LENNOX LEWIS accomplished more in one boxing career than most people can imagine. His decision to retire as the reigning heavyweight champion of the world in 2004 re-affirmed that this is a man who makes decisions for himself and sticks to his principles.

----------

Lennox's charity is The Muhammad Ali Center.

PERSONAL CONNECTION: Lennox has called Muhammad Ali his "hero since the beginning" and was on hand for the 2005 dedication of the Muhammad Ali Center. The organization works to preserve Ali's legacy, but also serves as a cultural center to promote respect, hope, and understanding.

He looked darned good in that promo his team made. His image and the DEEP voice over totally made it.

He is smart to stay retired from fighting. That business takes an awful toll from your body that you can never pay back.

He seems pretty likeable. He and Piers formed a friendship from this show!
( I know...first Oma and Nely and now Piers and Lennox?)
Seems they are both chess players and Piers got his a$$ whooped by Lennox many...many times!
He will be around for awhile yet.

Well...Lennox and Piers both have a cultural connection also - Lennox is actually British born and spent his first 12 years in London. They also compliment each others personalities - like a perfect marriage !

All I know is that when he farted or as Peirs said "broke wind" Lol..... I lost it!!!!! It took me re-watching it on NBC.com but after I caught it I laughed long and hard.....

got to thank lennox for the good laugh...that put your hand up routine had me laughing so hard i almost peed my pants....

i never saw the guys team laugh so much...so how can you not love the guy

and in my books, anyone that can cause so much fun and laughter and smiles and still win the task, is an unbelievably great leader....

although the guys were thrown a little...they did cooperate and they did have a blast...and they did a fabulous job....so lennox....maybe you are the next apprentice...your style keeps all happy...and happy people are motivated to lift you higher...way to go big guy!!!!

only one thing can slow you down...if omorosa and you have to work together...you will have a hard time getting anything done with her wrapped around your ankle, with her tongue hanging out...hope you won't need to move around too much...but then again...i am sure your legs are massive hunks of muscles...so i am sure you will find away to drag her along...

I like Lennox too...he's hilarious! But I have to say I think we could have done without the edit where Lennox leaves a fart on the last episode! I know they all laughed and thought it was pretty funny, but did we have to hear it!
Thank God we don't have "smello-vision"!
Now if it were celebrity farprentice he will definitely have it hands down!

Lennox is smart enough to know what he doesn't know.

He took advantage of a very creative team, changed the structure to his advantage, earned the respect of Trace and Tito, found a way to rein in Piers and took his team to a win. It may not be the Trump management style but it was very effective.

Trace came up with an incredibly creative concept and the team rallied, allowing a decidedly "macho" group of guys to put together a slam-dunk presentation that simply crushed a team of "shoulda-wons".

Bravo!

At the risk of appearing completely ignorant, I had to google Lennox to find out the background of where his accent is from. It sounds like a mixture of Brittish and Jamaican to me.

Well Mommy...you hit it right on..his parents are from Jamaica and at the age of about 12 he went to live in Canada - boxed as a amateur as a Canadian but as a professional he boxed under British flag.

Lennox is a big child like guy. I never would have expected that from a boxing champ. I think he is totally cool. His charity is something wonderful too.

omg....smello-vision....thanks for the laugh....i missed the fart scene....

the more i see the guy, the more i love him...and what a hottie....got to love anyone that can smile and have fun in the midst of all that stress....we need more like him in this world...

He is a nice guy indeed and he has a GREAT way of controlling Piers. Still he is NOT a leader. Now since this is NOT standard classic apprentice that may not matter. Mr Trump is NOT hiring anyone this time so who cares. Still if he is judged by how well he does as a leader he would fail...he simply did not seem to be able to make a decision on his own and then stand up for it. He was trying to cover his butt. In the end (lol) this could bite him there.

More on the podcast.

Lennox had the best line of the night last night when he called Moronosa "Ghetto". That's putting it mildly. I agree, he may not be the best leader, but he seems like a really nice guy!!

I was looking around for Lennox's thread....as he is still a contender....finally found it...

Wonder if anyone else has noticed him going quietly about his job?

I wonder how he likes being on traces team and actually being used than shown off

Lennox Lewis seemed the best guy on the show as to his character display, calm, collected, yet honest and honourable as to treating others with respect and dignity. Liked the guy. Laidback- ok, you need someone being stable in a group of hyperachievers:), brings balance. Nice guy, glad they made friends with Piers and Carol.
