LENNOX LEWIS:

If you missed the chat session with the last undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, check out the entire transcript to see what he had to say about the current state of the heavyweight division. "I don't see anybody right now, you know what I mean? There's only one Lennox Lewis and I don't see anybody like that. Guys that would last 1, 2 or 3 rounds with me are taking these guys the distance. Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant fight," he stated and you don't want to miss what else he had to say about David Haye, Chris Arreola, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and much more.

TheHype: FightHype would like to welcome the Emperor, Lennox Lewis, to tonight's chat session.

LENNOX LEWIS: Yo, what's good?

JonnyBlaze: Lennox,HUGE fan here..I still can't stop watchin all your fights..I was wondering who are some of your favorite fighters these days??Do you prefer watching skill or brawling??

LENNOX LEWIS: Thanks. I like watching the 147 pounders.

LENNOX LEWIS: Paul Williams, Margarito, Floyd and Cotto.

Boxingstill#1: Hey Lennox,...Huge fan here, thx for joining ...What was your take on Cotto Margarito?....What do you see in Margaritos future?

LENNOX LEWIS: Margarito is great man. He's a big guy that applies a lot of pressure. I can definitely see why guys are running from him. He's a terror. He's the truth right now. Styles make fights and we'll see what happens.

LENNOX LEWIS: I just finished a run. Sounds like a comeback!

LENNOX LEWIS: LOL

hardhead: Big repsect to Lewis. I think you're doing a good job commentating

LENNOX LEWIS: Thank you! I just speak it how I see it. I think it's great to have a person like myself and Emanuel to call these fights.

fenderdg3: Big Ups Lennox, Of all your accomplishments which one are you personally most proud of? BTW how is that S.D.N.A comming along? Finally, thanks for taking the time out of schedule to be with us tonight!!

LENNOX LEWIS: All of them are. Whether it was winning the All-Canadian titles, the world heavyweight titles...they're all unique in there own way.

LENNOX LEWIS: The Olympics!

kyleclees: hey lennox , who do you see actually bringing the heavyweight division back to its old school dominace? or is it dead and burried?

LENNOX LEWIS: I don't see anybody right now, you know what I mean? There's only one Lennox Lewis and I don't see anybody like that. Guys that would last 1, 2 or 3 rounds with me are taking these guys the distance. Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant fight!

gopgop: What do you think of David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko in 18 months from now?

LENNOX LEWIS: I think it will be a great fight. I think Haye has a lot more natural ability than Wladimir and he has great quickness and power.

simonELNINO: thanks for the time lennox. We just had Chris Arreola in the chat room. you've seen him fight a couple of times. what's your impressions of him?

LENNOX LEWIS: I think he's tough. He's prepared to go toe-to-toe with anybody because he's not going to break easily. Tough, good guts and great will. He has a basic boxing style. He doesn't really worry about defense as much as he should. Some boxers become fighters and some fighters become boxers so he has a good starting point.

damarvelous1: I see you mentioned Floyd earlier. How does Floyd fit in with the rest of the Welterweights? Floyd Vs Margarito, who wins?

LENNOX LEWIS: I don't think that fight will ever come about (laughing). There such an apparent legacy to uphold. I just hear him talk about Oscar, but that's old.

LENNOX LEWIS: I do like Paul Williams.

marzb: what do you think of Melvina Lathan being named the boxing comissioner of New York??

LENNOX LEWIS: Oh, I dont know about that. I plead the 5th on that.

LENNOX LEWIS: I might get incriminated. I cannot give you an answer.

TheHype: FightHype would like to thank the Emperor, Lennox Lewis, for taking time out to chat with us tonight.

LENNOX LEWIS: I'm always doing my best to give the people what they want. I'm glad to be able to commentate and share my knowledge.

LENNOX LEWIS: Thanks FightHype!
