    Don't know about that. It's the punch you don't see that causes the most damage. Foreman and Tyson were both down more times than Lewis was. But l've thought about Foreman vs Lewis a bit more and even though the Ring magazine picked Lewis l'm leaning towards Foreman.

    Were they from a single shot to the face? Lewis saw both punches with both his eyes, it was not as if he was sucker punched.

    Please... The chin of foreman was MILES better than lennox's. How many times was forman knocked out ? And how many times got stopped by clean cold ko punch? (DESPITE HE HAD WORSE DEFENCE THAN LEWIS)
    And lewis?

    Pretty simple actually. Lenni will get exposed as the girl that he is.

    I could see either outcome to be honest.

    You really don't know what you're talking about, he never seen the McCall punch at all as he was punching at the same time. And in that fact he was up before the count, but the ref decided he couldn't continue. Many other champs in a similar situation were given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to continue. That said, it was a close enough call that I don't fault the ref for stopping it when he did.

    But if you think Lewis saw the McCall punch I suggest you stick to your UFC cause you know **** about boxing.

    Well I'm bring facts to the table and you're bring bull ****. Lyle had Foreman down twice in one fight. Nobody knows whether or not Lewis would have went down with those punches, or even hit by them. They of course Ali knocked Foreman out so every fighter can get KO's but I guess that who concept is beyond your childish view of the world.

    Like I said, I picked Foreman, and I don't mind saying he has a better chin, although that Rahman shot was pretty wicked and there certainly wasn't no defense to be found by Lewis.

    But don't make it sound like it's the only possible outcome and not having a good defense against Lewis, can be dangerous.

    Foreman himself twittered recently that Lewis was a top ATG fighter, and I think for the most part when you're at the elite level, no fight is a given. You probably picked Tyson to beat Lewis too.

    That rahman shot was not wicked at all. The likes of holyfield and Tyson would have stood on their feet. Stop making excuses for your beloved.

    I'm done talking with you. If this wasn't the internet you'd be paying for my time, and talking to a loser like you is a complete waste.

    Consider yourself blocked.

    Not the 2002 version. Everyone knows the man line Foreman has for lenni. Even went to give him a shoulder in the dressing room immediately after the rahman starching.

    Only losers are people who pretend that McCall and rahman did not happen and then make lame excuses.
