    Agree with Duodenum,

    Cobb had the toughness to go distance with Lewis, but it would be a horribly one sided affair.

    Lewis would be too much for the tough chinned Cobb RSC

    The lovely Ms. Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

    She's a bit older than that now mind.

    Lewis would shut out Cobb, but Tex would give Lennox a couple of anxious moments.

    Lewis by easy ud, Cobb has one of the best chins I've ever seen and Lewis isn't going to crack it

    Lennox isn't going to hurt Cobb at all, so early on he takes the Larry Holmes approach, and wins an easy 12 round decision.

    And he would have brain damage afterwards.

    Shommel is easily king of ****, uninspiring and wholly uninteresting threads.

    I'd love to find out if she's indeed murder on the dancefloor.

    I'm not so sure a prime Lennox does not stop him ... Cobb was brutally tough but getting hit by a prime Lennox is a big difference than getting hit by a prime Holmes ... the Shavers Cobb fought was an old man ... Cobb was strong and touch but slow and no big puncher ... a stoppage to me is not out of the question ..

    Randall has a better chin than Evander.Whereas Lewis would win a wide decision,he's not knocking Cobb out.

    Yeah I noticed that I had made that post a while back, as this is a recycled thread... Come to think of it, I think Lewis would have stopped him.. Sure fighters of lesser durability have taken Lewis the distance, but some of them at least had better conditioning and some sort of skill set... Cobb would eat up punches as badly as he did against Holmes, only there would be real power behind them.. I can't see any referee or ringside doctor being inhumane enough to let that fight continue for too long...

    Cobb got hit by Earnie Shavers but Shavers was not really a follow-up type of guy and he winded like he did vs Lyle, Mercado, Stallings, Holmes....Cobb had a good chin but was so easy to hit Holmes hit him with everything he owned but there would be a big difference with getting hit 75 times a rd vs Holmes and 40 times by Lewis, Cobb does not make it to the 9th

    Lewis would have knocked Cobb out. No way Cobb succeeds in suriviving the distance with Lewis. Cobb was just too easy to hit, and Lewis was just too big, too good, and too powerful.
