Lewis's finest masterclass?

[Guest]

Okay, I haven't seen enough to bother with a poll, but I just saw Lewis vs. Golota today, and as much as I'm lukewarm to Lewis he was sensational there.

The only bit I didn't like is where he chose to clinch because he didn't want to blast his way out of a corner. Most of the rest of the time he was using superb timing and deft footwork to work his way out of the corner until setting Golota up. Classic.

True or not .... I heard Golota was barfin' the morning of the fight and was carrying a low-grade fever at fight time.

Hmm...Lewis was a very good fighter but he was NOT the best heavyweight of the 90's. That honor goes to Evander Holyfield. Lewis gets best heavyweight from 2000-2002 I guess.

Versions of Tyson and Holyfield he foguth were severely aged.

His victories over Tua, good scrap with Vitali, and comebacks vs McCall and Rahman are significant though. Bruno victory also (he did beat Bruno, yes?).

There were tons of rumours around Golota's poor performance - he was sick, he was doped up on muscle relaxants or anti-depressants, he had a training injury, he had an anxiety attack right before the bout, blah blah blah. (BTW, not unlike the Tyson broken neck alibi )

Well, whatever, because say what you will, LL looked awesome that night - an overwhelming display of speed, skills and power. It was probably the peak of his career in terms of combined athletic ability and skills (earlier in his career the skills were lacking, and later in his career the athletic ability had eroded). I personally think he would've had his way with any heavyweight of any era that night (or at least given them a lot of trouble). My 2c.

Golota being doped on muscle relaxers is not a rumor. Its a proven fact. Golota was awarded millions of dollars in a malpractice lawsuit agains the doctor who injected him with the muscle relaxer before the fight buddy. Golota would have kicked Lewis's ass if it were not for that doctor. Almost all major boxing writers and experts in the world were picking Golota to win and he was the Money favorite in Vegas as well.

I even think Lewis knew that Golota was doped up when the bout started because I have never seen ever in Lewis' career him run across the ring and attack from the opening bell like that.

The Golota fight was really the most important fight of Lewis' career because it got him the contract with HBO and made him recognized as the #1 heavyweight in the world, previously Golota was considered the best in the world. If Golota was not doped up in that fight and went on to win, he would be the legend right now, he would have captured the undisputed championship and made defences, not Lewis. Its a blackmark on Lewis's career that he made his way to the top through such nefarious means.\

This all happened to Golota because he had a small time promoter back then, nobody backing him up and watching his back like Don King, or Dan Goosen, he had a major small time promoter. While Lewis had that piece of **** Bob Arum I believe pulling all the strings for him.

Everybody looks good against opponents who are doped up on Muscle relaxers even you could look good... Masterclass good Baby
