Agree with many of the observations already made, especially those discussing Lennox's lack of consistency, Evander winning the rematch, the Mercer fight being close, and the 90's having tougher/more respectable competition. Some additional thoughts/observations:
1) Other great heavyweight fights of the 90's: Ibeabuchi vs Tua, Holyfield vs Bowe, Holyfield vs Tyson, Holyfield vs Mercer, Lewis vs Mercer and Foreman vs Moorer.
2) I'm not convinced that Lewis beats Wlad every time. I would make Lennox the favorite as I think he was sturdier and beat better competition, but Wlad is a little faster and more mobile than Lewis. I can see Wlad having a slightly longer reach and being a little quicker of hand and feet and causing Lennox some serious problems. Lennox fought well against Grant, who was tall, but seemed to struggle vs Akinwande in between all the clutching. I can see Lennox eventually catching Wlad with a big right, especially late when Wlad tires out, but I can also see Lennox being caught by a big right from Wlad and having issues with Wlads jab and movement.
