    I can't recall Lewis being hurt to the body, but regardless, it was ridiculous.

    I read somewhere that Holyfield-Tyson 1 started the trend of the high cups. I'm sure others had high cups before that, whether or not a high profile fight like Holyfield-Tyson 1 started a trend I don't know, but I don't like how commissions just let it go like its nothing.

    In my opinion, Holyfield deserved to win the 2nd fight. Lewis threw more punches but Holyfield landed more effective punches. A win over Lewis would have enhanced his legacy.

    Lewis -holy `1 draw" was blatant robbery
    Fight 2 was closer but still a clear Lewis win
