Staggered but not dropped while Frazier was dropped twice. I don't know about shoulda and woulda, if Lowry deserved decision against Marciano then Bonavena deserved decision against Frazier. He hit harder, all opponents who faced Tyson,Foreman and Cooney said that Shavers hit harder but guess you don't like that smaller man can hit harder than bigger man. Only Shavers and Foreman hit harder than Marciano the rest are not even comparable to his one punch Ko power. He would be more effective than Frazier even Ali said so.
That punch moved Louis so much only ropes were holding him from flying over the ring. And Louis was the bigger and taller man than Frazier.
Everybody has to get into the mental ring with BF sometime. At least you know that you'll always get a win.
I hate to use the Ignore function (only once previously) but if ever it were justified. Page after page of total rubbish.
Wait, wait. I don't want you to bury the lead. Do you really think that only Shavers and Foreman hit harder than Marciano? Not Lewis or Wlad or Ruddock (or a couple dozen other heavies I could rattle off)? Is that your serious assertion?
Who the hell Lewis knocked that was good and that had average chin at best? Ruddock or Rahman or Morrison? Ruddock hell no Wlad maybe.
How many punches, not rounds but punches, would Lewis take to put away Don C o c k e l l? How about Roland Lastarza or wide open Rex Layne? Rocky had to throw the kitchen sink at those dudes. Punch for punch, I would rank Lionel Butler above Marciano.
Lewis couldn't one punch KO shot and old Morrison and didn't want to fight a southpaw with average chin at best called Chris Byrd.
