Apart from the 2 times he got KTFO, what was Lenno Lewis' worst performance?

    Probably the Ray Mercer bout, but on the other hand Ray was pretty good.

    I thought he showed he had the ability to tough it out against Mercer, so I wouldn't pick this one. Personally, other than how sloppy he looked against Klitschko, I'd have to go with McCall 2.

    Levi Billups maybe, although he was still learning and obviously Klitschko.


    @Ilesey

    I'd say he was looking very good and proper focused until McCall went into meltdown.

    I thought he was a little scared.

    I don't know, but his best performance was against Vitali Klitschko AINEC.
    He was in the best shape of his life for that bout (he said it himself before the fight) and went beyond his limits to survive 6 rounds with the best HW of all time to be awarded a TKO-victory that should have been a DQ or technical decision loss.
    Nethertheless he was the only man that ever won a round against a prime Vitali (lets say he was in his prime although he was in fact very green when LL was much more experienced and in the best shape of his career).
    That is the main accomplishment of his career imo. Winning a round against the best HW ever. He was wise enough to retire after that beating he received though and everything he did before Klitschko was pretty much meaningless in my eyes tbh.

    Which was my main issue really. Granted, he was previously stopped by McCall but he coould have opened up a lot more in my opinion.

    Yes, I thought so too. I remember thinking to myself that LL was lucky McCall went in to melt down b/c LL didn't look like he had it in him to overcome. You could tell from viewing that something was really wrong with McCall but LL looked like he didn't really believe McCall was bugging out like that.

    He looked bloated and lazy against Vitali.
