The ruddock and Golotta destructions were amazing, both guys were seen by many to have a great chance to do him, and he wasted both real quick, never let either get set
His fight with Botha, i know Botha wasnt much of a threat, but LL has never look more devastating than he looked that night...
The destruction of Golota was a good one too. Tua is a good showcase of Lewis' ability to punch and move and throw fluid combs. Not an overly exciting fight, but gives you a good sense of how talented Lewis was. I always enjoyed his fight with Briggs. As mentioned, his revenge match on Rahman, he was in excellent form, with a great gameplan and made that adjustment to his right hand score a big KO.
To me his best performance was the destruction of Vitali. A young, hungry contender (and future HOF fighter) in his PRIME raped and put in his place. Most of the guys Lewis won against before never went anywhere after Lewis was through with them. Which makes it doubtful his opposition was at their peak ability. Vitali was. Best and most impressive Lewis win for me. It didn't seem overly impressive back in the day, but looking back 10 years you gotta say that a prime Vitali is the best scalp on Lewis' resume by far.
Basically this streak. After beating Holy, then the subsquent defense over Grant, Botha, Tua and regaining it against Rahman, that was still his physical peak combined with seasoning of experience. The Rahman loss was just an abberation anyway.
Not his best but the way he dismantled a Prime Shannon Briggs (not that past shot old asmatic version Vitali went 12 with) after a poor and slow start was very impressive The Klits just don't fight anything like that, he's a level above them.
