Why do people forget Lewis v Rahman 1...

Just a thought... I've seen people saying tonight was the biggest upset since Tyson v Douglas. Well i don't agree anyway as i always felt Fury was potentially a stylistic nightmare for Wlad but thats besides the point. Why do people forget Lewis being knocked out by Rahman? I would think that was a much bigger upset than Fury against Klitschko considering some people rated Fury as possibly the second best in the division behind Wlad, or not far off. I know some people didn't give him a chance but i think most would have agreed Fury was one of the better heavyweights outside of Wlad. I don't know. Maybe Rahman was rated higher than i remember or know about but i always felt this was a huge upset that gets forgotten about. if you haven noticed everytime there is a legit upset of a big name these days its the biggest since tyson douglas

This WAS the biggest upset since TYson/Douglas for sure! Rahman was not in the realm of this because LEwis wasn't as dominant as Klitschko and Rahman was considered to be much stronger relatively against Lewis. Most people, myself included, didn't consider Fury a threat, same as with Douglas. There MAY be a similarity here... If Klitschko chooses to execute his rematch clause and wins, we'll have a dejavu situation of LEwis/Rahman... The question is.. WILL Wlad retire now? OR If he rematches, CAN he win now aged 40?

Still not the same scenario right? Fury literally outboxed Wlad from start to finish. Lewis surely looked horrible, but it was also a once in a life time punch Rahman landed. I was looking for this so I didn't have to say it. Anyway THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's one thing to get knocked out, it's another to get outboxed by a lumbering oaf. Tyson Fury is a bum. I cannot believe this POS is the lineal HW champion of the world. I am embarrassed. Are you embarrassed that the US hasn't had a legitimate World HW Champion for nearly 15 years, since Lewis-Rahman 1?

Rahman scored a lucky punch against Lewis, he didn't dominate him over twelve rounds.

Wasn't even the biggest combat sport upset this month lol

Because I already saw the first Lewis-McCall fight~ but yea that Rahman fight was a bigger upset. Tyson-Holyfield was a big upset also

Uh,, yeah he was... Lennox had been tearing up since the mccall fight, and was coming off wins over holyfield, grant, Golata, tua, etc This was lennox at his peak.. He only had 3 fights after that and called it a career. Lewis never got that unbeatable label man..not downgrading the win at all but Lewis was never seen as an unbeatable force

Because it was a fluke. The definition of a lucky punch.

Yeah, Rahman beating lennox was a huge upset at the time, but quickly gets forgotten because of the brutal ko in the rematch.. Rahman upset was much bigger than fury beating Wlad.. Still not the same scenario right? Fury literally outboxed Wlad from start to finish. Lewis surely looked horrible, but it was also a once in a life time punch Rahman landed.

Uh,, yeah he was... Lennox had been tearing up since the mccall fight, and was coming off wins over holyfield, grant, Golata, tua, etc This was lennox at his peak.. He only had 3 fights after that and called it a career. Absolutely correct.

Lewis was not thought of an unbeatable champion at that time Uh,, yeah he was... Lennox had been tearing up since the mccall fight, and was coming off wins over holyfield, grant, Golata, tua, etc This was lennox at his peak.. He only had 3 fights after that and called it a career.

If I recall Lewis was very disrespected during his reign. He didn't really get the credit he deserved until the Tyson beatdown.

Lewis was not thought of an unbeatable champion at that time

Yeah, Rahman beating lennox was a huge upset at the time, but quickly gets forgotten because of the brutal ko in the rematch.. Rahman upset was much bigger than fury beating Wlad.. Much bigger.

Yeah, Rahman beating lennox was a huge upset at the time, but quickly gets forgotten because of the brutal ko in the rematch.. Rahman upset was much bigger than fury beating Wlad..

Maybe because most people remember the way Lewis avenged that loss. With a brutal KO.
