    Lewis vs Rahman and it’s not even close. The animosity between them was real, whereas Patterson and Johansson seemed friendly.

    Historically Floyd-Ingo and..."it's not even close". And they weren't 'friendly' at that time; it was several years later when they 'bonded'. Floyd said he wanted to kill Ingo in the rematch (almost did) and said he NEVER wanted to feel that hate again! I can only imagine Floyd's career if he came into his fights with the mindset he had in Ingo 2.
    Of course perhaps many of us wouldn't have been as endeared with Floyd had he had that killer instinct in all of his fights. Plus, no HW had EVER regained his title at that time. As I said..."it's not even close!"
