Marciano Harder Hitter than Lennox Lewis

Moore was not kayoed all that often but it happened often enough that Marciano kayoing him may not be indicative of spectacular power. He lasted longer against Marciano than he did in some of his other kayo losses.

 

LaStarza hadn't fought many big punchers prior to facing Marciano so that is a good example. Additionally, Layne had not faced that many big hitters aside from Satterfield prior to the Marciano fight and Satterfield was very inconsistant.

 

You don't seem to be able to read either hudson, you just make stuff up as you go along, where have i mentioned 7 foot anywhere, i said 6'3 and have also stated that even in theory the limit tops out at a certain height. Greene is 5'9, so add half a foot and what does that make 6'3. Sorry if you can't read or add up perhaps you can learn to do this before you respond. If greene was expanded to 6'3 in every way and was given the equivalent strength and muscle elasiticity that he would have in compairson to his 5'9 self (note 6'3 not some number your going to make up when you respond) would he or would he not be faster???

 

He would not be faster, for the reasons outlined in my previous post.

The design solution at 5 foot 9 is different to the one at 6 foot 3.

If you scale the proportions exactly, the new 6 foor 3 Greene would have more strength, but his gain in mass would be greater, so his strength/weight ratio would actually be reduced.

I'm off to work, over and out.

 

Yes but his limbs would also be longer and he would have less strides to make it over the distance. You have to take that it account as well.

 

They may weight the same, but those Lewis fought would have been 200 lbers in excellent shape and modern. Those Rocky fought fat and primative.

All the stats on the first page tell us, Rocky's opponents couldn't take a punch.

 

Ah but they don't weigh 200 lbs, it true that any 200lbs fighter's lewis fought would be in good shape.

 

There also the obvious styles thing, whereby Lewis could box. Marciano had to wear down and KO or he'd be Lacyed by any half decent boxer.

 

I don't agree china joe, marciano was a good fighter and a big puncher.

 

With regards to Botha, actually, Tyson took him out cold with one shot, while Lewis put him down with a four-punch combination he got up from and then the fight was waved off. All-in-all, that makes a 4-2-1 edge for Lewis in terms of who demonstrated the most power against these opponents, but it is worth noting that most of these men had aged and declined since their fights with Tyson when they got to Lewis.
