    10. He was on the back end of his career by that point and he got his head back in the game for a series of late career victories against faded Tyson and Vitali.

      Damn. Watching your video Lewis makes it look so easy to do. It isn't easy to do of course.

        I am sorry but Lewis' victory over Rahman goes unrated for me. I can neither rate it or give him credit for the victory.

        I don't see how one can get credit for something that you were supposed to do or should have done all along the first time. Rahman was a underdog in both fights against Lewis.

        It shouldn't have taken the champ two tries to defeat a challenger such as Hasim Rahman because Lewis is leaps and bounds ahead of him as far as boxing skills and ability are concerned.

            Solid win.

            Rahman's not an all time great but he's a 2X heavyweight champion for a reason and that was him in his prime, highly confident coming off the shocking KO win over Lewis in the first fight.

            I'll give it an 8. He was the unified, lineal champion and Lewis got revenge by putting his lights out.

              Maybe being a bit harsh but I gave it a 6 again. It was a devastating knockout and emphatic revenge but I've never rated Rahman all that highly at all. He just did what he should have done the first time out. I give it a point extra for the revenge factor but without that I think it'd be about a 5, ie. middle of the road, exactly what you'd expect from the matchup.

                Hmm. The results are higher for this rematch than the Joshua-Ruiz rematch.....

                  I want to give it an 8 because of the spectacular knockout, but I just can't go any higher for the reasons you have stated.
