    Another excellent video Rummy. Thanks for putting it together.
    As far as “notable” wins I would say you pretty much nailed it.

    As far as best wins- I think the revenge match against Rahman takes the cake. He showed even at a somewhat advanced age, a motivated Lewis was a different fighter and a class above the pretty one dimensional Rahman.

    Ruddock was the coming out party and a huge huge win.

    Beating Mercer in a fire fight was a great win - despite the fact I scored it 5-5 I could see 6-4 Lewis although I have friends that disagree with me I have hard time giving Mercer that fight.

    Handling prime Tua with ease was extremely impressive.

    The “draw” with Holyfield was another great performance as Lewis dominated that fight.

    The Golota fight was good but two things - 1. Golota didn’t look right entering that ring or look himself in the ring. He was always a headcase but that is not Lewis fault.

    Tko 6 I think Lewis who carries extra weight well was beginning to show his age- he dug deep though like the great champion he was and gutted out the win. His measurement of range was poor in this fight but he smartly turned the fight into a brawl and cut his opponent.

    Tyson was a ghost- I wouldn’t put that in his top 10 wins.

    The second Holyfield fight was very close. And I don’t think it was a great Lewis that night. I think he rested on his laurels a bit from the first fight and a more prepared Holy nearly stole that bout from him.

    All in all great choices and you always are impartial. Nice

    When you think about it none are really great wins are they in an ATG sense.
