Lewis wouldn't enjoy the physical advantages today that he enjoyed in his own era. How would he adjust to being the smaller, weaker man in the ring?
A rough era? Were talking about an era in which Moorer, old Foreman, and Riddick Bowe all became lineal champions. I don't think any of those...
Also, I don't see how beating Holmes necessarily makes Spinks the man to beat. Holmes post-Cooney was blatantly ducking the best fighters in the...
I think Wladimir or Vitali could probably both beat Moorer in their 40s. The Wladimir that nearly beat Joshua probably beats Moorer.
Joshua is considerably better than McCall or Rahman, don't see any reasonable argument to the contrary. McCall lost to Bruno and barely made beat...
Some of the guys certainly didn't have very impressive physiques. If Bowe was on roids why wasn't it reflected in his build?
Yet Joe Bugner and Oscar Bonavena both were able to take Frazier's hook all night. Maybe its not such an impossible task even if you don't have...
I think if Frazier was a bigger puncher he would have a much better chance of winning this matchup. Tyson is of similar dimensions to Frazier but...
That's a good point regarding Dempsey
Ali was never tested against skilled super heavies like Wladimir Klitschko or Anthony Joshua. To think he does well today takes a pretty huge...
The guys Holyfield was fighting were on average considerably bigger than Frazier's opponents, I suspect if Holyfield had been fighting the smaller...
He blocked a lot with his face
Frazier has a pretty porous defense himself. Also I don't think Frazier hit like Lewis, Tyson, etc. Holyfield was probably a bigger puncher than...
So if Bowe was as limited as you say how did he beat someone as excellent as Holyfield twice?
Also this talk of Ali being more accomplished than Bowe doesn't account for the Foreman fights. Foreman is far less accomplished than Ali and...
