Who are the greatest chinny fighters ever?

Look clown, FOREMAN himself said that both he and Lewis never trained properly for their opponents and that's why they were both KO'd. But hey what the hell does Foreman know about his fight with Ali?


In Lewis' case in addition to not training the way he should have, he also failed to acclimatize to the elevation of where the fight took place. (I know big words like "acclimatize" are beyond your comprehension or you would at least reply with some kind of intelligent rebuttal. Instead of the cleaver "he is just a stupid troll".

The affects of not training properly for a fight at elevation are very similar to those of being exhausted because for all practical purposes it's the same thing.

Here's another source of what failing to acclimatize did. Go slow and try and read each word, repeat several times, if it's too complicated focus on the bold letters, repeat again and again, then maybe, just maybe, you'll get some small grasp of what's being said.


Lewis went to Johannesburg in South Africa at the invitation of Nelson Mandela. Lewis would defend his titles against supposed low-risk opponent Hasim Rahman. Due to Lewis' failure to prepare for the fight by dropping excessive weight rapidly, arriving in Johannesburg 2 weeks before the fight which, according to expert opinion, was too late to acclimatize to the thin air since Johannesburg was 5,000 feet above sea level, Lewis suffered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

And what exactly are the effects of not acclimatizing for the fight?

Lewis,

“I wanted to fight in Africa like my hero Ali did,” Lewis wrote. “But I should have arrived in South Africa earlier to get better acclimatized. I felt sluggish and winded, but you live u learn — sometimes the hard way!"

hmmm sluggish and winded, that sounds pretty much the same as Foreman wouldn't you say?

Now do me a favour, if you're going to comment on this post, use your brains, meaning rather than just calling me a troll, put together a counter argument. I might not agree with it, but at least I'd respect the effort.

 

Lennox Lewis

 

Oh plz the likes of Tyson and holyfield have proven countless times that a lack of training can be an excuse for under performing, being thoroughly out boxed, lacking stamina, conditioning for a long fight in defeats but it is no excuse to go down like an over protected girl via just one big shot to the face.

 

Loving the brawl between a hardcore Tyson hater and a hardcore lenni nut hugger. Entertaining stuff

 

Lenni was a 5.5/10.

 

Heart is debatable. The real question to ask is did he face world class punchers? Were they good fundamental boxers?

Let's not forget lenni was a big puncher too, very hard puncher who had game changing one shot power. Not to mention some very excellent boxing skills. He had great height, size and reach advantage which Emanuel steward helped him to use to his advantage. The boxers he faced at that time could do nothing about it.

But I just find it bizarre that everyone mocks Tyson for cleaning out an entire division made of horrible fighters, fighters past their primes when the same case can be made for lenni.

 

Don't talk rubbish, you can over sell his chin if you want but it wasn't the best by any stretch of the imagination.

I can forgive fighters for going down due to the accumulation factor but not via one big shot to the face.

 

The call in the McCall fight was perfectly correct. By the count of ten, lenni was very shaky and did not respond to the refs call of are you ok, can you continue and was still wobbling. He lost within the rules of the sport and deservedly so. Anyone who can't deal with one big shot to the face should be sent packing.

 

Holyfield was a warrior. You don't just judge chins by how many times you got kod, it's one thing to be kod via accumulation factor but totally another thing to be starched like a girl via one big shot to the face.

And the excuses made by the lenni brigade that those shots by McCall and rahman would have floored any heavy weight in history is complete rubbish.

Tyson took massive shots in the Douglas fight for 10 whole rounds even when he couldn't see through one eye.

 

Don`t tell Michael Nunn that...:bbb

 

I can't be assed to read all that baloney, a stillborn slug has more sense than you. Lewis was starched by one big shot against Rahman, he could have trained on the top of Mount Everest for a whole year and he still would have been KTFO with that punch.

If you really believe both knockouts were the same then that confirms my thoughts.... You are dumb as fcuk...

 

Yet this Tyson hater is taking it to big Lenni, I think now I'm a neutral.... :rofl

Great ****ytical skills, if your in kindergarten.

Rather than name calling put together coherent
counterargument or are you too dimwitted to do put forth a coherent argument. Good God, surely you and your other childish, name calling, cohorts can get a brain cell or two working long enough to put together even a rudimentary counterargument. Didn't any of you pass elementary school?

Come on impress me and tell me why Lewis' lack of training and fighting at altitude had nothing to do with him getting KO'D.

I'm not saying he had a great chin like l said l think it's in the 7/10 range, but like Foreman, Lewis was gassed in that fight.

They just got that was for different reasons both if which were self inflicted.

But if you disagree put forth 's counterargument how hard can that be if you think you're right?

 

There's no argument needed, Lewis was KTFO by ONE SINGLE PUNCH against Rahman, am I right or am I right??

 

And so was Foreman am l right or am l right? In
fact he was KTFO by a couple of pitty paddy punches which was arguably worse.

I'm not suggesting even for second that Lewis's chin is on the same level as Foreman's it's clearly not. I would rate Lewus'chin probably about a 7/10, Foreman's probably an 8 perhaps even an 8.5/10

But the rematch proved what would have happened in the first fight had Lewis trained properly and acclimatized himself properly.
