    Frazier and Bowe probably survive the shot and go on to turn it around, Wlad possibly could. Lewis is left sparked out staring at the stars IMO.

    Cosign.

    Frazier was never out cold, even against foreman. You had to shoot him to keep him from getting up.

    Bowe might survive because he was so damn big and only went down i think once against holyfield? Hecl pf a chin.

    Wlad showed guts against samuel peter and recently against joshua. He may have a weak chin but he knows how to survive. He might survie but i doubt it.

    Lewis never got up to win. He goes into a coma.

    I know John , it is one of those that are, like you say impossible in reality to predict, I suppose it was a question of who people thought generally would survive a similar punch from shavers. We saw how holmes reacted and I suppose it's asking how they compare to him in that situation. Quite understandable your answer, but some interesting answers given.

    That's true he did. Was a extremely hard punch from one of the hardest punching heavy s ever. But some how holmes got through the round! Amazing recuperative power.

    Frazier and Bowe would get up and knock him out.

    Wlad would probably survive, amazing survival skills.

    Lewis would be in a coma.

    I'm not ruling that out, but Wlad has good survival skills is all I'm saying.
