    I am sorry but didn't Bruno comfortably outbox lenni for all of their 7 rounds till lenni got the lucky punch in?

    Point is if lenni is so vulnerable to that one big shot to the face then anyone on planet earth has a chance against him.

    Everybody had the ability to box with Mike the Giant White. :lol: Everybody didn't get stopped by him, though. Like Douglas did.

    On his best night (Buster's) ... he had to get off the floor and be saved by the bell to beat Tyson.

    Sorry. I'm just not buying that Douglas wins.

    Go watch the Lewis-Tua fight again, and watch Lewis jab and move and hammer Tua.

    Douglas wouldn't even score on that Lewis. Lennox's jab that evening would've beaten Buster down on Buster's best night.

    Lewis was the mover, the jabber, the guy firing right hands and not getting hit in return that evening.

    And was that even Lennox's best fight? The Tua match?

    How bad a performance would Lewis have to turn in for Douglas to outbox him? Lewis may have been his slowest (and was definitely his oldest) against Vitali.

    Could Buster take the right hands that ripped Vitali face apart? Because Vitali had one of the best chins ever.

    Buster got dropped by freaking everyone. I see no scenario where Buster wins ... unless Lewis suddenly shrunk to 5'11" and his reach was reduced by more than foot.

    And the Lennox Lewis of the Golota fight wipes out Buster in about the same amount of time as he stopped Golota.

    No ... he didn't outbox him for seven rounds.

    And Lewis smashed Bruno in the seventh.

    Did you score the seventh round that Frank got stopped in for Bruno?

    Are you saying the Douglas-Lewis fight would have to be Lewis in the Bruno fight and it would have to be scheduled for six rounds?

    :lol:

    And he faced the best fighters of his era ... and not only did ANYONE not have a chance, but the only two guys who DID land that one punch the first fight ... couldn't do it twice.

    Lewis did not win a single round in that fight except for the seventh when he got the lucky left hook in.

    Right. :roll::lol:

    He never won a single round except for the round where he scored a brutal knockout.

    And, in your mind, that means Buster Douglas wins?

    The Douglas who got floored by the much shorter Tyson and had to be saved by the bell that night?

    Gotta go to bed now.

    This is getting ridiculous.:hi:

    And Lewis was stopped by McCall, who Douglas comfortably outboxed.

    Why ? Why watch Lewis outjabbing a short guy with no jab, if we're talking about Douglas-Lewis. Makes no sense.
    Makes even less sense than refering to Douglas-Tyson, which we both agree is silly.

    Yeah, you're doing exactly what "Tokyo Douglas" fanatics like to do with Douglas-Tyson, going on about how Lewis beat some short guy, except it's worse because at least Tyson was a more complete boxer than the likes of Tua.

    The same as he did against Bruno and Mercer. The same as he did in the Holyfield rematch probably too.
    Basically, Lewis wasn't great against guys who boxed well behind a jab. Mercer was a stationary plodder and boxed Lewis on even terms. Bruno was a stiff plodder too. Holyfield was already way past it, had looked stale for years, and struggled badly with Ruiz around the same time.

    Buster wouldn't stand there like Vitali and Lewis did, in that embarrassingly skilless brawl.

    McCall didn't drop him. :good

    I just disproved you that lenni could never be out boxed.

    And everyone and their brother DIDN'T get knocked out by Mike "The GIant" White or Louis Monaco.

    McCall landed one punch and won. Rahman landed one punch and won. In the rematches, they didn't land that ONE punch so they didn't win.

    And everyone else who fought Lewis didn't land that one punch ... and they didn't win, either.

    If you didn't land that one punch against Lewis, HE WON. He beat you. I'm not just saying that. It's true.

    Would Buster Douglas land that one punch ... or would he cave ... because he caved a lot?

    No, Buster Douglas isn't landing that one punch. And he isn't outboxing Lewis over 12 ... because NOBODY did.

    Buster Douglas was a frontrunner. If he was winning, everything was fine. If he got in any trouble. He folded. And he was folding when he was on the floor against Tyson. But the one-minute's rest saved him.

    Lewis had much longer arms than Tyson did. He'd hit Douglas more often than Tyson did. And Douglas would fold. Because that's what Douglas did.

    And if every fight was scheduled for five rounds ... you'd be the big winner.

    :lol::patsch

    Holyfield was coming off stoppage wins over Tyson (twice) and Moorer and he was considered the best heavyweight in the world when Lewis fought him.

    And Buster Douglas lasted THREE ROUNDS with Holyfield.

    How does Evander Holyfield LOSING to Lewis somehow equate to Douglas beating Lewis?

    Styles make fights.

    Buster Douglas could, on his best night, beat a shorter Mike Tyson. Several people beat up a shorter Mike Tyson.

    Nobody outboxed Lewis over 12.

    Douglas and his weak chin and his propensity for quitting throughout his entire career when he felt the tide was turning certainly wouldn't.

    Because Lewis was going to hit him alot.

    And if the question is, if they fought 10 times, how many times does Buster Douglas score a one-punch knockout over Lennox Lewis ... the answer is ZERO, too.

    Now I must go. Goodnight. :hi:

    Louis Monaco wasted a fat comeback Douglas by hitting him after the break when Buster dropped guard and turned towards his corner.. He got DQ'd for that.

    Thats the same as saying the Buster who moved and jabbed and totally dominated Mike Tyson would humiliate Lennox Lewis.


    Japan Mike Tyson >> Any version of David Tua.

    Douglas stopped and was more impressive against the better Tyson than Lewis was against a lesser Tua.

    Your claim is nonsense from a stylistic point of view.
