He is not alone with that feat; Rubin Carter off the top of my head, has a claim to doing that as well, and they are not the only two.
Ken Bunchanan says the same thing in his book a part from it was his trainer that tolhim it when he was a young kid and so he went about doing it for years until evntually someone told him that they were having him on
Naz, whilst we're talking about him, is also part of one of the biggest myths in boxing in recent years... Most peoplr insist that he was schooled by Barrera and yet it was a competitive fight for large parts of it. Most people had Naz lose by only 2-4 rounds.
Yup, even from people who should know better. Its just been nominated in the 'all time worst one-sided beatdowns' thread in the classic forum. Personally I gave him 3 rounds, could maybe see him being given a 4th. Not an absolute dominating beat-down. Doesnt seem to be said very often anymore but people used to think he was a bit chinny too which he definitely wasnt.
In some peoples memory this fight was a Calzaghe v Lacy type schooling when as you say although a fair result it was far from one sided.If you see the documentary on his preparation though it is a miracle he lasted the distance.
A 'lucky' punch. No such thing imo. Every punch thrown has the same intention. There are no ricochets. If it lands and he goes over, it's no accident.
That was a great shot. perfectley timed. The fact that his eyes were closed has nothing whatsoever to do with the intention of the punch. Nothing 'lucky' about it mate.:good
Listening to that 'lennox lewis career must now be in tatters' ARGH...fighters lose fights occasionally, does my head in when people act like its the end of the world, he was still young back then ffs.
