The Rahman vs Lewis fights were not that great IMO because in each fight both guys just caught each other with a lucky good shot, and both have questionable chins but massive punching power. Outside the devastating knockouts they were pretty boring fights.

But pretty much all Gatti fights are really good like you said.

I just like how smug Lewis looked in the first fight. He was barely winning against a determined Rahman until he got caught. However, in the rematch, Lewis was on target. This was not boring at all as he was connecting a lot of his powershots against the flailing arms of Rahman (what the hell was that about anyway?) and then ONE TWO! Rahman is laid out on the Don King crown.

I was happy as well to see Lewis get dropped after acting so smug against Rahman in the first fight. I never was a fan of Lewis though.

The 1-punch KO from out of nowhere is EXACTLY why they were exiting fights, I remember that I almost dozed off during Moorer-Foreman, and then BOOM the fight's over, that's what separates boxing from other sports, the "infinite sudden death" of the event
