    Fair opinion, but there are glaring exceptions to that rule like Louis, Marciano, Dempsey and Patterson.

    Do you see Willard go up and down like a Jojo after LL unleashes bombs on a totally defenseless deer? For like 7 times?

    I´m talking about that fellow right here:

    Willard had an Iron Jaw and amazing will. Did you hear about what Dempsey did to him? Broken jaw, teeth missing, hearing loss. Willard had never been knocked down in his career before that, even after 20 rounds of punishment with Jack Johnson.

    Yes Dempsey hits harder than Lennox Lewis, not only that, but he was faster, more vicious, and had a better chin

    Instead of Lennox Lewis's highlight reel, how about you watch his fights

    I guess thats why Joe Cox, who was even skinnier than David Jaco, broke his jaw and made him quit. Thats what I call an iron jaw too. Fighting 28 fights stated by boxrec :lol:

    So I ask you again: Do you see Lennox Lewis, swinging at full force at a defenseless Willard, standing over him when he is barely standing up, for SEVEN ATTEMPTS and dozens and dozens of punches (Dempsey getting arm weary) WITHOUT KEEPING WILLARD DOWN?

    Are you seriously thinking Lewis would punch himself out for an entire round on a defensless stooped men, standing right over him, to knock that man out?

    I don't see Lewis knocking Willard down in the first round to begin with?

    JEESUS CHRIST!! Lennox Lewis gets to stand over his opponent whilst wearing horse haired gloves and batter them repeatedly....is that a Mortal Kombat fatality???

    Trying to make a point about what? Willard had an underrated chin, Lewis had great but overrated power. In combination with the fact that he isnt as fast or ferocious as Dempsey, he wouldn't knock Willard down in the first round.

    I see Lewis vs Willard as probably a one sided slaughter with Lewis putting him away after a huge combination in 3-5 rounds

    I'm a big Dempsey fan, and no, he doesn't hit as hard as Lennox Lewis. Despite fighting cautiously, Lewis is near the top in terms of most powerful punchers in history.

    Douglas and Holyfield aren't "light handed" in any way. shape or form. Lets be honest.

    Ok so by 180 you mean anything under 190, in the 180's.

    Louis wasn't in the 180's, he was around 200-205 at his best. A genuine 200 pounder or more.

    Prime Tyson’s way too polished and mean for Tua. Tyson would slip and absorb Tua’s bombs and then it’s over from there (probably second round max). Any version of Tyson until 2002. I think Tua could win if he fights Tyson 2002 onward.

    The ol' mass (m) x acceleration (a) = Force equation. You can play around with variables, and nominate whichever big puncher you want.
