    Lewis had better power than tyson, however tyson as a great combo puncher at spped allowing him to deliver a number of hard shots rather than one or two. The lewis uppercut or overhand right was a harder shot than any of tysons single shts.
    Also in regards to the fight savon was koing cruiserweights rather than 230+lbs men which makes a big difference so how can anyone say his power is as good as lewis with no proof.

    Its a matter of opinion and if you can come up with something concrete to convince other bloggers.

    Savon was fighting cruiserweights not heavyweights so that is one big difference for a start.
    The fact that lewis koed numerous big men with decent chins yet savon has no proof he could do the same, in my opinion means you can't compare there power.

    Lennox Lewis won 41 (KO 32) + lost 2 (KO 2) + drawn 1 = 44

    It's easier KO people in heavyweight than another series..

    Doesn't amateur pedigree mean anything?

    Not in the pro game, great ams can make rubbish pro's, being a great amateur doesn't automatically make you a great pro fighter.
