    That's true. McCall was not really a one punch knock out artist, but he caught Lewis flush. Norton could crack at times, but wasn't a huge hitter either. I think that if Manny Steward was in Lewis's corner for a match with Norton, it might narrow ken's chances even further. Lewis was much more polished after acquiring Steward and less prone to getting tagged.

    Depends which Lewis decides to show up.

    If it's the Lewis of the Mercer/Holyfield 2 fight he wins a competitive decision, if it's the Lewis of the Ruddock/Golota fight he walks Norton down in 3, and if it's the Lewis of the Rahman 1/McCall 1 fight Norton catches him with something big, and starches him.

    If it's Lennox Lewis blindfolded with a parrot on his shoulder and a funny hat on then...

    Unless Norton found a way to dodge Lewis's right it's all Lewis.

    Well if Lewis has a funny hat on, Norton is allowed to use rocket boots.

    It's only fair.

    Quick win for Lennox like a 2 rd KO or when ever he wants to push it.

    Worse than Tyson?
     
  7. lewis would not beat norton in 1 or 2 rounds, it is simply ridiculous. morrison didn´t have better chin than norton, and morrison was not better than norton but lewis could not ko him. tommy was stoped by cuts. bruno could go 7 rounds with lewis, bruno did not have better chin than norton, and kenny was better than bruno. these people are underrating norton Ridiculously
     
  8. and george foreman had the worst style for kenny, not tyson or lewis

    frazier beat ali foreman batters frazier, does foreman batter ali....no
    norton beats ali foreman batters norton, does foreman batter ali.....no

    a beats b b beats c a doesn't necessarily beat c.it doesn't happen that way.
     

  10. stop to talk nonsense
    1_ali did beat norton and frazier
    2_ norton, ali and foreman were completely different. styles make fights but lewis didn´t have the strength or the hitting power of foreman or even his style . lewis was more similar to holmes with some hitting power extra

    I can see Norton giving Lewis a lot of problems. His parries, counters, speed and skills would be tough for Lewis to deal with. I can't recall Lewis ever taking on a boxer-type fighter of that level, if Ken could last through 12 he might be able to nab a decision. Odds are I see that Lewis laser right landing like a bomb, and lights out!

    ali would beat foreman 7 days a week, and every week of the year.lewis' style is nothing like holmes.holmes had a really good jab and lewis was lazy with his.holmes also has a better chin, though he wouldn't beat lewis.

    :goodlewis right hand was a real killer.maybe if norton employed his lean back method to keep out of range he may survive for 8 rounds, and maybe not
     
  15. I AM NOT SURPRISED BY YOUR STUPID POINTS, LIKE ALWAYS.
    POSIBLY ALI WOULD BEAT FOREMAN 7/10 FIGHTS BECAUSE ALI HAD THE CHIN,THE SPEED,THE STAMINA. ALI WAS ALI. BUT STILL HE WAS PETRIFIED OF TERROR AFTER OF THE FIRST ROUND AGAINST FOREMAN(HE NEVER WAS SCARED AGAINST LISTON,FRAZIER OR SHAVERS). AND ALI WANTED NO PART OF THE REMATCH WITH GEORGE:deal.
    LEWIS WAS SIMILAR TO HOLMES, BUT LEWIS HAD MORE HITTING POWER,HOLMES WAS FASTER , HE HAD MORE HEART, MORE SPEED, BETTER FEET WORK ,BETTER JAB AND BETTER SKILL., LEWIS ASKED HOLMES TO TEACH HIM ON HIS JAB. AND HOLMES WOULD BEAT LEWIS ANYDAY OF THE WEEK
