I believe Louis, Lewis, Foreman, Tyson, and Bowe are all on the same tier punching power wise. There are variables concerning effectiveness, they have all faced fighters who had great chins and ate all they coud dish out: Wlad/Wach, Lewis/Marovich, Mercer, Tyson/Ruddock to a degree, etc.
So why the denial about Lewis' punching power when it's there for all to see? Can't you watch the Grant fight, the Rahman fight, the Golota fight, the Ruddock fight, and conclude for yourself the guy can crack? Why are you in complete and utter denial?
Well does he hit as hard (maybe even harder then) as Sonny? Come on say it, you know deep down that he does...
Um, no.. Liston definitely hit harder than Lewis, and would fare pretty well against him. A lot of you act like Lewis was god, he wasn't all that impressive. He was strong, sure, and could beat a completely shot Tyson, but he definitely wouldn't be able to hold his own against an elite puncher. Sorry.
Well as they said in breaking bad "Do you think I'm in danger, if so you don't know who you're talking to, cause " I am the danger" Just as Lewis would be Liston's personal nightmare. (Yours too apparently)
the combination of speed, power, skill set, height and reach advantages would all play a factor in wounding the Bear (who would look like he was hibernating he'd be so slow).
That emoticon sums up your knowledge on Lewis. Lewis - Liston is a good match up so it's a good thread yes. But it's mostly been taken up with you getting schooled. You got passion for the sport which is good but maybe do yourself a favour and leave the subject of Lewis alone unless you're willing to debate properly and think with reason. I get you have Liston But your thinking is too clouded.
