I actually think he started taking roids after the first Bowe fight.

NahI think he was already using them to bulk up to heavyweight when he made the move up. He was already losing his hair from the steroids in the foreman fight

An then he got KOed by Rahman with Steward as his trainer in exactly the same way that he got Koed by McCall before Steward took over

Dont matter. Point is Lewis in his loss to Rahman showd he still was as sloppy an defensively still open to shots with Steward as his trainer as he was before Steward

Steward was a good trainer an did improved aspects of Lewis work like being more patient an look for the openings but don’t make out that Steward was some miracle worker that could magically improve every fighter in every way possible

It was completely different. Lewis dogged it in training and paid the price for treating Rahman like a walk in the park.

We fight how we train, Lews`s combos were sharper in his rematch v Rahman, the combo that finished Hasim was world class.
