    Hold behind the head and uppercut was very underated. he stopped alot of people with this...... he could generate amazing power with that uppercut.

    The final KO shot uppercut on Grant was invredible he got extra leverage for that one.
    I liked how he almost sent Botha flying out of the ring.

    I have always respected and rated LL at the elite level of the heavyweight division all time....but my estimation of him has been enhanced by watching Lewis-Tyson and realizing that he was basically toying and torturing Iron Mike and could have ended the fight much soon er than he actually did...in other words, a tuned in Lennox Lewis not only had world class, top tier power...one of the most devastating right uppercuts of all time, but he was a mean sob as well.

    Lewis was a real badass when he fought in his "A style"....to destroy his opponent, rather than the "B style"...that of a chess player like he used vs Holyfield,....but that B style would have been a nightmare for Ali.
