    Such a huge stature! Not many training highlights on him, kind of like Foreman. Is there any other videos of Foreman hitting a heavy bag besides the one from Zaire?

    Shockingly fast for a guy that big. That is what an apex predator looks like.

    Those models don't come off the assembly line every day.

    Having tons of amazing footage on AJ makes me a bit sad that Lewis wasn't better documented during his career. The gulf between the media quality between the two fighters is massive.
    This being one of the only clips to exist of Lewis with that modern rich, sharp quality.
    So much has changed in media since Lewis, who fought not long ago. The HD era, Internet and social media, Youtube, etc.

    Damn, good speed and coordination for such a big guy.

    I would love to see Buster Douglas skipping rope in his prime, he had very fast feet in the Tyson fight, and was all around very fluid and coordinated for a big guy.
