    prime as an entity can be achieved, lost and then reclaimed.
    example a. could be ali who peaked before his exhile, came back a little rusty from exhile, then peaked again.
    lewis too had peaks and valleys. lennox was very good at his best. we can enjoy speculation about hypothetical fights between guys from different erras. as far as heavyweights go it should at least be held that lewis was the rightfull king of his own time over tyson, bowe and hollyfield. he earned it.

    That is how boxers roll.

    They can be totally fine one minute and then Past-Prime or even shot the next.

    Lennox Lewis was born in London England which makes him not only a Brit but a cockney to boot Ok end of dispute :)
