How Great Is Lennox Lewis's Resume?

[Rosco3387]

Just recently stumbled across a quote by Louis speaking of Abe Simon. It went something like 'For a big guy he was pretty good' - it was as if Louis expects 'big guys' to have less skills.

Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it seemed an odd phrasing.

It sounds that way to me Pep!

I think the bigger they are the less skilled they are. Not saying they didnt/don't possess skills, just not as many as someone lighter and more agile. Just my opinion though.

I knew this was coming!! As a general rule.

Lennox Lewis?

I agree generally.

But the bigger guy with skills will usually be favoured over the smaller guy with similar skill level.

Just today Breadman in his column made a similar observation, something I have raised a few times myself lol... With the exception of the 70's and 90's one would be hard pressed to find a stacked heavyweight division. It is all in the Most High's plan lol... If you have an average size for a person, more people are average, hence more competition at the average weight/size. As people get bigger, farther from the earth, their balance, coordination, etc all is affected.

- - Valuev was never moved backwards nor knocked down nor ever hurt.

The only two guys beating him had to be hospitalized for rope burns on their backs after they rode them the whole course of the fight to stay away from Valuev who never made a single misstep other than signing with DKing.

Don king made some of the best cards in boxing history. What I hate about him in boxing is the fact that he cheated a lot of fighters of their hard earned money.

Yep. That too.
