    Wow! Would not have occurred to me to list "those" rounds. Not saying they weren't good. Just, both of those fights are kind of remote.

    Have to rewatch it to pick a specific round but some of the Lennox Lewis vs Vitaly Klitschko stuff was breathtaking.

    Toney/Jirov last round

    DLH Vargas last round

    Toney/Jirov was an excellent last round. Of course it's also memorable for Emanuel Stewart having a meltdown: "He's hurt! He's hurt! He's HURT!!!!"

    When Lewis got sparked by Rahman, it was poor preparation and stupidity rather than a stylistic flaw per se.

    His loss to McCall was Barkley-Hearns-Esque.

    Never should have lost to that guy.
