A lot of people give LL a hard time. He's not my favorite fighter - he always came off as arrogant - but he was definitely the most solid HW of the last decade or so. Size, skills, and mental toughness - he was a VERY well-rounded boxer.

I know a lot of people have different opinions, but I still think he took Vitali too lightly and was on his way to losing that fight. I know, I know - a lot of you feel differently, but that's just my opinion. Had he lost, he probably would have performed MUCH better in a rematch, just going on his past fights.

It may be awhile before we see a HW like Lewis. Wlad and Vitali are monsters, but I don't think either one has the total package that Lewis did. I guess we'll see....
