I don't know if you Lewis fans realize it, but LL was KO'd twice by 2nd tier guys

Not a big Louis fan but Louis>Holyfield heavyweight champ in the 90's. Holyfield>Louis alltime fighter because of pre-heavy legacy for P4P. Heavyweight champ>Champ of any other weight, I do not consider P4P arguments except in fantasy.

 

**** never realised that...

Who cares anyway? He avenged them both times, and the Rahman KO was one of the best KO's ever. As far as I am concerned because he avenged both losses in style, it does little to damage his legacy. One of the best heavyweight's ever, we may never, ever have such a superb, dominant heavyweight champion again, so dont diss him.

 

And another thing... McCall and Rahman in their primes would wipe the floor with todays HW's. They were second rate fighters in a golden age of heavies, but still good, solid fighters.

 

I like how Holy is excused for losing to Lewis, as he's faded or "past prime", even though holding 2 belts and being what, 36, 37?

However, a THIRTY-FIVE year old Lewis doesn't get the same allowance due to age losing to Rahman.

"Different fighters, different styles of fighting make them age differently" - there you go, there's Holy fans reply.

Well, blocking punches with your head will do that........
