    Wlad would of been knocked out, Tyson Fury would of been knocked out. Guys like Wilder and Joshua would of been knocked out. Hell I would say Holmes would of been at least knocked down by that punch. Ali was knocked down by 190 pound Henry Cooper and 190 pound Sonny Banks so that punch would probably knock him down too. Ali was hurt numerous times by guys who weren't huge punches. He could just recoup really quickly.

    Tyson even though I don't like him didn't get hurt by 1 punch that often.

    Tyson and Holyfield were better than Rahman's punch but Lewis was too vulnerable.
    Otherwise shot Tyson could take every prime Ruddock punch.

    I have posted 2 videos where the same Mccall and Rahman punches which landed on Lenny had no effect on the likes of Holyfield and a 45 year old Holmes so this is rubbish.

    If a shot Tyson can take Lenny's punches for 9 rounds, Ruddock is no problem.

    Touching story. There I don't know who a Lenny is so maybe he can't take a punch. I do know a Lennox Lewis though.

    Also apparently reading is hard for you. I said that punch wouldn't have knocked Holyfield out Rahman never fought Holmes so everything you typed is boring and rubbish. McCall landing a punch on Holmes has nothing to do with the thread. It is about Rahman's punch on Lewis.

    Lol Tyson didn't take Lennox Lewis punches for 9 rounds. Lennox Lewis hurt his right hand and couldn't throw it for a while. Lewis also toyed with Tyson for all of the stuff he was saying before the fight. If he didn't hurt his hand and wanted to put Tyson out of the way earlier he would of.

    People comment that those same punches would have knocked anybody else out, i have classically proven that to be nonsense.

    Oh please, he was hitting Tyson with everything in all the rounds i.e. left hooks, jabs, upper cuts and even the right hand so that disproves he couldn't use that right hand. A desperate fighter like Lewis who hated taking risks and who would do anything to win did nothing different that night. He only took Tyson out after 9 rounds of continuous destruction and an egoistic narrcist fighter like him at the post fight interview and many interviews afterwards to date still expresses shock as to how he was able to take such a beating.

    Lol, there is no could have.

    You are like redrooter with SRL, until now i never thought it possible another human being could get quite as infatuated as that. All that hate is not exactly conducive to a long healthy life. It's like Groundhog Day.
