    He still made Lennox look really bad , Lennox should have never struggled with that caliber of fighter .

    Louis for one, he got his ass handed to him by Schmeling.

    Probably not, but I really haven't seen a boxer who didn't have the occasional bad fight. It's pretty hard to always be at the top of your game.

    Sometime, you loose weight to quickly (not the heavyweights) sometime you have the flu, sometimes you go in the ring with an injury perhaps suffered during sparring, sometimes you didn't train as well as you should have, and sometimes a certain style will give you problems and sometimes you get caught with a punch that 8/10 times you would have blocked it or avoided it in some manner.

    That's why so few fighters can say they beat every man they ever fought. Lewis is one of the few who can.

    Mavrovic wasn't exactly a bum; he had fairly fast hands and feet and was technically sound. His punching power was somewhat limited but not featherfisted.

    I'd go so far as to say that his chin was better than Wlad's.

    Judging by skills shown, Mavovich was better than both Wach and Pianeta. Judging by their respective performances against Lewis and Wlad, Mavrovich was better. Judging by their rankings by a meaningless ABC org, Mavrovich was better. I never said he was a world beater. I never called any fighter "euro bum", but objectively looking at them fight, Mav was the best of the bunch. Pretty simple really. :-(

    Did people actually watch this fight?

    Mohawk wasn't competitive, it was hardly "life and death".

    However, he showed an inhuman chin in the number of flush shots he took from Lewis. Uppercuts, straight rights, looping right hands. He deserves lots of credit for that.

    That fight was pretty much the 90s equivalent of Klitschko/Wach.

    holly **** did you seen those upper cuts Lewis lands with at :52 and then :56 actually he probably hit him with 4-5 of those during the bout.

    Mavrovic clearly has a chin of granite.
