    Watch that punch from different angles and how it connected on Lewis in detail. Check the spin of his head too. A punch loaded up like that should rarely land on that pro level (blame on Lennox), forget about a 185lb fighter bringing such power and landing it at 68" and two left feet....

    :lol:
    Wearing these red underground goggles again?

    As soon as Rocky doubles the distance to get inside, he sees a right hand flying at his face trice the power of that 189lb Walcott/Moore taps, who put him on the canvas with a single punch.

    Nobody at avr. 185 pounds, 68" reach, the "power" of averaging 9.2 rounds at CS-level and checking the ground from single LHW-CW punches is any threat or whatsoever for Lennox Lewis.

    @WAR01 Threads like that spread Covid-Rocky around the board. Stop them. Give RBV no chance. Thanks.

    Larry Merchant once said of Lewis that, "he may have clinks in armor, but look at all that armor."

    I don't think Marciano has the athleticism or handspeed to pull this off but he does have the proverbial punchers chance. I think Lewis stops him inside 10 rounds.

    Tbh, I think Lewis would probably laugh at him.

    Simply no contest whatsoever.

    To put it bluntly......

    Those voting for Marciano are not doing so due to logical boxing reasons.

    I think the punches that Rahman and McCall dropped Lewis with would drop Marciano,and Im not sure he would get up from them.He faced very few real punchers.

    British Heavyweights do not seem to have done too badly over the last few years.

    Chinless ? He took shots from Vitali, Tua and Holyfield. The shots that took him out are the shots he didn't see. Marciano got up when Walcott dropped him, he wont get up when Lewis does
