    I rate punchers on how many seconds I would last.

    That`s true even strong guys like David Tua decided to play it safe after tasting a couple decent right hands from The Big Dog.

    So it would take until the right cross landed? :think

    Are you sure you can handle Lennox's jab without going nighty-night? Is this scenario assuming you ate your Wheaties and drank your PED shakes all through camp?

    Unless Lewis has the ability to teleport (which he might I haven't watched his fights recently) I think it would take him that long to cross the ring and land a punch.

    Huge puncher, but not in the league of foreman, marciano, Baer, Louis or Frazier

    I don't want to assign a rating to it. He likely hit as hard, or almost as hard as anybody. At times he opted to box rather than slug, so his KO percentage may not reflect it.

    Tyson had a iron chin? Iron Chin guys don't get knocked out by Buster Douglas. Iron chins are guys like prime Tua, Oliver Mccall. Tyson at best had decent chin.

    I would say Lennox Lewis was a harder puncher than Tyson who admitted himself he got his power from speed. I would say Foreman, Morrison, or maybe even Riddick Bowe hit harder punch for punch.

    From a 1 to 10 I woud say Lewis was a 8 puncher compared to other modern sized heavyweights.

    It is funny how Marciano's name always get throw into the mix. I am assuming that is what you find funny Foxy 01 huh?

    Marciano wasn't a heavyweight never faced a heavyweight or beat a modern sized heavyweight but his punching power is higher than Lewis? Frazier wasn't a one punch fighter. He was a break you down puncher for the most part. Who did Baer knock out? Primo Canera? Louis power was good against the 3rd rate hack fighters he faced.

    Lennox was a monster. I just rematched the Tua bout and thirty seconds in when Tua felt that power the whole fight changed and Tua actually had a terrific chin. I also caught the Bothra fight and Lewis practically knocked him out of the ring. Lennox Lewis in my opinion hit as hard as anyone, Foreman, Liston, Shavers, anyone.
