The Rahman knockout was superb, he made Hasim look rather foolish in the rematch. If only he had done that in Johannesburg instead of dancing around with his mouth wide open doing a rather poor Ali impression:patsch

The Rhaman knockdown was class, and Lennox was great no doubt - but he wasn't the most exiting out there to watch imo.

I agree, but still light years ahead of anything in the division these days:deal

An old, shot Lewis still had enough to beat the best young heavyweight in the world in Vitali.... Lewis is serious ATG... His legacy will only grow with time.

Well said - he beat just about everybody who was anybody in the stacked 90s heavyweight division. The only guy he didn't really fight who comes to mind was Riddick Bowe, but only because Bowe wasn't up for the fight.
I think that Lewis would have beaten a prime Mike Tyson. Tyson had problems with Tony Tucker and I think that Lewis would have used his size advantage and eventually would have broken down Tyson. Tucker wasn't good enough to do it but he showed that Tyson could be frustrated.

I think Desiree Washington showed that Tyson could be frustrated, along with a pair of Holyfield ears.

All it wouldve taken was an extra couple of weeks training in the altitude he was going to fight in instead of ignoring that and assuming he could not only beat rahman but the basic laws of the human body too.
