    Exactly!!! All time greats do not get KO'd by one punch in title fights TWICE.

    What a glorious night of boxing that was.
    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.

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

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

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

    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!
