Lennox Lewis

knockout of unbeaten Michael Spinks in 91 seconds). Despite always being, at 5-foot-10, the smaller man in the ring while fighting in an era that spawned the birth of the super-heavyweights that we know today, the Tyson of the 1980s reduced opponents to shambles. He stripped them of whatever game plan they entered with and instantly transformed their climate into survival mode. Even before Tyson ran across the ring at the opening bell to bob and weave in his custom, Cus D'Amato-taught style, before exploding upward to land his patented left hook-right uppercut combination, he already had them. No coincidence, he had us to. The same fear he instilled in opponents resonated even more deeply with the viewer at home. He made Ray Lewis look about as terrifying as Carl Lewis. There was palpable electricity in the air before every Tyson fight. Somehow you felt excited, nervous and guilty all at the same time, as if you were about to watch an organized crime play out in front of you -- and yet a TV screen and thousands of miles of distance weren't adequate protection from it and then there was the destruction Tyson left in his wake. It plays like hyperbole today, but most truly believed -- albeit while caught up in the moment during the fighter's three-year run as champion -- that Tyson would retire undefeated. Suddenly, it didn't matter the level of competition he was facing or the predictable nature of the outcome. It was like watching the NBA's Olympic "Dream Team" play -- only if…

suspicions of Ross and Lennox. The dinner started fairly normal with the delightful smell of roasted beef roaming every hallway in the palace overpowering the stench of the uncleaned floors and unchanged drapes. However, ross began to realize something was extensively unusual such as Macbeth’s hallucinations. Also, Macbeth seemed as if he hadn’t slept in days with wrinkles at…

For most of human history, people have spent their lives changing. Our ancestors lived very different lives from us, and our descendents are likely to also live different lives. However, sometimes change happens over a very long time, and one lifetime may not be enough experimenting with the world. There are many different ways to live today, but humans have settled into a single life without first seeing what else there is to do, and the pain of not knowing what the world has to offer can cause…

for who you are. All those memories share together, to realize that you found the one who you’re willing to spend the rest of your life with. Is that special person that can make your face light up, your palms sweat, and experience a flutter of electricity racing through your body. You’re in love. Until he or she decides that relationship is not the same and break your heart by letting you go. In the album “Spirit”, Leona Lewis demonstrates how painful it is to go through a breakup and moving…

It is a statement all readers can certainly agree with as Alice makes her way through a plethora of different, but equally disturbing settings. Her journey begins simply enough at the bank of a river with her sister, when out of the blue, a white, clothed, talking* rabbit hops past her. Alice hastily follows it right into an…
