    Probably because he was carrying less weight and he had more speed and sharpness on his punches.

    Lennox Lewis for me, he put a few fighters away with that shot, the vicious KO of Rahman in the rematch bei g the more brutal.

    No, because he is in all chance a top 5 puncher at 175 and outside the top 250 at Heavyweight.

    Though I don't think Rocky had the greatest overhand right, he had a great overhand right imo.

    I don't put him anywhere near guys like Shavers, Foreman, Tyson, or Lewis in that regard, however.

    Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis both had immense overhand rights.
