    IMO, it's between that & Armstrong's 1938 run where he won the WW & LW titles.

    Mike Tyson 1988 in terms of:
    - Spinks was defeated for the first and only time
    - Holmes was knocked out for the first and only time
    - Tubbs

    Lennox Lewis in 2000. Fresh from his victorious reunification in 1999, he destroyed the then highly regarded contender Michael Grant, stopped the tough Frans Botha and schooled the hard punching, n°1 contender David Tua.
