Lennox Lewis pallbearer?

Post by sonnyboyx2 »

I could understand if Larry Holmes, Ernie Shavers, Joe Bugner or Leon Spinks was a pallbearer for Muhammad Ali at his funeral. BUT Lennox Lewis ?? hmmm i wonder if it is because Lewis donated $1 million to the Muhammad Ali Foundation?.. Lennox Lewis is known for "Stealing other fighters thunder" Lewis turned up in the ring in Germany, when Tyson Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko. just one of the many times Lewis has gotton in on the picture, when he is not wanted. Now he has managed to gatecrash the funeral of Muhammad Ali ... Why?
Lewis has zero affiliation to the career of Muhammad Ali.

Because they were close freinds and Ali asked for Lennox to do it. Simple enough answer for you?

No, YOU have zero affiliation to the career of Muhammad Ali. I agree with Ricky_ on this one.

Muhammad Ali made his own funeral arrangements years ago, so I guess his wishes are being carried out.

Ali loved England. He was accepted there before he was accepted in his homeland, overall speaking.

The combination of England and boxing makes LL an excellent choice for Ali.

Exactly. This thread is in poor taste.

So you think Lennox managed to infiltrate the will and family without anyone knowing? Hacked an email? Gtfoh, he was obviously close with Ali. Will Smith spent a ton of time with him preparing for a film role. Some of these threads should be deleted. Pay your respects, share memories or don't. Nobody gives any fucks about your thouggts on the funeral arrangements.

If Lennox Lewis is a pallbearer for Muhammad, then it's because Ali wanted him to be.

Lonnie Ali was a great wife to the champ & she would not let anyone take liberties with Muhammad, even members of his own family, so there is no way Lennox Lewis would be muscling in without consent.

What an absolute bell end.

Did Lennox Lewis get in the ring to steal thunder or was he asked to as part of his announcer job?

I don't know how true it is but I read that Ali's funeral was planned down to a T with the man himself giving consent, and changes were made in the days just prior to his death.

Lewis comes across as nothing but a thoughtful considerate man, he's there because they want him to be. No one gives a fornicate what you think about it.

You already posted this cancer elsewhere, and got some pretty reasonable explanations.

fornicating bizarre behaviour. You know you've made it big in life when fruitloops on the internet start trolling each other over your pallbearers. This garbage thread should be deleted.

TBH that thread has some right fecking arseholes too. Lots of people questioning it, suggesting alternatives but the logical saying it how it is - It was not some sort of lottery where the winner carries the coffin. It would have been decided either by the big man himself and his family or just the family themselves and chosen from who they felt was the right people to do the job based on their relationship off camera and away from the media.

i hate hollywood and all the stupid stuff around it, the fakeness, again the total fackness.

lewis and will smith pallbearer at muhammad ali funeral, so fake.

the the women of ali doesnt like his brother, who was arguably aside from his parents the most important person in his world, and aside his chidlren etc. but his brother is no pallbearer, but will fuc/()ing smith :brick: a family friend, oh yeah...and than lewis. come on, its fake bs

same as the ceremony of michael jackson where magic johnson and all the celebritys acted like cloth mj friends and how great he was.

truth his, the bodyguards of michael jackson said "where were all the a celebetriys when michael jackson was alive, the man was so lonely"

George Chuvalo should be a pallbearer.
