did you guys think Rahman was a fluke in his first fight against Lennox Lewis? i thought he was fighting a good fight and caught him with a nice right. alot of people think it was luck but i think he could have outboxed him that night.

You can have a lucky punch but not a lucky match. Rahman had a great punch that knocked lewis out but it wasnt luck. You cant stay in a match for so long solely because of luck so i say it was skill.

The Fatness

The victory he got over Lewis was a lucky shot thrown at a boxer who was careless, undertrained and took the fight as a joke. You can see this by Rahman performance in the rematch in where he kept trying to land a similar right hand in a vrey ackward stance. Rahman is an average boxer in a lackluster class.

yea lewis deffinetly thought he was gonna have an easy win in that fight but just to have the strength to knock out a boxer like lewis....i give that props

In my view there is no such thing like luck when it comes to boxing.
Rahman was winning the fight and almost took Lewis' head off with that powerful right hand. Yes, he lost the rematch, but only few boxers would have been able to beat that version of Lennox Lewis.
Hasim Rahman is a worthy champion.

Does anyone have video of Rahman's knockout of Lennox?

Yup, i agree 100% . . . you just cant do that, you have to go in there thinking you might get your melon knocked off so do your best.

You Should be able to download the amtch on limewire or whatever program you choose.

Either way lucky or not, That was one hell of a right.

TripleA

On that night, Rahman was at the peak of his game. He was in a zone that I don't think he will ever get back to. It wasn't a fluke but it was a level that he doesn't seem to be able to preform at again. In a way like Douglas did in Japan.
