    Mercante Jr's incompetence in that fight could have gotten Dokes killed. That last punch by Ruddock should not have landed. One of the most violent KO's I've ever seen.

    Discuss.

    Retired at 38 years of age

    We saw many champions who retired a bit too late. Was this the right time for retirement?

    Lennox had nothing to prove, was a genuine all time great, and defeated every man he ever faced.

    Can't blame him for going out on his own terms. He had an outstanding career. But still... would have been nice to see him rematch Vitali.

    Vitali has this decision to thank for having a remaining career.

    I'm sure there's more of these. Great fights on paper...but not so great when they happened. If you've passed your peak and you're smart enough to know that history may not be as kind, then you are wise fellow.

    Never the biggest fan, but time is your friend Lennox. Well played.

    He already beat Vitali by way of TKO6. And Wlad was knocked the fuk out by Sanders. :rofl

    But this isn't what this thread is about.

    He definitely was still the best when he retired. But he looked like he was slipping pretty badly. :bart

    Lewis ran from his biggest challenge and still spindoctors the events to this day in his usual facesaving, egomanical, grandstanding ways.

    Who was his biggest challenge?

    He already beat Vitali. :hi:

    TKO6

    He walked away from the sport when he knew he didn't have it in him anymore.

    He was 38. He had nothing more ever to prove. :smooch
