How would you compare/contrast the power right hands of Lennox, Wlad and Louis?

Excellent post Jim. Agreed.

 

Wlad has the power to knock out club fighters after 10 rounds of punishment. Joe Louis had the power to knock out either people smaller than him or big unskilled guys like Max Baer and Buddy Baer after hitting them over and over again. Lennox Lewis had the power to knock out fighters like Hasim Rahman and Michael Grant but failed to even hurt people like a washed up Holyfield and Ray Mercer. Neither of these people had the right hand power to knock out world class fighers.

 

George Foreman pretty much knocked out Pierre Coetzer a good fighter with a pretty damn good chin with a jab right hand combo. George Foreman also knocked out Michael Moorer with a jab right hand combo. Wlad never knocked any fighters this good out with a right hand. Unless you consider fighters like Ray Austin and Tony Thompson good fighters.

 

:-(

 

Wait, Chris Warren is actually Foreman Rules, who vanished a while ago. I'm convinced.

 

Who's the ******* that posted this? Whoever he is he ought to be banned. Truth is simple. Hyperbole is a sign of desperation, and an all around pain in the ass. Take care of yourselves fellas. Chinx.

 

Lol Fist of Fury try again. Wait let me do to you what I have done to countless others. You are now ignored.

And Beston Brawler name one world class fighter that Wlad, Lewis or Louis knocked out? I mean world class because they are good not names like Billy Conn because they were popular back in the day.

When Lewis stepped up in class he usually struggled. Holyfield was done by the time Lewis got to him and he hit Holyfield with numerous big shots and couldnt even him. Ray Mercer is credited as having this incredible chin but Holyfield dropped him. Sure Mercer did have a great chin, He took Morrisons best but most people here dont respect Morrison much.

Who the hell did Wlad knockout period, he knocks out a assortment of club fighters. This era of heavyweights suck.

And as I said who did Joe Louis knockout? Guys smaller than him and big unskilled white fighters. Put a fighter like Tua in that era and he would have 20 plus title defenses too, Maybe even more.

 

Chris, thanks for sharing, as always.

Chinxkid, I appreciate your posts.

Power certainly includes snap as well as mass, and, for a combination of both, I'll take Louis' straight, true right. The one he landed on Tony Galento had the same annihilating rush as Lewis' on Rahman.

I like how Lewis would subtly adjust the right to meet the purpose, even within a few seconds' span. The one that finally put Tyson out of his misery was a perfectly timed set-up.

The thing about Wlad is he catches his foes coming in or near enough so he doesn't always need a complete follow-through. But his commitment at point of impact is just about perfect.

 

Thompson,Brock,Brewster,Byrd,Austin,Peter,Chagaev, all had a shot to KO Morrison, in fact I think they all beat him....I remember the Mercer fight and I remember Bentt, enough said....

 

Yeah nevermind that guy, he's just trying to get a reaction out of people, which is why he mentions Pierre Coetzee as one of Foreman's best wins right after degrading the former mentioned boxers.

 

So true, if you watch Lewis in the later rounds he does appear to tire, I think Lewis was very good. Wlad has fought in the most shallow HW division for years (not his fault i know), but i really dont think you can rate either Klit. Bro against the greats.

Countless others? Why am I not surprised?

 

Watch out Chris...you may get to be on his ignore list too. If you aren't already, that is.

He's Foreman Rules, I'm telling ya.

 

I guess i'd better rank Pierre Coetzer in my all time heavyweight top15, then.:yep
