    Following the other thread, what would everyone say was Lennox's best win?

    I can understand an argument for the Donovan fight but I think the Rahman re-match was flawless. He was in great shape, mentally and physically, and looked the perfect heavyweight that night...

    The 2nd Holyfield fight was exellent as well... I thought he won that by at least 6 rounds.

    Good Thread.

    Better judges than me (98% of the fourm) rate Lewis very, very highly.

    But I'm of the opinion that his resume doesn't get as harshly disected as most others so I am intrigued as to how this thread goes :good

    Grant, Golota, Holyfield1 (probably one the biggest robberies in a heavyweight title fight in recent time) all big wins.

    To me it had to be Rudock because, though he was always an excellent prospect, he had never done anything to indicate that he was capable of that kind of ferocity. And blowing out the razor like that when Tyson had struggeld agaisnt him was a statement.

    Also. Vitklit. He gutted it out and won an tough one.

    For me, Golota, who was tough and talented. Coming ff the back of truly ruining (ending) Bowes career and looking well-rounded as well as psychotic, Lewis did what he did when he felt threatened and decimated him.

    Is it just me who believes that that is one of the biggest myths in recent boxing history? I had Lewis win that fight but there were enough close rounds to make an argument that Holyfield just snatched a draw... I know a lot of people remember THAT Judge's score but forget that an Britishman gave it 114-114.

    Lewis has a wide number of good wins which is why he is so highly regarded.

    He faced more punchers than any champion in history.

    The biggest myth about him is regarding his chin. When he was focused there aren't many, not even say, Joe Louis or Kid Dynamite that I'd favour to shift him.
