    What are your three favourite fights that he had?

    What are your three favourite ko's that he had scored?

    Could he come back to world level and make some noise?

    The ko he got over Hasim was brutal. Also when he was teeing off on Bruno was pretty unpleasant to watch.

    Favourite fights: Morrison, Bruno, Ruddock.

    Favourite KO's: Golota, Rahman, Grant.

    I don't think he could come back, he got out at the right time. Sure he'd make some noise could beat a few fringe contenders but beyond that I doubt it. The window of opportunity for a successful comeback has now passed imo.

    Golota [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0em16mPPvR0[/ame]

    Bruno KO or Briggs the Briggs right hand was a vintage Lewis shot

    He probably could but hard to tell he's been out so long but I can't see anyone outside of the brothers who could of lived with him at his worst.

    The Rahman KO was a beast, the other one that sticks out is Golota, Haye could learn something from Lewis on how to finish by watching the Golota fight.

    Probably one of Lewis's most underrated fights that seems to get overlooked a lot is his battle with Mavrovic who was the Albert Sosnowski prototype. Going into the championship rounds it was a very close fight. From what I can remember the American commentators thought there was only 1 or 2 rounds in it.

    my favourite lewis fights,
    gary mason
    donovan "razor" ruddock
    frank bruno
    tony tucker

    the best ko's,
    the straight right he landed on mike weaver was a beauty
    andrew golota, nobody blew golota away as conclusive as lennox did
    rahman, no way was he ever gonna get up from that. repemption for what happened first time around.
    im sure he could still fight at world level but im pleased that he's never had to come back. big up lennox.

    About to sit down and watch this from memory I thought It was pretty one sided with me wondering how Mavoric was still standing for a good few parts of it.

    Try watching it with the American commentary if you can. I know their score card and the English one were quite far apart.

    Aye got it on now 2-0 Lewis early a bit of bad blood which I'd forot about in this fight. Mav is coming into it though very unorthodox fighter which is giving Lewis a few problems big George seems high on Mav
