    What if Lewis and Rahman had a rubber match? Who would have won?

    Lewis would have demolished him like the 2nd fight. But it might have taken him a round or 2 longer sure to less motivation as he knew he was miles above Rahman.

    Lewis, the same way as fight 2. LL simply didn't lose rematches.

    lewis would've stripped him again. the only reason rahman won the first was down to lewis not training properly. no need for a third fight. we all knew who the true champ was.

    That 2nd fight was one of the best "get back" rematches ever.

    Lewis by KO probably quicker. Rahman reminds me of Zab Judah, he is mentally weak. He just goes into a shell and doesn't throw punches. Rahman was a big man and if he actually let his hands go I'm sure he could have caused problems for anyone in the division.

    1st off Lewis was skeered of the rubber match. 2nd...Rock knew the straight hands out does no good.... i think it wooud have been interesting in 2003, but not 2013!

    Rocl has no legs, NONE. Lewis would win even today but rubber match would be interesting back then.

    If Lewis was motivated, he walks through Rahman again.

    The only time he was heavier in his career than in Rahman 1, was in the Vitali fight

    Absolutely.Seeing Lewis make his way to the ring with James Brown's "Payback" blaring out in the arena....ya just knew **** was about to go down.


    Never has a knockout sounded so.....I don't know,perfect? Sounded like a ****ing pistol shot.

    That KO in the second fight is one of my favourite knockouts of all time. Lewis could easily outbox Rahman when he was in shape and took it seriously.

    I think Lewis wins by a corner stoppage, however not till around the 8th or 9th. I think in the second fight, like many have already mentioned, he came out to hurt Rahman, send a message to the world that Lennox Lewis was still the best heavyweight in the world, which he thus proved by knocking Rahman the **** out. In the rubber it would have been a similarly focused Lewis, but more cautious, wary ipof that big right hand Rahman possess. Lennox would use his feet and jab well staying if the outside and picking Rahman off. Lewis had the fundamentals to toy with Rahman all night long if he wanted to and I definitely see him doing this, similar to the Tua fight, but with a lot more success and we should also note Rahman's chin is not on the level of David's either. After 8/9 rounds of pure dominance Rahman's swollen face cannot take anymore and his corner throw I the towel saving a proud fighter in Hasim any further damage.

    Lewis would dominate a third fight.
