    I disagree about the first fight, I think he could have put more hurt on Evander personally. I will check the fight out again but I remember thinking he took it too easy on the faded Holy, even though he was playing possum on a few occasions.

    Embarrassing post.

    Why pretend Lewis was the aggressor against Ruddock? He wasn't. Its on video.

    The only "fact" is what took place during the fight itself. The rest is speculation. Most people know the difference between these two words, but I can only speculate that you don't.

    Ruddock & Golota was both "Damaged Goods" when Lewis fought them.. Ruddock never threw a single punch. Golota was sedated in his dressing room after taking a panic attack, which is why Lewis rightly jumped on him.

    Apparently everyone Lewis fought was "damaged goods" over the hill, shot, you name it.

    Yep before the fights Ruddock and Golota were meant to be the future and sweep Lewis aside. Yet after a minute or two in the ring with Lewis they were damaged goods. :lol:

    I know who the effective aggressor was.

    Lewis set the trap for that lazy left hand of Ruddock and pounced. Great KO.

    It's pretty hard to label Ruddock the aggressor in that fight. It reeks of someone having an agenda.

    I just rewatched it. Ruddock is going out trying to push the issue from the start and lands a few very hard hooks, to the head and body. But he's just not as good a boxer, as good with his feet, as a young Lewis. He pretty much loses every department of the match-up.

    Now you are simply making a fool of yourself yet again, which is something you do quite often I notice.

    The aggressor was the one who pounced on his opponents lazy punches, and set him up for the KO, inside 2 rounds.

    Are you even capable of comprehending

    Lewis. W. TKO 2?

    Funnily enough, quite a few guys had panic attack at the thought of leaving their dressing rooms only to see Lewis in the other corner, its just that apart from Mc Call and Golota, they didn't crack up completely.:rofl

    I think some people Magoo for instance seriously don't understand the difference between aggression, and effective aggression.

    Some people would say that Hatton was the aggressor in the Pac fight, because he kept charging in, doing nothing much, and getting punched for his troubles.

    Funnily enough, a similar ending, in almost the same amount of time.:lol::lol:

    I guess this boils down to what "Aggressor" means to you.

    As long as we are seeing the same thing. Ruddock coming forward and pushing the attack, Lewis looking to counter and ultimately doing so in a big way.
