Aside from Ali , who beats Lennox?

Did Lewis ever get 3 DAYS WITHOUT FOOD PRIOR TO FIGHTING?

 

Their were also some hard shots he took without going down!

 

Fresher than Holy though.

Lewis had 10 year long pro career at that time, Holy - 15 years.

Lennox had 10 title fights compared to Holy's 18

Lennox's first title fight came in 1993, whyle Holy's - in 1986.

So Lennox wasn't a spring chicken, but clearly the fresher of the two.

 

In one of the early rounds of their 2nd, Foreman stunned Joe with a right hand and followed up immediately with a viscous left hook. Most, including Lewis would've been floored by that. You can credit Lewis with many advantages against the likes of Dempsey, Frazier, etc but chin is just ridiculous.

 

Yes, and Lewis couldn't even get up. Lewis didn't need a plan B, he just got counted out.

 

Foreman was a lot better than Rahman too, let's face it.

 

We were talking about Frazier getting hit by Rahman, I think.
Frazier would get up, in my opinion, and probably beat Rahman up.

 

TBH, I don't think Frazier would've even went down.

 

I honestly think that Frazier was one of the great heavyweights who was least likely to lose to somebody who was not a great fighter.

His game was pretty fail safe.

It took somebody at or close to his level to beat him.

 

botha-punch was set up with a jab. clearly not a one punch knockout lmao
Williams-the ref stopped the fight, he wasn't counted out
spinks-obviously was hurt the beating he was getting
berbick-was taking a beating long before the left hook took him out. Less than a second earlier Tyson had just landed a right to the body.
Tillman-Tyson was all over him the entire rd landing tons of punishment. Also landed a jab to the solar plexus before he threw the right hand.
mathis-I guess you missed the 3 punches that came immediately before that.

Do you honestly know what a one punch knockout is? Well first of all its only 1 punch...

 

Lewis faced many Punchers perhaps. But he was too clever to receive actual big punches from them.

 

Frazier had no plan B because he could not punch on the way in anymore. What could he do?

Frazier was handicapped by having lost a vital range from his game. He could still punch hard but he had to walk in first. From then on He felt his way in without punching. He'd lost that pinpoint focus that had allowed him to time Ali on the way in.

Foreman drew a line in the canvas where he knew Frazier could not reach him and he kept pushing joe behind that line and kept swatting Frazier as he walked up to the line.

And let's not forget, there is no shame in losing to Foreman past his best.
