    Thanks man. Besides, Iron Mike himself made clear that he fought high on coke against several of his foes, especially in the later part of his career (Andrew Golota comes to mind).

    But I stress the Lewis fight because, to this day, I find Lennox's bragging about that win absolutely pathetic.

        Iron Mike whooped the Easton Ass.

        What a glorious night of boxing that was.

          That's right. Holmes' one and only KO loss, lest someone forget. I still get goosebumps from the sheer sound of the right hand that felled Holmes for the first time. POW!

            You should read Mike's book. He talks about that fight, and how he told Ali beforehand he would punish Holmes for that night.

                Lewis should never brag about that nothing fight against a one round version of the former champ.

                It was a **** show with a Marquee name with a past reputation, and a top flight bland athlete. Meaningless

                  The Tyson haters forget how he totally decapitated a great boxer who had a great 2nd career after that fight by giving a prime Holyfield all he could handle and schooling Ray Mercer.

                      The saddest part is that not only Lewis, but also the large part of the British press endorses that meaningless fight as the one that "cemented Lewis' legacy". How easily Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman are forgotten...
