    How is the lying going? Thought about a cure yet? I must admit that I do find your lies entertaining, therefore I have decided to refer to you as either Pinocchio, or Walter from now on.

    :hi::hi:Walter.

    HELLO Pinocchio. Just to keep you up to date, I am digging out the old noseometer, so that every time you tell a new lie, we can measure your hooter, and hopefully you can get an award for the worlds biggest liar. It might sit well with your fantasy of Joe Louis knocking out the worlds biggest men.

    Hehehehehehe.

    250lbs 84 inch reach Lennox Lewis would establish the jab early and often then hit glass chinned Louis with a right cross followed by a left uppercut. It would basically be over by then. Lennox Lewis KO1

    "Hey, I got a question for you, what do think would happen if Bart Star came out of the 60's to QB the Packers, you think he'd beat Aaron Rodgers out?"

    Using team sports analogies don't really work when comparing them to individual sports. Of course Bart star would struggle because he'd have defenders coming after him who were far bigger and more powerful than anything he was used to, and his timing would be negated by the speed of the receivers running up field faster than he was used to throwing the ball. If a boxer from an earlier period fought a fighter of a latter one, sure he might be in with a better athlete than what he's faced before. But taking on one man is a whole lot different than ad******g to the multiple components that a team sport brings.

    Lennox Lewis would not be over 225lbs if put back in the 1930's and 1940's.

    Lewis was under 225lbs for 2 fights in 1990 ,against Ocasio and Chanet.
    In 1991 against Weaver,and Billups,and only 227lbs against Ruddock in 1992.

    Lennox Lewis in the 1940s?

    Obviously he would not be using weights, so it is inescapable that he would have come in lighter.

    I think he might have started out at world level around 220lbs, and filled out to over 230lbs.

    Put Louis in the 1990s, and he would certainly buled up to 225lbs or more.

    The size difference isnt necesarily that great.
