Joe Louis vs Lennox Lewis

Lewis would beat Joe to a bloody pulp KO1. Louis is too slow, too small and too chinny. Lennox just needs to land a couple of hard rights and it would be over.

 

In much the same way that you believe a man who was " down " ten times, and out twice in his career beats Lennox. Or are you going to be stupid enough to claim that if the 245 pound Lewis put him down he couldn't keep him there?

 

Your wriggling knows no bounds. You start off by mentioning Baer who was down 3 times before losing to Louis. Now you want to shout about a guy who was down 6 times in 2 fights with Joe before being stopped on both occasions.

And just to be kind we'll overlook the fact that he wasn't " actually " as big as Lennox.

You are a joke.

 

Even if what you claim was true, which is highly doubtful, Lewis was very good at controlling both the pace and distance of fights. All the slow afoot Louis would get for his troubles is uppercuts on his way in, or a booming overhand right from distance, and either way with his **** chin, he is out cold.

Don't ever believe that if Schmelling could leave him face down and out on the canvas, Lewis couldn't, and a lot quicker, from a lot further away.

 

The Hayemaker` gets them both out and early !!

 

All those guys who even give Louis a shred of a chance are delusional. This would be an ugly, one-sided beatdown and Louis would be on the receiving end.

 

Based on what? Size? Listed 6'3 214 lb Mavrovic took everything Lewis had. Louis at listed 6'2" 207 lb for the Buddy Baer blow out isn't that far removed and a hell of a much better boxer than the untested Euro fighter.

 

I fully recognise that Lewis is capable of stopping Louis if he hits him enough times, I just don’t think that he will.

If durability is the key issue, then that argument has to go in favour of Louis.

Next time you feel like making this sort of prediction in a fight that is going to take place in the real world, where your prediction will be publicly tested, just let me know!

 

It's a pisser how certain people are about fights. Sure Lennox could hurt Louis, and if he landed often enough could kayo him. But just as feasible is Joe landing a counter right and flooring Lewis; McCall managed it! I actually think this kayo was more damaging to Lennox's reputation than the Rahman one(which I made money on, by the way) because the Rahman right hand was a Howitzer that might have one shotted anyone, whereas McCall's was just a solid, well placed counter that completely scrambled Lewis's senses.

Until someone invents a device for measuring punch power based on film footage we can never know if McCall's right hand counter was any harder than Schmellings in the 4th round versus Joe. A certain person will doubtless claim that because McCall was heavier his punch was bound to be, but that doesn't necessarily follow. Joe Bugner was much bigger than Max: Did he hit harder,too?

So the chin debate is still open, unless you think that Lewis could shrug off 40 full blooded rights from Max.

Make no mistake, Louis has as much chance of kayoing Lennox as the other way round.

 

1.You say Louis was kod by one single right hand of Schmeling.

Janitor informs you he took many many right hands before eventually succumbing,[get the spelling?], and the film footage confirms it.


2.You ask for evidence that Lewis was ko'd by one punch.

I post the McCall and Rahman first fights.


3.You ask for proof of a one punch ko by Louis of a man as big as Lewis.

I post the Simon fight, Simon was 6'4"an inch shorter than Lewis ,[and anyway we said as big as ,not as tall],and Simon weighed 255.25lbs for that fight ,Lewis only scaled as much as that once ,for his last fight against Vitali.



You react to these responses like a petulant child .

You possesss the maturity of an infant.

The manners of a pig, and the debating skills of a ******ed chimp.

Why do we bother debating with you?

 

Have you seen the shoulders on Simon, McVey? Hardly puny.

 

Abe Simon was massive and durable.

At any rate, how many fighters did Rahman and McCall one shot KO the size and ability of Lewis prior to Lennox Lewis?

None. Rahman couldn't budge Oleg, and had to pound Meehan and Sanders with unanswered punches.

McCall's only other noteworthy stoppages was Oleg and Seldon, oddly enough. The ref waived off Oleg and Seldon was dead on his feet before being stopped.

It's crazy but this is what we've come to, Lewis' one punch KO losses being spun into a double negative positive. :-(

 

His level of durability is difficult to gauge. He was resoundingly stopped by two men who weren't exactly elite in the power department, yet he survived hard direct shots from men like Bruno, Mason, Briggs, Tua and Klitschko. I think we can all agree that his chin was better than someone like Tommy Morrision's though he wasn't a George Chuvalo either.

 

The point is that "Joe Louis never one punch KOed someone the size of Lennox Lewis" is a stupid argument. Neither did Rahman or McCall until they met one Lennox Lewis.
