Lewis vs Rahman I & II

[Mars_ax]

Lennox Lewis was one of my favorite fighters, nobody gave this muther-fucker anything, he took names kicked ass, and when he lost he came back like a Champion to settle the score. IMHO, one of the most underrated Heavyweight Champions, he fought everyone who was anyone.

Lewis vs. Rahman I



Lewis vs. Rahman II



Thoughts?

Wouldnt go anywhere near his mandatory Chris Byrd

Lucky to get the decision against Mercer and was just as much to blame as Akinwande for holding and I think Akinwande even dropped him but it didnt get called?

Laugh all you want, Lewis dropped the IBF to fight Kirk Johnson () instead of Chris Byrd.

Lewis dropped/was stripped by the IBF because he was contemplating retirement. While he was doing this Don King in conjunction with the IBF were able to cash-in on a Holyfield-Byrd fight.

No TV company, promoter, fighter or fan ever gave a shit about Lewis-Byrd (hilarious). The WBC were threatening to strip him too because he was so inactive.

Lewis only came back for Johnson because it was a massive PPV double-header with Tyson to set up the rematch. Tyson pulled out, Johnson pulled out and Lewis ended up taking Vitali.

I see the wink, - My guess is there probably wasn't any money in it, if LL ever fought Chis Byrd it would have been bye-bye byrdie and/or gone to be with Jesus.

I agree. But this seems more like a "I like Lennox Lewis thread". What did you want to say about the 1st and 2nd Rahman fights?

Nothing other then what I said in the OP, Lewis got his ass handed to him in the 1st fight, but came back like a Champion in the 2nd.

FWIW, I wasn't always a fan of LL and this isn't a "I like Lennox Lewis thread", I just believe that he didn't get the credit he deserved as a HW Champion.

Oh, well then I agree. I love the fact that when he knocked Rahman out, his head landed in the O of the Don King logo and it looked like he was wearing the crown. One of the best one-two punches ever.

Lewis is someone i'd love to sit down with, have a few Red Stripes and talk about boxing, hell, i'd even buy the beer. Lennox is another one of those pugs who came from humble beginnings and mostly through their own initiative along with a big set of cojones became HW Champion of the World. Yes he could be an arrogant ass, but I think a lot of that was because he didn't get the respect he rightfully deserved.
Happy New Year LL, you did it your way.

You wanna sit down with Lennox Lewis and have a beer? What did you do for New years? Creosote a fence?
I wanna go on the lash with Ricardo Mayorga in a Nicaraguan brothel...

Lewis was a quality heavyweight and a quality individual. He is still a classy guy. He made the most of his abilities and would have held his own in any era.
