    OK. We are discussing two different things then. I am discussing the sport of boxing.

    Past prime 37 y.o. Holy pushed prime Lewis to a very close fight (2nd fight).

    Prime Holy had much better speed and workrate. He can win. Not a given, but his chances are fine.

    If McCall & Rahman had hit Frazier with those right hands they would have gone too.Don't kid yourself about that!

    Answer the question .Just because he had Frazier down doesnt make him a top banger and he wasn't! Mike Bruce floored Frazier ,his ko percentage?15%! Frazier fought one top puncher and got used as a yo yo.End Of.

    True, but just because Rahman had Lewis sparked out doesn't make him a top banger either.

    He isn't a top banger but I would bet my house the right hand he landed on Lewis would have had the same effect on Frazier! Lewis avenged his losses Frazier didn't.

    Lewis's chin might not've been on the level of Frazier, Foreman, Dempsey, Liston, etc but it wasn't Klitschko or Patterson glass.

    Frazier got up from some incredible bombs from Foreman (especially the 1st round uppercut, second KD).

    Check out the slow-motion at 4:40

    Frazier got up from that. He'd get up from Rahman's right hand.

    Lewis chin faced a damn sight more punchers than Frazier's ever did!

    Lewis takes a great right hand from Rahman just before he is stopped.

    I've seen this probably 100 times his balls get him back up but he doesn't know where the f*ck he is.Durham should have thrown the towel in,and Mercante a great referee was slow in stopping it.

    Did Lewis ever get decked by a Bonavena type or coldcocked by someone as lowly as a losing streak Flynn?
