    I never caught this long version … Lennox was truly pissed and wanted to end him .. we all saw the opening but this is a whole different different perspective ..

    Rahman did well in their grapple here but LL seriously destroyed him in the rematch.

    Both guys get along good now from recent footage I’ve seen of them. That’s nice to see.

    I remember reading Big George’s response on his Twitter account before his passing when someone told him how outraged they were about him being robbed in the Briggs fight. George said he was over it straight away and “It’s only a game”. Glad to see LL and Hasim have followed that lead and let the machismo go and let mutual respect prevail instead.

    Rahman is physically very strong he could benchpress 450 pounds so I've heard.

    Lewis is the better boxer but in a street fight it might be a different matter.

    What I never saw before was the length and how Lennox was infuiriated and really was going after him .. this could have really gotten out of hand ..

    This never gets old :lol:

    Good find. Have watched the original version several times, but haven't seen this.

    There was another press conference during the build up to the rematch where Rahman said about Lewis, obviously in reference to their studio brawl, that "he was on his back kicking like a woman". Lewis was clearly infuriated and went after Rahman and had to be held back. Didn't look like the usual fake hype that we see in this sport. Would like to see that again if anybody has it.

    Pretty fun build up to that one.

    I saw Lennox Lewis (Tua fight) and Rahman (Barrett fight) in real life. Rahman was a true beast of a guy in his prime.

    But when Lennox Lewis walked in a room, it was different. When you saw him, you understood that the World Heavyweight Champion was always a big deal because that guy was supposed to be able to beat every man in the whole world. And when Lewis walked in a room, and you were in there, you believed it.

    And that didn't come across on camera. You had to be there.

    There have been bigger men than Lewis, but he had a presence that you didn't even consider messing with.

    The fact that Rahman got him on the floor made Lewis LOSE IT. Rahman talked a good game, but Lewis kept coming in that clip. And Hasim's plan to **** off Lewis backfired. Because Lewis wasn't rattled. He just wanted to kill Rahman.

    The Rahman KO of Lewis, and the Lewis KO of Rahman, are two of my favorite KOs ever.
