Re: Lennox Lewis is the GOAT

Haters can't admit Lenox is the GOAT because he's British.

The man destroyed everybody. Beat the crap out of HOFers Holyfield and Tyson three times!!!!!

Greatest Heavy is from Britain. Americans must accept it.

Re: Why Vitali Klitschko is Great

Haters who can't admit the greatness of Dr. Ironfist!

Never seen Vitaly get rolled around on the canvas like Joe Frazier did vs. Foreman.

Never saw Vitaly destroyed in the corner like Ali vs. Holmes.

Never saw Vitaly flat on his back like Louis vs. Marciano.

Re: Why Vitali Klitschko is Great

He was as great as the second tier champions of the Larry Holmes era or like brief champions between the Lewis and Wlad eras, i.e. he was the belt-holder, but he wasn't the man of the division. In the Klitschko era Wlad was the man, while Vitali was a sorta appendage to his lil' brother. Wlad was w...

Vitaly Klitschko vs Sonny Liston

6'7" 250 lbs Dr. Ironfist vs 6'1" 215 lbs Sonny Liston Dr. Ironfist utilizes his 6 inch height and 35 pound weight advantage to hammer Liston with the piston like Ukranian power lever. Any Liston hooks that get through are handled by the steel chinned giant. Vitaly by late stoppage. Round ...

Re: Lennox Lewis is the GOAT

Patterson was very close to his prime. After the Liston fights, he scored some of his best wins. He easily beat Machen, and won a great fight with Chuvalo. Even 6 years after fighting Ali the first time, he was still able to beat Bonavena. He still had s, he was still great hand speed , a great lef...

Re: Lennox Lewis is the GOAT

I mean he has the win over Vitali at an age when Ali was going 1-3 in his remaining bouts. So there's that. But of course there are many other factors at play there (like the fact that Ali's style doesn't lend itself well to aging. Speed and movement being his biggest assets), and of course Vitali ...

Re: Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali

McCall and Rahman were two quality heavyweight. Certainly alot more skilled than Evangelista, Bugner, Wepner, Jergen whatever and Leon Spinks. Ali beat all those guys you mentioned. So what's your point? They were solid Heavyweights. I never said they weren't, but Ali would've beaten 'em both every...

Re: Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali

Ali by UD and probably by knockout. I can't picture Ali losing to Oliver McCall or Hasim Rahman by knockout. I think Lennox Lewis is overrated. Can you picture Ali knocking out Golota and Ruddock flat in 2 rounds? How bout Ali beating Vitali Klitschko when he's at the end of his career? How bout Le...

Re: Prime George Foreman vs Lennox Lewis

This is a pickem fight but one scenario could be Foreman, with the better chin, winning a trade with Lennox for a KO.

Foreman was not only powerful but he was game. See Foreman vs Lyle.

Re: Is Rocky Marciano overrated?

A few observations: As I noted near the beginning of this thread, I think Tua and Mercer were fine boxers. A late friend of mine knew Mercer casually and said he was a great person, too. I respect the arguments in opposition, but I stand by my claim. Marciano wins by knockout. Here's the thing. It ...

So you're acting as if I don't know what I'm talking about, and you think his fight with Tyson was a rematch? You clearly weren't following boxing at the time. Lennox Lewis was pursuing a 2003 rematch with Mike Tyson. Hence why they were asking Tyson about it post Etienne. The fact you don't know w...
