John Rawling quotes Emanuel Steward in an excellent piece in the Guardian:

Interesting, alot of pro-klitchko supporters think its the other way around. Johnson is quite a big name in Canada and a Lewis vs Johnson match (a match up between the two of their nations finest amateurs) would be a big match - and also an easy victory for Lennox.

This is not a dig at Lewis in anyway but I can see the logic, I think he's hoping for a Johnson win.

Yes, that's a good point. I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis is rooting for Johnson. Manny Steward seems to be a bit of a loose cannon verbally of late. He says he was misquoted when he said Lewis would never fight again a couple of months ago, but here he is saying virtually the same thing.
