Lennox Lewis's Punching Power

[QueensburyRules]

rocky was basically a light heavyweight. not on the same level as the bigger men

- - Rocky spent 3-4 months training DOWN to be a 185 lb hvywt.

Today with 12 rd weight training techniques, he'd be a belt holder at a more natural 220 lbs holding dual BridgetteWt/HvyWt titles...yer welcome...

I notice Money never gets a Like. He has only received 43 since he has been here. His mama would be proud.

Half of pain is perception, and the visual of Mike Tyson charging forward tricked a lot of opponents into being more hurt than they actually were. Mike Tyson was certainly a faster puncher, he threw better body shots, but I dont think he could generate the same RAW power as Lennox Lewis.

Lennox disposed of Razor Ruddock in only 2 rounds.

He finished Botha and Golota faster as well...

The real question we should ask is how much better would Lennox have been if he had more of a killer instinct?

The knockout loss to McCall made him defensive. Same thing happened to Wladimir when he got knocked out.

They had big power but the knockout losses changed them to safety first.

I gave him a 'like' - he once actually answered a question directly. I was hoping it would begin a pattern. It didn't

That's because with Wlad his chin wasn't as strong, so he had to learn to protect his weaker chin. It's why we saw more 1-2 combos and holding also later in the career of Wlad as well.
