Every month, I will select the fighter who has accomplished the most throughout the month.
Lennox Lewis
The Fighter of the Month for October, is Lennox Lewis. Lewis has been selected because of his spectactular performance in his most recent bout against Andrew Golota. Lewis wasted no time in putting Golota down twice (and out) in 95 seconds. In his victory, Lewis brought back memories of Halloween 92, when he kayoed Razor Ruddock in two rounds. Although Lewis will not get the respect that he deserves, he showed that he is a worthy champion.
Forget all the excuses that Golota was nervous, drugged, sick or so worried about throwing low blows that he didn't throw anything at all. Remember, Golota was the man who twice beat the hell out of Riddick Bowe (who in turn beat Holyfield in the fight immediately prior to the one will Golota). Lewis had a career-high performance against the man widely regarded as the "Next Great Heavyweight."
