this whole "Size doesnt matter" thing has to stop.

I disagree as far as damages and getting back up. I thought one of the more damaging blows would be the standing one that shattered willards cheekbone.

i dont think their gonna rattle lennox's head around but theres gonna be blood and broken bones. where as the smaller fighters will be shaken but not cut.

lennox has a high chance and knocking them out, though id like to think they all could take more then a few hits from lewis, assuming their not fast enough or cant take the hits then lewis will win but thats the only way. more so i see a stoppage mainly some time after the 5th round or if it does go the distance i belive the smaller person will have been busier along with inflicted more visual damage giving him the decision.

To go the distance would me a miracle in itself, but yes, If it did, you would have to favour someone in the calibre of Marciano or Dempsey..

Size matters, its very important especially when skills are on an even playing field between fighters of various size. No way the HWs of the past who would be small CWs today could compete with Lennox, Wlad, or Vitali.......Valuev and Olge yeah because they are ****, I would pick Dawson to beat both of them since he was mentioned in this thread.

simply question which merits a simply answer, Frazier was knocked down 10 times in his career yet regained his feet every time before the count reached 6 whereas Lennox Lewis was decked 2 times in his career, the first time he fell around the ring with glassy eyes and was still on unstead legs 10 minutes after the fight was stopped ( i know because i was there ) and the 2nd time he was floored the referee could have counted to 100 and Lewis would not have beaten the count

frazier was knocked down 11 times in his career,a similar amount to how many times Wladimir Klitschko was knocked down.

Knocked down six times(they counted five but it was six) against foreman in just two rounds,knocked down twice by oscar bonavena,took an eight count in just his third pro bout and two times in the 5th - one short left and one short right which planted frazier on his backside in the corner.
