Lewis should be thinking Tua, not Tyson
By MICHAEL TALBOT -- SLAM! Boxing
Lennox Lewis seems to be riding a building wave of false security. The ease in which he has disposed of his last two sacrificial lambs (M. Grant and F. Botha), has convinced Lewis that he is untouchable. And while confidence is a nescessary ingredient for success, overconfidence often leads to a head on crash with reality.
With that in mind, the biggest mistake Lennox Lewis can make at this point in his career is to overlook David Tua.
