    When was the last time a heavyweight pulled a Lewis-Golota

    Lewis against Golota knew that the guy could be dangerous if you leave him in there so he went out in the first round to absoloutley stick it on Golota and blast him out before Golota could even start.

    David Tua also employed this approach against Moorer and Ruiz.

    No heavyweights start aggressively anymore, every heavyweight fight starts out cautious with fencing with the jabs etc.

    Where are the seek and destroy heavyweights.

    The reason why Lewis was so agressive against Golota from the start was very obvious.
    That look on his face during the ringwalk said it all....."You're not touching MY b*lls! "

        Fury-Wilder 2 to some extent too. Fury put it on him from round 1, whereas in he first fight he boxed on the back foot.

          I thought Lewis/Grant was another one of these fights. Lewis blitzed him out early, Grant had his flaws but he was big, athletic had heart and hit hard.

          I'm trying to think of recent instances where the better fighter blitzed someone to get them out of there before a dangerous opponent got on track. I can't think of any off the top of my head.
