Best past prime performances

[RubenSonny]

Well that's not how the betting public had it state side...every bookie in the usa gave calzaghe more chance of surviving a firing squad than beating Lacy...in fact you only got to look at the old youtube videos or old boxing magazine articles at the time to see how highly regarded Lacy was before the Calzaghe loss !
Some respected boxing jernos in the usa called lacy a mini mike tyson

Betting is not based on whos going to win, but the best money making option for the bookies, Lacy hadn't actually proved anything and didn't go on to do anything after, but anyway like I said I got confused between my overrated and underrated thread and this, check the edit of my post from yesterday.

israel vasquez and rafael marquez were on their last legs when they had their first three fights


and those are some of the best fights ever
between two tremendous offensive fighters

-Lennox Rahman II
-Lennox Vitali

Its a shame Lennox gets criticism for matches with Vitali/Rahman when he was at a considerable age disadvantage in both.

How many 36 year old men come back from a KO loss in such dramatic fashion?

How many fighters can pummel the hell out of Vitali Klitschko period? Lennox did this past prime and gets no credit.

More spin-doctoring, I see.

Lewis at 36 >>> Lewis at 26. Not just my take, either. Lewis himself also thinks so, as did Steward.

Lewis at 32>Lewis at 26 and 36.

[Wild Blue Yonda]

Lewis at 32>Lewis at 26 and 36.

I would say Lewis never looked better than between 32 & 36 (1997-01). Certainly, to claim as Joey is that Lewis was at the same career stage as your average 36-year-old fighter is grossly misleading, & he knows that, as a fan.

Lewis was better during that time period, but going into the Vitali fight he had certainly been on the decline. He had finally got the wins he wanted over Tyson and Holyfield, he wasn't sticking around much longer.

Wasnt a great performance considering his opponent,but watching a shot Jones jnr toy with Lacy was pretty entertaining
