    Had argument at work with two co-workers who claimed 'Lenny McLean would have destroyed Lennox Lewis' based on his defeats!

    I tried to argue but they banging on about his bloody autobiography, which I said is bollocks and cuts out his defeats!

    People love pub tall tales....

    How about if Mike Tyson and Nonito Donaire met at a catchweight?

    Holyfield showed that Tyson could be bullied out of a fight. All Lenny has to do is follow the blueprint.

    You ****ing think so wouldn't you? People need to calm down over what a 28 year old bantamweight is likely to achieve....

    "If Pac can do it...." is like saying "if Henry Armstrong can do it..."

    Tyson always folded under pressure. All Lenny would have to do is stay in Tysons face and force the pace. McClean late rounds KO, possibly with Tysons corner throwing in the towel to save their man from further punishment.

    Very True. Lenny smoked liked a chimney too so the nicotine would keep his energy up in those later rounds :good

    And there's one of the big differences between bar-room brawlers and boxers. How the **** is someone whose fights lasted thirty seconds going to be as fit as a fighter who trained every day to go twelve rounds?
