    No but you become physically weaker, muscles break down and stiffen up, pain tolerance drops, age impacts alot of things

    Yep that is true but that still doesn't alter your ability to gauge someone's power.

    Get in the ring, at 33 if someone cracks you good to the body you don't think. "This guy is a feather fist but when I'm 38 his shots will feel like dynamite."

    Yes, I know it doesn't change the power itself, but it changes how one person would perceive it

    Are you crazy for gods sake??? Bruno throwing hard jabs and bombs for 50 rounds + on MW-LHW Moores, Charles, Walcott, Cockells, undead Louis leftovers? Do you want somebody to get killed?

    You seem to think size works one way when it doesn’t. If Lennox could just easily run over smaller more clever fighters he would’ve ran over Holyfield, who was way beyond his prime years when they fought and Lennox wouldn’t have avoided Byrd, who despite being a small heavyweight was much harder to land clean on and regularly would wear down the bigger men he fought.

    Vitali was favored to beat Byrd because of the size difference, but got outfoxed and quit. Vitali didn’t even want to go through with dealing with Byrd’s cleverness again and instead fought Timeo Hoffman, who despite being was a much easier opponent.

    Lennox never faced anyone with Lastarza’s speed or Moore’s cleverness. Lennox was used to fighting bigger and easier to hit fighters, which is why I said due to styles Lastarza and Moore would be a more difficult matchup for Lewis than they were for Marciano. Also, Lennox’s size wasn’t exactly uncommon when Lastarza and Moore fought.

    Maybe, but that doesn't mean Lennox would put away old Louis inside 7 rounds, does it ?
    There's really no evidence to suggest Lennox takes old Louis out quicker than Marciano did. If any heavyweight can knock Louis old inside 8 rounds (even the old Louis) that's a fine result.

    Well, just my opinion obviously. But the best Lewis for me was the one who smashed Golota. And that one would put away any Marciano opponent and Rocky himself inside ten rounds

    ARE YOU GUYS SRSLY DISCUSSING A PUCNHING POWER COMP. BEWTEEN MARCIANO AND LL???
    WTF´S GOING ON??!??!

    :crazylick::drink::hang:copas:

    :facepalm:

    Lewis would comatose JL-ghost in two rounds.
    One round for respecting the ex-champion and sparring a little and another ending it short without pain for not making him suffer due to respect!
