how good was lennox lewis

this link is for the idiot AdamGB who thinks I got the opinion about Mav rocking Lewis frm haters and fair weather friends. Sounds like AdamGB is eating hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Note round 7 how the 200 pound light-hitting vegetarian Mavrovic really staggers Lewis with about a 12 punch combination. Yeah AdamGB, I know its tough to understand how a person can form their own opinion; you better work on that knee-jerk reaction you have that people who disagree with you must have gotten their opinion from "haters".

Hmm I didnt see that part either. He was hit. I didnt see him staggered though.

Mavrovic was a light-hitting heavyweight. That is not "chin-checked". Perhaps its a shave of a few whiskers. And still Lewis was hurt by those shots. My point is NO WAY does Lewis take those shots from a Foreman or a Williams or a Shavers. He did not have the best chin. Not as good as Ali or Holmes or Holyfield or Foreman or Frazier, not by a long shot.

parroting the opinion of haters who kicked a guy when he's down

Dont know what youre talking about. I dont care about others opinions. Just becasue my opinion matches closely some of these "parrots" you seem to be so familiar with, doesnt mean I am parroting them. Ever hear of people arriving at the same conclusion idependently of each other?

How many people would have stood up to one of Foreman's shots on the chin?

Nobody is saying that Lewis had a supreme chin... or that his chin was as good as Ali's... just that it wasn't 'glass'.

Don't flip flop. He can have a 'decent chin' without being as good as Ali (who had one of the best chins in history).

Shut up...Mavrovic was some Croatian punk who got schooled and never fought again......Mavrovic turned to the army rather than get in the ring again with such GREAT CHAMPION.....Lewis knew this was just a routine defence and was bored.....LEWIS went thru the motions and sealed a 12 round unanimous dec.......he had bigger fish to fry than this punk!!!


job biscuit (Brockton...I bet you think Marcianos a All-TIME GREAT...lol)!!!!!


eh eh!!!

[brocktonblockbust]

Marciano is absolutely an all-time great.

AdamGB you are right, Lewis had a decent chin. Decent, I said. OK not glass.

So... you're comparing one second of Lewis allegedly getting rocked (that nobody other than you seems to be noticing) to a video that is 600 seconds long of him getting punched in almost every second.

Mathematically speaking you're saying that 1 second is somehow equal to 500-600 seconds in terms of the evidence that you are basing your opinion.

1 outweighs 600?!?!... Where did you learn to count?
...and you say I'm the one who is drugs?

Find me ten minutes worth of Lewis getting rocked to cancel out the ten minutes of him NOT GETTING ROCKED BY BIG PUNCHES that I have posted and then maybe we'll give your hive mind formed, sheepletastic opinion some more credit.

How could a glass-jawed fighter be rocked "for 10 minutes"? He would be knocked cold well before 10 minutes had elapsed, dont you think? Your request is silly. 10 minutes of being rocked? Jesus, only Frazier comes to mind that he was rocked for 6 minutes straight by Foreman and kept getting up.

No... not ten minutes of him being rocked in the same fight. Jesus.

I posted a video of him being hit for 10 minutes by different heavyweights. 10 minutes of him getting rocked off different fighters will do.

The times he was hurt simply do not outweigh the ammount times he was hit and wasn't hurt. Not enough to justify the opinion that he had a glass jaw. not by a long shot.

and there's Lewis with 12 secs left in Rd 7 doing what he does best: holding Mav around the neck with his left arm, and firing rabbit punches with the right. Funny how Lewis and Bruno, both UK fighters, really truly LOVED this tactic. Lewis knocked out many an opponent either like this, or in his other favorite manner as he knocked out Mike Grant: holding his opponent in a headlock with his left, and throwing the uppercut underneath for the KO.

you have some deap issues mate

maybe you need to find another way to spend your time

these boxing discussions dont seam to be doing anything for your mental stability

0:59 the left hook definitely lights him up for a sec, you can see him buckle slightly before he fires his own left hook. Then clearly the uppercut at 0:50 takes some rib out of him and he goes back to the ropes, getting hit at 0:46 with a nice 1-2. He is clearly not in good shape in those moments. Then at 0:40 there is another nice 3 punch combo he gets hit with. Then a few more before he lands a geat counter right to back Mav off of him.

My point is Mav is a light hitter. No way does Lewis take those shots from a Foreman or a Cleveland Williams.
