The President Vs Lennox Lewis

[JAB5239]

- - Sanders took a lot of short notice fights because of sanction. He has a better win than Lewie.

Sanders had one win only over a top 10 fighter. If Rahman, who was ring rank for 6 years is a journeyman, than what does that Corrie who was only Ring ranked for a year? What does it say that Rahman knocked Sanders out, but you want to call him a journeyman on Lewis resume? You want to attempt to deflect by saying Sanders took a lot of short notice fights, but refuse to call him a journeyman that you so easily labeled McCall and Rahman. It shows you intentional bias. McCall was a contender, Rahman was a long time contender. Sanders for all his talent was a fringe contender and one trick pony. A wonderful man and father, but you're trying to over inflate him as a fighter.

Hello. I'm new. Just wanna say hello

Welcome to the boards!

- - Two punches from two journeymen level heavies resulting in two KOs doesn't bode well for a good chin.

I was a fan until the first Field fight where he acted like he was scared to lift the title off Field who was otherwise helpless.

How about taking your lover's best punches? Vitalie? Where those journeyman? You idiot! McCall was considered a very very dangerous puncher, and Rahman, though not as much as McCall was also considered a big puncher. Let me guess: some conspiracy?

McCall was in the Rings year end ratings for two years. Likely would have been more if not for drug and mental health issues. Rahman was there for 6 years thought not all consecutive .like I said, they weren't journeyman fighters. You're just to dense to grasp this.

Let us assume he is correct that Lewis only took the punches of mere "journeymen." That would have to include his lover Vitalie as well. Poor Ginny... Drinking on an empty stomach again.

Lmao.....I just realized something. Rahman, who you're calling a journeyman knocked out the same Corrie Sanders that knocked Wlad out and who you have claimed as a great win for Vits. Let's also not forget Vits wormed his way out of fighting Rahman on more than one occasion. Oh the hypocrisy!!!

Jezooks that is even more brutal than the initial hypocracy noted!

LOL Ginny you are too much!!! So now we elevate Sanders because of your foolishness? And of course we explain Lewis taking the shots from Vitalie as a conspiracy right? Before you even go there: Both Vitalie and Lewis took the fight short... Lewis was training for one of his weakest opponents, and hardly trained at all, Vitalie was called in at the last minute. Neither man was at his best,but lewis appeared more out of shape.

Vitalie obviously hit Lewis and he was able Lewis was able to take the shots... Now tell us: what conspiracy was the reason for this Ginny?

The Ibeabuchi who fought Tua and almost decapitated Chris Byrd would get my pick. If McCall and Rahman can knock Lewis out, The President in his prime definitely can, too. Superior engine and focus.

:Lol this is when you can tell a person is a casual. Tommy Morrison and Tua were better fighters and punched harder than McCall and Rahman. Tua and Morrison couldn't knock out Lewis while Rahman and McCall did.. So just because one fighters knocks out a fighter doesn't mean every fighter can, Different styles, different nights. Ike beat Tua and Byrd. That is his whole career. Lewis beat Tua easier than Ike did. Lewis was a far better fighter compared to Ike. 9 of 10 times Lewis beats Ike.

Ha, I love when someone calls me a casual, being 60 and having watched boxing since the early 70s

Opinions, I accept yours and the others as well. I'm not offended, I have views that you don't have. Simple as that.

Also, please read my subsequent post for a better explanation of what I think about Lennox.

I believe McCall was inconsistent, making him difficult to judge. I do believe another casual mistake is over evaluating Tua... Tua was basically a one-handed fighter with no reach to speak of. This means that somebody with fairly basic technical chops should be able to avoid a lot of Tua. Lewis who was excellent was able to do this fairly easily. There might well be an argument for McCall at his best being more of a threat than Tua.

Exactly this. We're playing a classic fantasy fight here. We can only project Ibeabuchi's potential against a Hall Of Famer like Lewis, because their resumes cannot possibly be compared from a logical point of view.
