how good was lennox lewis

[erics44]

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

Standard British "come-back" when the plain truth is put before their eyes. Just change the subject and try to lambast other party's in typical British distraction strategy. Wont you people EVER come out from behind your pomposity?

ha funny

what are you on about?

[brocktonblockbust]

i can say for certain that if we were talking about a fighter you liked (or didnt dislike) those punches wouldnt have rocked him, in fact you would probably be singing his praises, saying how little affect they had

But YOU, being perfect, would NEVER show any signs of ambiguity in your posts. Nor could ANYBODY ever accuse you of what you just accused ME of. Oh, no. Not the Perfect Erics44. "I can say for certain". Dude the only thing you're certain about is youre a BRIT who thinks theyre always right.

Instead of regurgitating the opinions of haters and fair weather fans... why don't you watch some of his career and form your opinion on what you see with your own eyes... not what you read or hear from others.

what a stupid assumption you make. Only one regurgitating here is YOU. I couldnt give a rat's ass about haters and fair weather friends. This IS my opinion. YOu need to see a shrink seeing the delusions you are under about where people get their opinions.

Forget seeing a shrink... If you've just watched a 10 minute video of a guy getting punched by heavyweight boxers and walking through it and you still think he has a glass jaw then you either you need to see an optician or you need to stop deluding yourself -

You've just watched ten minutes of him getting his chin checked dozens and dozens of times. The evidence to form an accurate opinion is there. You're deluding yourself into thinking that you're not just parroting the opinion of haters who kicked a guy when he's down.... boxing sheeple ate that shit up and so have you.

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".

i just watched round 7 and i didnt notice

what time of the round was he staggered?

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

[brocktonblockbust]

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?

[AdamGB]

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.

[brocktonblockbust]

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.

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!!!

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.

[brocktonblockbust]

Marciano is absolutely an all-time great.

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

[erics44]

i do seem to always be right when debating with you yes

and i am a brit

so yes, on this occasion you are right, how does it feel?

Just like it felt the one time YOU were right last week when you picked Klitschko over Adamek.
