Felix Savon v Lennox Lewis

His reach was also very good..

 

I'm not trying to deny Savon's skills, I'm just critical of his career, though it's not like he could've done any better in his situation. I just dislike when people assume he wouldn't went pro and destroyed the competition based on how he did against much younger, smaller, lesser skilled, lesser experienced fighters.

He did seem to have a solid all around game and good power though, so we'll never know how his pro game would've went, but I'm definitely not about to favor him over Lewis.

 

It also says he was a beanpole.

 

I would favour Savon over LL - but it could go either way. Savon had same power but probably more sound fundamentals. Its a toos up - and an interesting thread.

 

How can you compare an all time great puncher like lewis with savon, in the power stakes.

 

In a professional fight?

 

Well - Savon had a very impressive KO% and I believe he could have become alot better at the HW pro's.

Lennox had very good power but not supernatural like a prime Tyson or Foreman.

Power is probably equal, but LL may have the edge.

 

Yes.

 

Savon could do in amateur ring same things than most heavyweight champs do in Pro- ring, with smaller gloves and without headgear ...he was strong dude.
