Lewis is Canadian, I'm sure I saw him win an Olympic gold medal for Canada.

Where would Joe Calzaghe rate? Probably the closest boxer of recent years to Lewis in terms of ability and achievement.

My sporting hero growing up was Ian Botham. He had a great winning attitude, huge talent and a wonderfully condescending attitude to the press.

He was a winner who didn't give a stuff what anyone else thought. And I like that.
