    I wouldn't call someone crazy for thinking either could win; I think intelligent arguments could be made for either winning, even if they were "wrong".

    But he did knockout a Ruddock in 2 rounds after Tyson went life and death with him the year before.

    Life and death?

    That's a little overstated...

    There's no doubt Tyson failed to put away guys who, if they never fought, would be considered KO victims for sure...

    That's boxing; Lewis' power is a bit underrated anyway. He timed Ruddock and taught him a lesson for trying to jab to the body...

    How is it? Ruddock had Tyson hurt numerous times, he sure as hell finished stronger and was dominating Mike at the end. Fair enough Tyson busted him up too, but if the fight was 15 rounds I think the result could have been different.

    Holmes proved Ali was his inferior.

    Marciano proved Louis was his inferior.

    You see now?

    Please try again.

    ....So Foreman's results vs Frazier and Norton vs Ali's results vs Frazier and Norton prove Foreman was Ali's inferior?

    Dang I learn something new every day!

    Southpaw needs to stfu unless he produces some answers to my questions... Hes effectively disqualified himself from any conversation regarding these fighters until then...

    Predictably, he's ignoring them.
