Mainly I'm talking about top fighters, not journeymen who faced a lot of punchers. Muhammad Ali is an obvious choice: Lamar Clark (great KO%, opposition level is another story) Henry Cooper (2x) Sonny Liston (2x) Joe Frazier (3x) George Foreman Ron Lyle Earnie Shavers Cleveland Williams Archie Moore Mac Foster Lummox Lewis's chin is often knocked, but for the number of big or semi-big punchers he faced, 2 KO defeats isn't really that bad. Gary Mason Mike Weaver Razor Ruddock Frank Bruno Phillip Jackson Oliver McCall (2x) Tommy Morrison Andrew Golota Shannon Briggs David Tua Hasim Rahman (2x) Mike Tyson Vitali Klitschko Evander Holyfield faced a good number of heavy hitting heavyweights, as well. Alex Stewart (2x) George Foreman Bert Cooper Riddick Bowe (3x) Mike Tyson (2x) Lennox Lewis (2x) Hasim Rahman Who else faced a long list of punchers?
You forgot to mention that Lennox faced Holyfield twice. A notable point is that Ali would have been KTFO in modern rules by Cooper, as the bell doesn't save you :deal
atsch Have you ever seen the fight? Clay was up at 3, i think he got 5 seconds longer than he should have had during rounds as it was 65 seconds due to the glove incident, then came out and instead of messing about like he had the rest of the fight up to it, just beat the **** out of cooper Just because the british press like to think that ali would have been knocked out by cooper doesn't make it true
He has did nothing after Lennox Lewis, Lennox Lewis was his height in his career... "Lennox Lewis demoralised him..taught him a lesson..took him to school"
Chist Pontius or Old Fogey did a complete breakdown of this stat. I forget which one. But it was detailed. Lewis did very very well.
He had a decent year in 2002, beating Fres Oquendo and a comebacking Michael Moorer in 30 seconds. Then after lucking into a draw with Hasim Rahman in their rematch, Tua sort of disappeared. Managerial problems.
I dont buy into all the **** about how long it took, but he wouldn't have been allowed to continue once the count got to 10 :deal Listen, Ali would beat Cooper 999/1000 times, school him in fact
