxing is a manly sport. I realized that their are a lot of idiots that think like they do. I love both sports but mma is way more entertaining to me and it bewilders me to hear people say boxing is more manly than mma.

Darby Crash yes like you said boxing needs to promote their events better because most of the time I don't know there's a fight coming up till I see it on tv. ufc advertises their fights everywhere
the only interesting part about mma is when both fighters are standing not grouping or fingering each other
Hate Lennox for beating my Tyson but he is just one cool dude.
Do you consider yourself a reporter? Because all you is make bias ass statements and let the fighter respond, so it's a tainted or fake response. Here's a tip ask a question: What do you think about Conor using your move in the octagon? then shut up and let him answer.

It's sad to see when an athlete fails to accept the fact that their glory days are over!
LEGENDS!!!!
The truth is Roy Jones fought a hand picked hw he could beat.Roy is one of the all time greats.
Lennox ! always a class act
Ayo didn't this nigga Roy Jones Jr drop a album!?and his shit flopped😨😕
Roy Jones Jr. Got dropped in the ring like his music career dropped
delirious
Lennox Lewis and Roy Jones - man those 2 cats are gods!!!!
stone island NO they are not
They are only men
Wow, what a surprise, another Esnews video with Conor Mcgregor's name in it.
Lenox the best Heavyweight of all times.Ali the best chin
These guys have no clue. They know boxing. They don't follow UFC.
15 feet away??? When
Harold Lederman trying to sneak in...
Never seen Lennox without the dreads.
Roy started at 154 not 160.
the 2 greatest ever!!!!
No disrespect to Roy but, no is going to buy Anderson Silva vs Roy Jones. The window has already closed on that shit!!!
That old guy behind Lennox lawl
That could be Harold Lederman. Not sure though...
roy jonrs good to see you my nigga. 0:11
how would RJJ v Lennox Lewis played out comparedto ruiz
Isac got his ass whooped that night.
I loved Roy @ middle weight ...Heavy weight not so much lol
Mayweather is a small Mohamid Ali. Dances and stings. He doesn't brawl!
Floyd would wear conor down like an old car tire.The fight would never happen because mayweather knows that conor would be in it for just for the money and go down in the 1st round,then he'd retire from the sport.
how tall is roy jones 5'9? 5'10?
5'10 .. 5'11
Ive not got a clue what RJJ was saying
Roy. Steve Collins want u to call him🥊
Just make em look like dey aint nobody yall musta forgot
Boxers are upset because they are no longer the baddest,and it's that simple dimple.
silent mental aporoach - That's the one of the most stupid things i've ever read.
harry pot lol a bunch of wrestlers throwing wild punches and kicks? Naw. That's why McGregor got him a Boxing license. He's realized there's nothing left for him there. Time to step up to the man sport.
JWCFIGHTFAN To fight under set rules and restrictions makes it 'the man sport'? 'Okay we will fight it out like men, but you can't do this, this and this..'
