Lewis vs Rahman I & II

[Spicoli]

Like that you posted both Rahman kos, best and worst. There was a point when I couldn't stand Lewis up until he made Ruddock do his Superman pose on the canvas and went to war with Mercer. I actually think the later is a plus. Lewis did the best you could hope for in terms of 'crossing over' state side and took some getting use too. But before Country, he did all you could ask of a top Heavyweight champion. Took his licks and came back. Bowe, Foreman didn't want him...Tyson, Ruddock, Bruno, Golota, Tua, Holyfield, Mercer, Vitali got him...called out everyone and never dogged it in the ring. Gotta respect that.

His only real loss was to Rahman and that was a lucky punch, (that's what he gets for clowning) the KO loss to McCall was bullshit. In any event he avenged his only 2 losses, and officially ended his career, with 41 wins, 32 by KO and 2 losses, not too shabby.

I thought one of his best efforts was against Vitali, he came into that fight out of shape and overweight and took a pretty good beating before sucking it up and stopping Vitali on cuts. Granted that was a bit early on in Klitschko's career, but nobody since has gotten to Vitali the way Lennox did.

I'm not a fan but I have to admit that he deserves respect for being the last undisputed heavyweight champion

He put on some good shows ... even though most thought he was boring at the time

Him against the elder Klitschko was truly the last great heavyweight bout ... just hoped that his twin robot successors would give us some entertaining fights
