Thats tough, I guess Bruno, great fight, which showed Lewis get rocked, but was able to pull out a tough knockout win in the end.
Based on the quality of the opponent and the quality of the performance by Lewis, it SHOULD have been the first Evander Holyfield fight (which was better than the second). It's not the Tyson win because Tyson was shot and it's not the Klitschko win because he was losing on the scorecards and the fight was stopped on a cut. An underrated win on Lewis's resume is Andrew Golota. Golota was fresh off of two excellent performances against Riddick Bowe, where he lost because of his own idiocy. Lewis starched him in 1. Not sure actually...nothing really stands out among his long list of high quality wins
yes i would agree with the holyfield, even though i feel he is pretty overrated as a hw. very solid opponent on a very big stage and lewis dominated him.
Lewis didnt dominate Holyfield either time, the second fight was pretty close. Lewis dominated Tyson, he didnt dominate Holyfield.
He DID win easily in the first fight though...god what a robbery. My first fight I ever saw live and it ended like that :scaredas:
I had the first fight 8 rounds to 4 for Lewis, the second fight was very tough to score because of all the close rounds that could of gone either way, I had it a draw, but it could of honestly gone either way, everything worked out in end IMO.
galota was actually regarded as the number 1 heavywieght at the time after beating....i mean losing to bowe so yeah i could totally agree on that one:good i think the mike weaver fight was a show of everything he could do. he could box, he could fight, he could be impossible to hit, he could slip, fight of the ropes, could use his jab as both a tool and a punch, set traps, counter and most of all knock his man out at the end of it.
he dominated the first fight. he made holyfiled look 50 and clowned him as your idol roy jones would say. i scored it 9-2-1 for lewis. holyfield was clearly intimidated. that being said, i think lewis showed too much respect for holyfield when he could have finished him
