Just because Lewis caught up with Rahman in the rematch, doesnt' take away what happened in the first. No matter how much you wish, nothing will.
So lewis never dominated Rahman in the rematch? is rahman a person? Jesus Christ you are ******ed.
To call what happened in the 2nd McCall/Lewis fight domination is laughable at best.
That is exactly what happened. McCall was losing the fight big time, frustrated with Lewis' weaponry....and started crying. Nervous breakdown because he was getting his ass handed to him.
and Lewis couldn't take advantage of being able to tee off on a defense-less man.
That is exactly what he did. McCall was not answering punches, and was getting pot shotted on the ropes at the time of the stoppage.
To call how that fight ened a KO is also extremely laughable.
I'm really sorry if you have reading comprehension issues.
That is not my fault.
Pathetic, it's too bad that you can't jump off your boys nuts long enough to see that you've got no legs to stand on. Lewis has been put through the ringer on a handful of times by sub-par fighters at best.
Oh btw, you can add Briggs to that list of fighters he didn't dominate. Briggs had him hanging on for dear life, stumbling all over the ring until Briggs chin and stamina failed him. Up until that point, the fight was his.

is that why briggs was down three times in the fight?
oh and this for your info: The judges scorecards at the time he stopped McCall in the second fight.
Time: 0:55 | Referee: Mills Lane | Judge: Anek Hongtongkam 40-36 | Judge: Larry O'Connell 39-36 | Judge: Dalby Shirley 40-35 ~
Vacant WBC Heavyweight Title
All three in favor of Lewis. He won virtually every round up untill the point the fight was stopped in the 5th.
Meanwhile, back in the world of the thread about Tua, yes in my opinion he threw away a promising career by coming in too heavy. You lose significant amounts of speed even if all the excess weight is muscle. When plenty of it is not, you are doing yourself a major disservice. It also hints, often correctly that your training is faulty or not intense enough or focussed in the right way.
When will the heavies learn that fighting at your best weight is better than fighting heavy for extra muscle?

Precisely, but it's not just a problem with heavyweights, although the unlimited weight potential amplifies the issue.
When fighters have difficulty maintaining weight or staying in shape, it makes me question their desire to put in the hard work to be their best, to be champion. Perhaps the sport has become more about the money, or more of a hobby than a full-time job.
Hence, I admire fighters who were capable of staying healthy and keeping at their natural weight class over their whole careers.
We'll find out, in due time, whether Tua has the desire to add his name to the mix, or if he's just another name in the mess.

Tua's weight certainly is too blame for a lot of his lackluster performances but I believe that the Tua we know and love changed forever post Ibeabuchi...even though you can easily make a case he should have won that fight he left something in the ring that night (Tua did things in that fight that we never ever saw again).
He never was the same Samoan wild man from that fight on-part of it was how Ike took the fight to Tua but I think the beating he took should not be underestimated as well.
good point scap it was a very gruelling fight for him, it'l be interesting to see how he is when he goes against a puncher, rahman dropped him at the end of ther re-match, i think even if rahman loses he could rubber match tua (providing david gets a few wins under his belt), i think if they both come in good shape it would be a good match.
Even tho lewis could **** too he was more concerned with controlling him with skills than trying to ko him so realisticly tuas chin at this point of his career could be a question mark
tua is naturally chubby or "thick" i should say..hes gonna be fat..deal with it..he packs a hell of a punch though and has a chin ..i think he's best days are gone though
