When Did Lennox Lewis Hit His Prime?

Lewis looked better in the Rahman fight than in any other fight in his career. Lewis was focued for the fight, as he should have been the first fight. It helped that Rahman tried to use the "When he jabs, stick your arm out, it'll stop everything" defense that fight.

That wasn't the start of his prime, he was just more focused for the Rahman rematch becasue he got knocked out the first fight and because Rahman talked so much trash. Lewis had no business losing the first fight, but he was susceptible during his career to not coming in at his best for perceived lesser fights. Lewis looked better in the Rahman fight than in any other fight in his career.

I'd say in his late career, specifically around the time he knocked Rahman out and on. He looked superb in that fight, better than any other imo. Thoughts?
