    I respect what you're saying, but on a side note, I don't feel Vitali is quite the puncher he's made out to be

    Both would take the punch without showing any effect on the outside. Both evander and Tyson took big punches from Lewis and Holyfield without blinking. Lewis punched harder than rahman.
    Tyson(although not in condition in the fight) did go down eventually but that was after a tremendous beatdown and a right haymaker by one of the biggest punchers ever.

    Danny Williams confirmed it when he said that even a shot Tyson hit him harder than anything he has been hit with in his life and that Vitali did not even come close in terms of punching power.

    Hahahahaha Lenni you chinny girl

    Watch Holyfield take the same exact punch from Rahman like a boss.

    The proof of the pudding is in the pudding itself. I have posted video evidence of Holyfield taking the same exact punch which exposed girly lenni not once but twice like a boss which clearly disproves the nonsense "We will never know", "That punch would have knocked out anyone in history".

    We all know that Tyson and Holyfield took much bigger shots and survived them, so there's no need to argue about that.

    they probably would have been wobbled by that punch and survived is my guess. They had necks like bull dogs, Lennox had one like a giraffe. but I still think Lennox had a decent chin, he took some big shots in his career and would never have been as great as he was if you go with the ridiculous "glass chin" myth, but he could be taken out by that peach punch. whereas I think guys like Tyson and Holyfield would get hurt first by that kind of punch.

    Thank you EE:thumbsup: That "girlie Lenni" crap makes me cringe and lose any respect at all for a poster...his spiteful, disrespectful emotions detracts from any meaning objectivity that he may have.
    Besides that, this place has too damned many emoticons...it's ridiculous.

    Watch Larry take the same punch from Mccall like a boss from 16:32-16:55 where even he was sucker punched. Even the commentator is commenting it is the exact same punch which Lenni could not take. Not looking good for Lenni nut huggers

    I can't imagine Tyson or Holyfield being knocked down by that 1 punch that Rahman landed.

    Any heavyweight worth his salt will not get knocked down like that.

    Lewis wasn't exactly out cold. But no. I think Tyson and Holyfield both took a better shot than Lennox, although I believe Lewis' punch resistance tends to be underrated, and sometimes grossly underrated.

    He was lucky to be tall and 250 lbs which played a huge role in a vast majority of fighters being unable to exploit it. Bottomline, he could be taken out with a punch.
