Why do people forget Lewis v Rahman 1...

[LacedUp]

Yeah, Rahman beating lennox was a huge upset at the time, but quickly gets forgotten because of the brutal ko in the rematch..

Rahman upset was much bigger than fury beating Wlad..

Still not the same scenario right?

Fury literally outboxed Wlad from start to finish. Lewis surely looked horrible, but it was also a once in a life time punch Rahman landed.

It's one thing to get knocked out, it's another to get outboxed by a lumbering oaf. Tyson Fury is a bum. I cannot believe this POS is the lineal HW champion of the world. I am embarrassed.

[SeekDaGreat]

Because it was a fluke. The definition of a lucky punch.

[Larry the boss]

Uh,, yeah he was... Lennox had been tearing up since the mccall fight, and was coming off wins over holyfield, grant, Golata, tua, etc

This was lennox at his peak.. He only had 3 fights after that and called it a career.

Lewis never got that unbeatable label man..not downgrading the win at all but Lewis was never seen as an unbeatable force

[The Gambler1981]

Because I already saw the first Lewis-McCall fight~ but yea that Rahman fight was a bigger upset.

Tyson-Holyfield was a big upset also

[HanzGruber]

Wasn't even the biggest combat sport upset this month lol

[atomicsad]

Rahman scored a lucky punch against Lewis, he didn't dominate him over twelve rounds.

Are you embarrassed that the US hasn't had a legitimate World HW Champion for nearly 15 years, since Lewis-Rahman 1?

For some reason I always forget about Lewis-Rahman I. For the longest time I was under the impression that Shannon Briggs was the last American lineal HW champion, but I am wrong. Hasim Rahman is that man. Even though is was a 12 year old casual fan back then, I do remember this...
