        You were in the camp? He never cut corners, I've been to his camps and knew his team. It was going to be one of his last fights, he wanted to shine. He never ever showed up to any fight out of shape. The only mistake was filming a movie in Vegas during Rahman 1 camp but he was still ready, the altitude killed him.
        - - Both Ks were in that movie.

        Rahman had been a walk in the park he barely had to lift a finger in. What happened is Rahman who was immensely strong walked him into a big right hand...shyte happens...

          Lewis was clearly out of shape in the first Rahman fight as he was with Vits. His reflexes were dull, that is why he got backed into a corner. We saw what happened in the rematch when he was focused and in shape.

            Lennox was killed by the altitude of South Africa. In the book Lewis vs Tyson Heavyweight Armageddon, it said Lewis arrived to SA seven days before the fight and went for a jog and had to stop after a mile, the altitude was too much. You can see in the fight he was winded and Rahman exploited it.

                No, LL at one time dabbled with the idea of becoming a movie star, he wanted to play the black James Bond. And to get an opportunity to appear in a major film with Brad Pitt George Clooney Jessica Roberts was a perfect stepping stone into Hollywood. But as it turned it it was a distraction which interfered with his career, his training and preparation for Rahman. He paid the ultimate price.

                Usyk never made such a dumb mistake. Usyk trained for 9 months straight for Fury and missed many family outings and holidays.

                It's another reason why Usyk is greater than Lennox, Ali, etc. Usyk never made a mistake involving his career.

                    Rahman arrived in SA a month before the fight, he acclimatized to the altitude, Lewis did not.

                      - - 5200' is dinky altitude. I've done hard construction work at 9000' and hiked up to 14000' with no prob and no acclimation.

                      But I was always young and fit as any boxer should be.

                      As mentioned, the fight was a walk in the park for Lewis as Rahman fled to set him up to walk into his right hand

                      Lewie was also one punched by McCall, so he always had an inferiority complex about it like you seem to have....
