After the first defeat in south Africa, Lennox Lewis told the media that Hasim Rahman had his World Championship belts on loan 'There was absolute no doubt in his mind that he would regain the titles'.
Lennox Lewis's only weakness was his complacency 'Pretty much beats any heavyweight head to head, he has that type of ability'.
Note: I have not voted on the poll, may do it awhile.
10, he KO'd a fighter that KO'd him. That doesn't happen too often. Joshua didn't do it to Ruiz and I don't see Wilder winning the 3rd fight.
Even though Rahman wasn't a HOF or ATG, it still is the type of stuff legends are made of, he fell down and picked himself up and proved who the better man was.
Look what happened when Ali beat Foreman, he was lost fighting 5 journeymen to feel like a man, while Ali clowned him from ringside, Foreman could have got a rematch if he demanded it, but he didn't have the will (at that time).
Not a big Lennox fan, but you have to respect the game, he beat every fighter he faced and avenged all losses (and bs draw).
You don’t get extra credit in the do-over because you were negligent and unfocused the first time around. I gave it a 7. The same as if the first meeting didn’t happen.
