    True.

    The people who many have picked to beat Lewis ( like Razor Ruddock ) failed miserably, while others who no one would have given a shot in hell managed to win the lottery.. Very unpredictable fighter.

    Anybody with a decent whack has got a chance of knocking him out.

    Hulk Hogan.

    Lewis dropping his hands like that, would be wide open for the Big Boot.

    A lot of fighters as complacent as Lewis was against McCall and Rahman could get one-shotted by a lot of guys. Fully prepared, the list of who could one-shot Lennox becomes much shorter, as Lennox proved in the rematches.

    The thing is, if Lewis hadn't fought them, names like Tua, Morrison, Ruddock, Bruno etc would be populating this thread.

    Anyone think those two compare to :Tyson,Vitali,Morrison,Tua,Ruddock etc for punching power? It's about being focused and prepared,not complacent and arrogant. A prepared Lennox beat the **** out of Rahman and McCall and a 3 months off of 38 Lewis took all Vitali's shots without being floored.
    Rahman had 28 stoppages in his 34 wins when he fought Lewis, McCall 17 out of 24.

    Rahman has a 66Ko% McCall nearly 51% and both continued way after their primes.

    Lewis's knockout loss to McCall was nothing to do with arrogance or complacency, Lewis was beaten to the punch and that's all she wrote. I must have watched another rematch because all I saw was McCall blubbering like a baby whilst having a breakdown, Lewis never beat the **** out of him.

    Lewis often started fast vs Big men. Perhaps he knew the longer the fight went, the greater the chance of him getting caught.

    With two early one punch KO losses, you'd almost suspect there should have been a third. Had Lewis fought Ike, or Bowe that could have been it.
