    I think Lennox punched harder. Who do you think punched harder and why?

    Come on.... Lewis is hands down... Look at the guys he stopped and looked at who Holmes stopped.. This guy is a true puncher

    Lewis hit harder, Holmes was better fighter.

    ...Huh? Has this ever been a discussion? Larry had underrated power, I always thought...but not that damn underrated.

    Larry had a very hard right, but it was not on the same level as Lewis's, who had one of the hardest right hands of all time.

    Lewis would sometimes put some power into his jab but if you watch him most of the time he will leave it out half extended.

    True, Lewis used his jab in "ramrod mode" against Briggs & Tyson though.

    Larry had nice speed power, but Lennox right hand was a difference maker.
