    Lennox Lewis
    The sheer amount of big punchers Lennox fought during his career is
    mind bloggingly impressive.



    Prime Razer Ruddock- Inventor of the smash, a punch that can kill. Ducked by everyone in his division other then Tyson. Took Tyson to the deep end.

    Prime Tommy Morrison- Mr KO Artist.

    Prime Andrew Golota

    Prime Shannon Briggs

    Fought a semi Prime Gary Mason as a 15 fight novice. Basically a kid version of Lewis fought this huge puncher who had a 94%+ KO Ratio.

    Frank Bruno

    Close to Prime David Tua

    Prime Michael Grant

    PRIME Dr IRON FIST himself. Mr SUPER KO Artist. Vitali the KO Artist KOitschko.

    Prime Rahman (knocked him out 2nd fight)


    and last of all Past Prime Mike Tyson.

    But get this. Tyson's ONE PUNCH KO Power was actually MUCH more devastating as he got older and thicker. Yes, Mike was shot, and yes Mike was slow after R1. BUT power is what guys?

    Power is what? POWER IS THE LAST THING TO GO. Always. Tyson still had his amazing one punch KO Power. So he still counted as a massive puncher.

    Anyways list one HW Champion that beat as many big punchers as Lennox.

    Pretty good for a 'weak chin' ATG. To have beaten as many punchers as he did.

    :think:think Either Lewis was very very lucky or his chin was actually very very very very very under rated.

    I disagree. He didn't beat as many punchers. And the punchers he beat weren't as devastating as the guys Lewis beat.
    Ali is a close 2nd though.

    The 7-8 'big' punchers Ali 'beat' wasn't quite as big punching as the 11+ Lewis beat. Half the list also is debatable in terms of weather or not they are truly lethal 'ko artists'

    Referring to Ring magazine's top 100 punchers in your argument is an easy option, but not an especially effective one if deeper debate is required. There are many fighters that shouldn't be on there, many that should, and many that seem to have been placed there for reasons that wholly escape my understanding.

    So Shavers,Liston,Frazier,Foreman shouldnt be there?

    Shavers and Foreman are alongside Joe Louis probably the biggest punchers in the history of the heavyweight division harder punches than anyone Lewis fought and Ali fought them in their primes unlike Lewis who the biggest puncher he ever fought Tyson was a shell of his former self when Lewis fought him.

    Nobody said Lewis fought bigger punchers then Shavers and Foreman.
    But the overall accumulation of big punchers Lewis faced was impressive.
    Also why keep finding Ali? Find another HW that BEAT more big punchers then Lewis.

    Tyson ****ing paid 4 million dollars in the mid 90's to avoid a fight. Why must people go over that again and again. You don't have to degrade another fighter to make one you like more look better you know.
