Who do you like? And,why?

 

Lennox Lewis shutout unanimous decision 15 rounds to 0

 

Oy vey Mcvey.... Why bother?

 

Why bother ?
Isn't that what we are supposed to be doing ?
Discussing and, comparing fighters that are from past era's?

For the record I think Lewis beats Johnson ,and I said so in my other Lewis thread.

 

James Jeffries would never beat Jack Johnson

 

I wouldn't know old friend.. I've stopped reading these threads comparing early 20th century fighters to modern ones... At anyrate, enjoy your scuffle with Mendoza when he arrives, as I suspect it is part of the reason this thread was constructed...

 

Actually it's to help me get a handle on where to rate Lewis, whom I find it hard to get a fix on.He is in my top ten of ATG heavies, but not in the top half.

Personally I think Lewis toys with Jeffries.

 

Bullseye.

 

Best of luck in your search my friend from across the pond.

 

Lennox wins by Mid Rounds stoppage probably by technical means as he pounds Jeffries with hard straight shots and batters his face into oblivion/ Very comfortable up until the stoppage with Jeffries maybe pulling a round or two back from sheer grit, determination and power.

 

Boxing is abolished in all civilized nations if this one is allowed to happen.

 

Lennox KO 1 too much speed and power, Jeffries wouldn't have the defence to keep him off

 

I think this is the likely scenario.

 

I agree , but I think Lennox Lewis would,and that is what I wrote.

 

Well you won't have an opinion to give until Pollack writes the biography of Lewis ,and that will be in about 25 years time.
