    Good artice that brings back memories.

    I always liked Lewis and this fight convinced me he was the best Heavyweight in the world and I haven't seen a better one since. I'd describe him as a massive, flawed, force.

    It's strange to think how highly regarded Golota was on the back of the Bowe fights when you think what a basket case he was to become. That said Glyn Leach seemed to be already awake to his mental fragility and that was before it was confirmed against Michael Grant.

    Good victory for Lennox. When he was up for it,he could be explosive.

    My word he could.

    When he had a perceived threat he was deadly. Just look at what he did to Razor Ruddock.:good

    As soon as I saw the 95 seconds, I knew it was the Golota fight.

    The thing of it is, Golota was highly regarded but also quite talented. I still believe this was one of Lewis' most impressive victories. I thought for sure Golota would beat him! :lol:

    Don't forget about Grant as well. I'm pretty sure many thought he was going to be knocked out by the next American hope.

    I think everyone is aware about Lewis pulling Grants head into that uppercut. Yes it's an illegal punch (he did the same thing when he had Bruno hurt as well) and he didn't need to do it because Grant was already done. Lewis got away with a bit of rough housing in this fight but that says more about Arthur Mercante Jnr's ineptitude as a ref than anything else. That said Grant was dropped twice heavily in the first from legitimate punchers and he was badly exposed by Lewis in this fight so it wasn't like he was robbed of a win or something.

    And speaking of doing the board a favour why don't you start posting using legible spelling and grammar. Your posts are like reading an SMS message from hell.

    No one remembers his destruction of Razor Ruddock? Really?

    Lewis could be methodical and focussed in his destruction or unleash his entire arsenal. Still. he ranks as damn near the greatest H2H threat that the Heavy division ever produced.
