Not true, his body shots could not even hurt at all Foreman or Larry Holmes, Conney just punched him in that weak place where he was stabbed and where he could not take a good punch.
Yes but by little, his left side which was his stronger side was not injured and his left hook did not lose power at all. I posted you from Denver hospital where he died from sepsis on the same place he was stabbed. Also stabbed liver and other organs are worse injury than stabbed muscles plus Lyle muscles were also damaged.
How would the presenceof sepsis in the place of Lyle's origial stab wound have affected his ability as a boxer ? How would it have affected his balance and range of movement as was clearly the case for Cleveland Williams ? Livers generally recover well from stab wounds.What other injuries to organs did Lyle suffer ?
False,absolutely false.Larry Holmes received a brutal body punch from Cooney at the end of the fourth round and Larry said he lucky that punch was delivered right at the end of the round,or else he would have been in serious trouble. How many body punches did Foreman absorb from Cooney in less than two rounds ?
Ali never mentioned Cooney as a hardest puncher just Shavers and Tyson plus Cooney never hurt Holmes with body shot. Holmes was off balance and few times punched in the face good but he was never hurt by Cooney. Foreman was never bothered by any body shot from Cooney.
Because his abdomen muscles were destroyed and cut, his liver, gallbladder and large intestine were stabbed and damaged from knife wounds. This affected his ability not only as a boxer but as a man which is even worse. Not really, livers can not recover from physical damage just from poisoning with things like peds and etc.
