    I would ask you why,in the thread about Joshua v the older champs you made this statement referring to the Joshua v Takam fight?


    "He was giving away a whoping 19lb. Neinteen pounds. That's the difference in weight from featherweight to welterweight. Don Curry v Barry Mcguigan. Is that a fair fight?"
    This is another of you comments on the size disparity between Joshua and Takam.
    "I do feel Joshua had an unfair amount of advantages over Takam though. He was giving away height, reach, age, weight."

    Takam was conceding 18.5lbs, 4.5inches in height ,and 2 inches in reach.
    Not a fair fight in your opinion
    Yet you pick a 205lbs Frazier to beat Lewis?
    A Frazier who would be conceding 40lbs in weight,6 inches in height and 11 inches in reach?
    Is that a fair fight ? Are they fair advantages?


    Do you see the contradiction here?lol

    Well I agree that Lewis with his skills plus size would be too tough for Frazier to handle, but I think Lewis size is an anomaly as well. It's rare that I see a 6'6 250 pounder, especially one that's not lumbering. I think Lewis size was outside the norm as well.

    Yes and if you go trawling back through my posts on that particular thread (I have no idea why you and John Thomas have such a fetish for such comedy) you might reach the bit where I made my "if it was good for the goose it's good for the gander" point.

    It's another example where weight is a big difference for normal fighters/champions but that Exceptional fighters can be exceptions to the rules.

    Good luck with the next time consuming effort. And try harder next time chum.

    It didn't take any time, I just enjoyed showing you moving the goalposts yet again.

    Fetish for comedy? Don't you know you are comedy gold?

    Carnera was better than given credit for. Not so high up as Lennox mind you, but Like Lewis, Carnera was a amongst the best of the genuine super heavyweight champions we have ever had.

    Think of the best 240 pounders of all time. There's Lennox, mrs Klitschkos boys and not far away Bowe, Primo and Willard.

    Primo is a top ten "must" among plus size champs over 240.

    Foreman beat Frazier. He beat a poor Frazier. We will never know how poor or if George would beat the best Frazier. We just don't.

    But Foreman had a better chin than Lewis. I think that's safe to say.
