Holyfield/Tyson vs the Rahman punch in South Africa against Lenni

Sonny boy, I've forgotten more about everything than you'll ever know, never mind just boxing.

 

So now what you are saying is the other 40 guys Lewis fought couldn't or didn't hit as hard as the punch Rahman landed. Because I can assure you each and everyone of them hit him, and hard.

Looks like you have finally cottoned on.:rofl:rofl

 

Nice of you to suggest Lewis' defense is up there with Mayweather's but it really wasn't. But since you're obviously new to boxing, in terms of whether or not Lewis could take a punch, just watch his last fight with Vitali. Vitali clearly hit him with clean punches repeatedly and yet Lewis gutted out a huge win.

 

Which is yet another way of saying NO ONE else did or could hit him as hard as Rahman managed to do. Still think Holy or Tyson could have taken that shot and not even blinked?

This is fun.

Here is another question for you.

Forget the earlier KD that Cotton ruled a push, do you think the shot that Lennox knocked Tyson the fuk out with in the 8th was harder than the one he took from Rahman, or not?

 

So. accirding to you, Lennox got it flush on the sweet spot with full blooded leverage? And you think that makes him 'chinny' and 'girly'?

 

Beat me to it. Arghh.

That was going to be my coup de gras.

 

The thing about that reasoning is Tyson was taking arguable the same power punches from Lewis as the actual ko punch the whole fight until he eventually went down in the 8th. So Rahman would have to land that punch he took Lewis out with a few times on Tyson I reckon

 

So you are saying Lewis's shots were as hard or harder than the one he took from Rahman? Hmm, interesting.

Nah, Tyson took one similar to that in the 4th, which was perfectly good but Cotton ruled it a push. Then again earlier in the 8th Cotton pulls Lewis away as Tyson starts to go down but manages to right himself. Make no mistake the only thing that prolonged Tyson's agony was inept refereeing from Cotton. Just look at the finishing shot again, Lennox has his hands raised BEFORE Tyson hits the canvas. He KNOWS that was the money shot.

Sorry foxy. I was leaving you to say 'flush on the face' is hardly 'the sweet spot'. If you go down from a shot flush on the face, I assume you've got a glass, erm, nose?

There really was enough muppetry to go round.

 

personally I think the Lewis punch is definitely as hard at least, he had destructive power. He near killed Rahman with one shot, granted that the chin it was placed on wasn't the best but I thought Hasim died. To me it showed Tyson had a chin of the ages to take those Lewis shots like that

 

If you are insinuating that holyfield did not have better chin than lewis Then you are more dumb than i could imagine
