    I just realized how stacked Lewis's record is as far as names are concerned (prime or not).

    Ruddock
    Tucker
    Bruno
    Morrison
    Mercer
    Golota
    Briggs
    McCall
    Holyfield
    Grant
    Botha
    Tua
    Rachman
    Tyson
    Klitschko

    - Damn thats pretty lol.

    It is a very strong resume for a hw IMO. Bowe is the only name missing from his era. So impressive in an era of duckers, cherrypickers and career strategists.

    I suppose you could criticise him for not trying to stop Holyfield - but why bother putting yourself at risk for a needless KO when you are winning (or ought to be winning) clearly.

    See Herol Graham vs Julian Jackson - Jackson is being stood on his head throughout, then Graham tries to chase a KO and gets poleaxed.

    Nothing wrong at all with respecting your opponent, especially one as good as Evander.
