Lewis vs Rahman I & II

[TysonBomb]

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.

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?

Chris Byrd LMAO

Ray Mercer - a common myth! Watch the fight and score each round independantly - Lewis won fact

Akinwande - LMAO

Ross generally - LMAO

Another Big H beatdown. Send Ross to the burn unit.

Yeah, ouch...

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.

Tyson vs Lewis II was never made

Don King was preventing it so Lewis sued him

Tyson signed to fight Maskaev on the Lewis-Johnson undercard to set-up Lewis-Tyson II. But Tyson pulled out.

King was blamed for bribing Tyson and stuff. Lewis sued them both, for fucking up his original bill (which he fought Vitali on) and costing him millions by blowing the rematch.

I can't find anything on Lewis suing Tyson for that

As far as I know, Don King prevented the entire thing from ever transpiring... Tyson wanted a rematch and was the one to propose it and challenge Lewis (needed the big payday to get him out of debt) and Lewis certainly would like to fight Mike again (huge payday involved for him as well and probably to further "enhance" his legacy).

And lets not get carried away over Lewis' chin ... it was OK but certainly wasn't anything better than "OK." Fact is that he did get one shotted TWICE ... once in an exchange and the other when he was taunting his opponent. Yes he did "avenge" both losses in rematches but McCall was in no shape to fight when they fought for the second time ... he was literally taken out of rehab and was acting bizarre weeks leading up to the fight. He did beat Rahman but I can't give him too much credit for "beating" Oliver McCall. And those who like to bring this point up of him "avenging" his losses, well why didn't he give that opportunity to Vitali Klitschko? Lewis was knocked unconscious by both McCall and Rahman (no lucky punches in boxing IMO, so I'm not buying that Rahman got in with a "lucky punch") but a more controversial fight where Lewis was losing on the scorecards of all the judges and managed to escape with a TKO victory on cuts doesn't warrant a rematch Just a year earlier he was pounding his chest acting high and mighty after beating the ghost of Mike Tyson yet now he's running away from a rematch from a guy who fought him on short notice?

He even verbally said that he would fight him again "if the money was right" and this fight would have been just as lucrative if not more lucrative as a rematch with Tyson. From the looks of it, Vitali ran Lewis into retirement. He declined him the same opportunities which were given to him against Rahman and McCall.

Bottom line is that ... Lennox Lewis ducked a rematch fight with Vitali Klitschko. I don't recall Mike Tyson or any of the highly regarded heavyweight champions of the past ducking anyone into retirement.
