Sonny Liston v Lennox Lewis in a street fight?

You are a baaaaaaad man Rich!!!

But yes the talkers usually can't back it up. Not all mind you, but almost all.

I still think Lewis would be dangerous tho.

 

And I was not even looking for a fight, I did my thing, others can do theirs. But that guy talked too much, a show off. If a person knows what he can do, there is no reason to boast, that spells Insecurity.

 

You think Lennox once was HW champion of the world would have a melt down in an American prison because he was a little gun shy with Mike Tyson? Lad...

 

Thanks buddy, you are too. Lol.

 

It's really just fruitless speculation. Sonny beating up on random no hopers on the streets matters apparently I get the indication, he's willing to fight outside a ring so it's an "edge" but thinking Lennox Lewis, former HW champion of the world is going to be psyched out in a bare handed fight is hilarious especially when there are trashy hood kids in my neighbourhood scrapping with everybody that will have a go.

 

Not to promote or advertise road rage - but check the hands and shifting of stance by the older guy - definitely not his first rodeo and a good chance of some previous formal boxing training.

The story went that the younger guy initiated - and, as can be seen, the older guy finished it. Nice combo punching and assortment of shots.

This was in Australia and if you listen carefully, when the younger guy moves to approach again the older guy tells him to “F*ck Awfff!” LOL, true Aussie style:-

He showed that slag something, probably bet everything on the older boy being punked by his size. The big fella learned something, really it was a labour of love from the older fellow.

 

Like Glass City Cobra posted, in Prison it is another world. There is no one on one fighting. Gangs jump other prisoners, sometimes in the showers and yards. If let's say you are a professional boxer, you might get assaulted by others because you have money. You then have to pay other prisoners rent or get beat up. Rent could be in the form of money, cigarettes, or even smuggled in Drugs. We had a Doctor who killed another Doctor because he was jealous of him, he hired a hit man who eventually killed that Physician outside of his office. The hiring Physician and hit man were sentenced to life in prison. The inmates were always assaulting that physician every day, broke his cheekbone. The other cellmates made it known that they wanted rent because that murdering physician was wealthy. There is no James Scott boxing with other inmates. It is kill or be killed, or be a good wife to a cellmate.

 

I could not tell that Lewis was rattled vs. Tyson, why do you think this?
Also I understand that Lewis hurt his right hand during the bout, but tons of guys fail to finish guys in a timely manner for reasons other than fear-like Ali messing with an opponent.

 

There is PLENTY of one on ones, lots of guys are proud of there ability to scrap and love there rep. Some are in there because they beat there chest so often. Gang attacks happen, but a lot of prisons are boring, most guys don't even want to fight for the consequences they'll face and a VAST amount of self respecting street guys and career crims aren't just in there rap!ing people. It really varies but what you're describing is some mad max wasteland inside where you have to go in like a prison movie and fight Bubba on day one or be rap3d in the a$$. I'm not saying some of that stuff doesn't happen it does but it's not dealt in absolutes.

 

It honestly just looked like Lewis was playing with him and Manny was sick of it.

 

Yes my friend, but this was not necessarily even caution if his hand was hurt.

 

This killed me man...

 

After being wrongfully imprisoned for illegally squatting in a dumpster, I could see Lewis introducing and running a chess club in prison, serving to placate and refine even the most hardened inmates.

Though he didn’t look like, walk or talk like the other inmates, Lennox eventually establishes himself as a model prisoner, admired by both fellow inmates and staff.

Meanwhile, Lewis patiently and painstakingly digs a tunnel over decades that facilitates his ultimate escape and long deserved freedom.

Ironically, Lennox Claudius cleverly hides the hole in his cell with a huge poster of a scowling Sonny Liston - allowing Lennox to self heal, no longer consumed by malice or hate toward the man actually responsible for his incarceration so many years before…….

EDIT: Test audiences were none too thrilled with the ALTERNATE ENDING in which, upon catching wind of Lennox’s escape, Riddick Bowe tracks Lewis down and kills him - in response to audience aghast, producers cut out the final scenes - The original working title was The Bowe Redemption but it had to be pulled also for obvious reasons.

 

Lennox hits him with his special "anchor punch '', and puts liston down in seconds.

Lewis then starts running around sonny, shouting at him" Get up you big bum ''!

A few spectators whisper "I think the guy on the floor threw it ''...
