    In almost every single atg lightheavy list I've ever seen, Lewis is always top 10 and almost always top 5. Well deserved.

    Lucky you! I've seen some where he wasn't top 20! It's mental. I have him above Spinks, which I imagine is controversial.

    Wow. I would guess that those that don't have him inside the top 20 are simply misinformed.

    An aged Conteh gave Saad real issues with his jab, defence and movement. The cut was the main thing, but he gave him fits. Lewis was a lot better than Conteh, and he has real power to work with, along with ATG skill.

    A bad style, ATG speed and a guy who much more proven? Yeah, I know who's winning.

    Saad's best chance is a KO, and given true heavyweights, and massive bangers couldn't do it, I don't think it's likely. In fact, I'd say a late stoppage for Lewis is more likely. That body work dropped Maxie Rosenbloom for **** sake.

    Lewis wins a UD, the associated press reports are lost.

    Lewis, Moore, Greb, Jones and Conn go through to the quarterfinals.

    The sheer will of Matt when seeing him fight from ringside was almost visceral. Like a heart you hear beating. You knew he would pull it out. He would here also. And by a knockout!!!!!!
