Lewis is and always was full of himself and shiit
At least Thompson was undefeated, Botha had been stopped by Moorer and pole axed by Tyson with one punch before Lewis took him on as a safe opponent for his London showcase.
Grant was undefeated but Lewis fought like a man shiiting himself, big windmill punches, falling in, it was very messy, Lewis happened to be a good heavyweight among mediocre and does alot alot more credit than he earned, he steared well clear of Byrdand only retired because Mike Tyson couldnt be bothered to string a couple of wins together to create interest in a rematch, much like Mayweather and De La Hoya.
It had a little to do with being battered by Vitali but if Mike had put a couple of interesting wins together we would have seen a rematch for sure.
