With me he's more appreciated in hindsight more and more.I remember watching him lumber around on that Hbo double bill against Levi Billups and thinking out loud....'you have to be fawking kidding me,Ruddock is going to utterly destroy this big oof with the two left feet'......whoops.Slooooowly came to respect him in a big way.He was very tempered and methodical but knew when to bring the heavy stuff when the time was right.A very smart calculating fighter.The closest I would say he came off as dull was the fights with Mavrovic,Tucker and rematch with Holyfield...thought he lost that one.But when you counter that with solid scraps with A top form Mercer,Briggs,Bruno,Mason,Vitali,pulverizing Golota & heeeeeavily hyped Michael Grant,capable puncher Phil Jackson,and absolutley schooling David Tua.The resume speaks for itself and if Lewis was dull...we need many more of that sort in todays heavy ranks.
