Rahman KOs Lewis

I forgot that Hasim Rahman was fighting Terrence Lewis. When I saw the headline; "Rahman KOs Lewis" I thought Blimey, boxrec needs to update their site.

All he needs for the trifecta now is to knock out Wade Lewis.

Rahman is due to fight Wayne Llewellyn soon i heard? He recently struggled past Al Cole too and we all remember his blubbery loss to the awful John Ruiz. Another pretender to the throne falls by the wayside 8)

Lewis replaced Llewelyn, he was due to get sparked last night but Terrence stepped in at the last minute. ;)

Never did a man get luckier than Rahman when facing a totally arrogant and lazy Lewis. The bloke is surely one of the world's worst ever heavy champs.

Bruno. Rahman is awful.

If Rahman could knock out Lewis, he would have a bloody good chance of knocking out Bruno too. Rahman isn't that bad, as a champion yes, but he's of contender status. He's on about the same level as Ruiz, but less reliable.

Bruno. Rahman is awful.

Honestly?

I'm surprised, I'd be pretty confident picking Rachman.

That's why I said he was very lucky to face a totally arrogant, unfit, overweight, not focused Lewis. He IS that bad. Oleg Maskaev smashed him out of the ring, an ancient and shot Holyfield did him and Ruiz CLEARLY beat him.

Mind you, I wouldn't put money on Frank...but I think a peak Bruno would have beaten a peak Rahman (whenever that was). Lest we forget, Bruno gave a fit and focused Lewis a lot of trouble - when Rahman met a similar creature, he shit himself and was totally mullahed.

Has there ever been a fighter called Lewis Lewis?

Not as far as i know, but bizarrely there were 6 variations of John Johnson fighting from 1935-1950ish at lightweight. Were they all brothers? I guess we'll never know.
