LOL read my reply 2 posts ago about Tucker who was similar to Lewis in many ways.
I do think that some fighters get ruined after certain fights from certain fighters. Look at Vernon Forrest, if he hadnt have met Mayorga, he had just smashed the top pound for pound fighter. I also think those fits took a little from Mayorga too.

My point is, that Tucker was a very good, decent skilled heavy weight that just happened to have to defend his title against one of the most phenominal fighting machines ever.

You will see alot of people refer to Tyson in similar fashion. You will never get the same reverence and fondness for Lewis because unless a fighter pushed him, he didnt do a great deal. He certainly didnt have the same skill level as that Tyson. The one that could bob and weave and avoid being hit.
