    Sanders KO Wlad :hey

    Prescott KO Khan

    Rahman KO Lewis

    Mayorga KO Forrest

    By "lucky", not lucky punch. Just instances when the better fighter got caught slipping, I.e., he would have won 9 times out of 10. (I think Forrest won the second Mayorga fight)

    I'll explain more thorough depending on responses.

    sanders destroyed wlad, there's a reason there was never a rematch, the explosive sanders was just a huge danger for wlad's style at the time.

    prescott may have been a bit lucky in that he caught khan so early, but the signs were there that khan was vulnerable and someone was going to knock him out.

    i think rahman got lucky, he was losing and look what a focused lewis did to him in the rematch.

    mayorga, i dunno, i think forrest did underestimate him and get caught out, but then again he still had big problems with mayorga's style the second time round. without prior experience of fighting mayorga i think forrest getting stopped is the most likely outcome if you could rewind time.

    Sanders and Prescott were not lucky but just fought the fighters before they had mentally peaked.

    Rahman got lucky without a doupt.

    Mayora whooped his ass, nothing lucky about it

    Glad Prescott knocked Khan out...

    made him move to 140 and change trainer...

    Career has changed...
    Body has changed (for the better) - before it was just "hey look at my six pack" which is bs...
