    OK, prepare for the proving of the wrong. Lennox Lewis was a tactical fighter, averaging approximately 30 jabs a round. He was a very cautious fighter who tried to hit while not getting hit. He was also a massive guy, and at his size he couldn't unload every weapon in his arsenal. Had he done so he would have been gassed early. He had several one punch KO's, including the right hand knockout against Rahman that I consider to be one of the greatest knockouts in heavyweight history. Lewis was a very good puncher.

        After Lewis' first KO loss to McCall he became more of a safty first type of fighter. He didnt go for KO's. David Tua has a solid chin but everytime he got past Lewis' Jab he got hit with solid rights. After a few rounds Tua didnt even try to get past the jab cuz he knew that the right hand had KO all over it. Lewis also knew this and used it as insurance to cruise to an easy UD.

            without steward and if he was 5'11 he would have been ****, he also waited for his contemporaries to get old, he isn't **** in history........prove me wrong.........
            Somebody post the vid of Lewis reclaimin his title from Rahman.


            There.
