Top 10 hardest heavyweights

I was able to watch Botha train on a couple occasions while he was preparing for Lewis. The 'fight plan' they were preparing was absolutely suicidal; he was either simple for not realizing that, or insanely brave for realizing it and going ahead with it. My personal belief after seeing him train was that he would not finish two minutes of the fight. That he made it to the second round amazes me to this day.

What was the fight plan? Please share some insight on that. Was it an inside or outside plan? Because we saw too little of the fight to make a determination on what exactly was he doing??

if we're going by this style of fighting then Shannon Briggs gets a toughness award in his Klit fight.

They had him coming straight forward, standing straight up, telling him the punch he needed to be landing was the left hook to the body. His trainer- maybe it was Pepe Correa?- had him square up marching forward. If you are familiar with Botha, you know he had a tendency to square up with his right hand any way (bringing his right foot forward)...When we left the gym the first thing my friend said was that there was no way Botha would last a round.

LOLOL.... you're kidding me? They may as well had told him to walk directly into Mike Tyson with his hands down to his waist. hehehehee....


Lennox was NEVER sensitive to body shots, and everyone he has knocked out was with the straight right hand!!!
