Prime Lewis fought Donovan Ruddock .. Lewis was 6"5 227lbs.. that Lewis smokes both Klitchko brothers something fierce..
I guess my idea of prime Lewis is different to the real prime Lewis, being 19 years of age! While not being at the prime of his physical assets, his experience was unmatched in the Vitali, Tyson, Holyfield and Rahman II days.
all that weight he added after Ruddock was a huge mistake.. Lewis was at his best or in his prime early as a result .. much faster hands at 19 20 years old. when he got up to the slow methodical 240's all of a sudden he lost his best asset.. handspeed ! .. Cool click in 24 !
He still had a degree of speed in his jab though, and I have seen some of the really really early Lennox, he was an all out banger, did he not carry some of this early ferocity into his later performances, because the way he dealt with Holyfield and Tyson was nothing short of masterful.
