Rocky Marciano vs Lennox Lewis

Lol

 

God that's such a reasonable statement, you have problems with this?

How so?

 

Give us a break.. You've been starting thread after thread for weeks now picking multiple fighters to knock him out and using his "chin" as the very basis for that claim. Fvck, we should probably change this forum to " Lewis's chin.com"

 

Lewis’s chin?

I have to take the middle ground on this one.

Lewis’s chin was good enough, that it generally wouldn’t be bad enough to save you, if all you had was power.

On the other hand, he did have the worst chin of any top ten all time heavyweight.

It was an excellent chin by the standards of the heavyweight division, but compared to other heavyweights who got into the top 10-15, it was a plane of weakness.

 

That depends on who you have in your top 10-15... If Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, Floyd Patterson and wladimir klitschko reside in that top 15 then Lewis certainly isn't the weakest chin wise.

 

I would give you Patterson and Klitschko, and that's it!

 

Neither Frazier nor Dempsey fought anywhere near as many punchers.. Frazier got killed by the only elite hitter he faced.. Bonavena who I'd classify as "decent" but not "elite" had him down twice... Dempsey was Ko'd in one round by fireman Flynn... I might also as Tyson to the list if he's in your top 15

 

Then you have already been proved wrong.

 

What a silly comment responding with anecdote to correlation.

As a tendency, stronger fighters hit harder, bigger fighters hit harder.. provided we are talking about equals in all other athletic respects. And yes there are diminishing returns.

 

We should just list everyone they fought as punchers

 

Well then Ali wins as he had 61 fights.. And jimmy young was an awesome puncher
