Sonny Liston vs Lennox Lewis

I said "Please don't tell me you think Lewis hit harder than Liston?"
Your reply was "Do you think it's just me saying that? If you do re-read the thread. Watch his fights. Of course Lewis is up there with the Tyson's, Foreman's and Liston's of the sport. He's certainly on that list. Seriously do you even watch the guy fight? He drops 220+ men with single punches. Look at the punch he nailed Rahman with, it maybe the single best punch thrown in ages."

 

i did indeed say Lewis is an elite banger or words to that affect.when i said i was a big fan of liston, but.....??? Swag accused accused me of being
a a liar
b obsessed with Lewis

Class 1 punchers: Wladimir, Lewis, Foreman
Class 2 punchers: Louis, Tyson, Liston
Class 3 punchers: Holyfield, Frazier, Marciano, Dempsey, Holmes, Bowe, Langford
Class 4 punchers: Vitali, Jersey Joe, Johnson
Class 5 punchers: Charles, Tunney

 

Foreman should definitely be up there with Wladimir and Lewis IMO. And Bowe should go a class up as well.

 

Foreman I agree now that I think about it.

Never rated Bowe as a puncher.

 

Holmes,Bowe,Holyfield don't belong with Dempsey,Langford ,and Marciano,and I'd put Frazier in the tier below them too. JMO.

 

Maybe not p4p but there is no way enough is real terms that Marciano punches any harder than Holyfield.

 

This whole thread isn't really working out for you, is it? As some posters have Lewis in the first tier in terms of power and Liston in the second tier.

 

Same as Tyson.

 

But they also originally had Foreman in their second tier. :think

 

Who's included in the etc?

 

I meant Lewis. But to answer your question, Foreman, Dempsey, Shavers, Louis. There's more. I've yet to see a list where Lewis is ranked ahead of Liston in terms of punching power. I wonder why that is. :think
