    You can say whatever you please. The shots that stopped Grant, Ruddock, Galota, and Rahman were as hard as anything Foreman ever threw. As for what the nationalistic bible thumping Holyfield said, who gives a ****? The goon claimed he WON the first Lewis fight.

    Tyson took a much better punch. Frazier had a much better heart.

    please... i should shot you in your head of ******... you are comparing a 45 years old fat guy vs a prime guy? dumb ****? still holyfield faced a 40 years old foreman(the best version of old foreman, more dinamic and solid) and he said that foreman did hit harder than tyson, lewis, bowe, bert cooper, tua (his sparring partner)... so i will listen to evader and not a cartoon like you:hi:

    oliver mccall rated cooper and buster douglas at harder punchers than lewis as well...

    Hey Heavy Hands, why do ya need to be mean to Foxey? i recall he used to do this, but reformed. Can you not become decent in tome? it would also help your credibility-& you have good opinions. No need to gravitate towards the cartoonish least common denominator of Internet etiquette.

    Foreman was 41 vs. Holyfield, & Lewis did not really unload on him, he was too cautious. Lewis hit really hard, but yes I think Foreman hit harder.

    I don't know about trusting McCall with his mental issues though.

    You make some pretty good points. Frazier is a vastly under appreciated fighter. Frazier was also much harder to hit most think.

    "Frazier was much harder to hit although Tyson in his prime was very difficult to hit." expert moontan
    exactly i don't understand why people think frazier's defense was bad.

    That's why Frazier's face ballooned up, looking to go out like Willy Lump Lump against Ali. Dude did a good job blocking Ali's punches with his face.

    Briggs hurt Lewis? I remember Lewis falling against the ropes but I also remember it being a balance issue

    :patsch tyson's face was much worse than frazier's after just 8 rounds of lennox lewis who was much slower than ali. getting your face ****ed up by the goat is far more excusable than getting your face ****ed up by a slow **** like lennox lewis.

    yes because making ali miss most of his shots is not as good as eating punches from lewis all night.:lol:

    Frazier most likely doesn't make it to the 5th against Lennox

    Yes he did catch Lewis, i think its a sneaky left hook off a jab at the end of the first round which has Lewis reeling backwards?

    Sometimes i give Lewis a pass about his chin, but that punch always makes me reconsider.
