    My sister is an actress for one of those murder mystery weekends, and she usually plays the person who is poisoned. That means that she has to fall over, and make it look realistic. She got a lot of bumps and bruises at first, but she eventually developed a technique, where she fell to her knees then took it from there!

    I actually think it's a really bad match up for Sharkey for style wise, on top of Lewis being a class above.

    Sharkey didn't have much power, his footwork was often a mess, and was pretty temperamental, it's a combination that just gives me a hard tiime seeing him have a way to actually win. Even if Lewis is lackluster, he could survive Sharkey's attack, and Lewis had the power to turn it around if Sharkey had any blips.

    Sharkey could box very well. I've considered himself a poor man's Larry Holmes. With a bit of flakiness / things going on behind the scenes.

    Sharkey was very good defensively.

    Upon what exchange rate is he merely a poor man's Larry Holmes? I have him as a bankrupt Frans Botha.

    Lennox Lewis would definitely win without any problems, Lewis is bigger, stronger and better in every way...

    I agree, but the distributive property doesn't apply in sports - especially boxing - and I don't think that suggests he'd have a comparable chance to one-shot Lewis.

    I would say the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

    Sharkey has zero business against Lewis. No contest.

    As Emmanuel Stewart said, Lewis doesn´t even benefit sparring such Cruisers.
