Lennox Lewis vs Ingemar Johansson

[sonnyboyx2]

Sure he had a punchers chance but that is it. Lennox was just a bigger better fighter and hit even harder than Johansson. I think Ingo struggles to land anything of note on a prime LL, He'd get his head jabbed off and then Lewis would drop the big right on him. That Mavrovic guy had an incredible chin man, Ingo dont

Lewis jab was very mediocre so i dont see him jabbing any fighters head off because he has never been able to do that in any fight in his whole career... Lewis would be favorite to beat Ingo yet if Rahman & McCall could poleaxe Lewis then i see Lewis hitting the deck the first time Ingo lands one on his chin.

You said it was a fluke, that is discrediting it. Forget P4P, Ingo just hit harder than Briggs & Mercer full stop. Briggs & Mercer never knocked a fighter with a chin of Edddie Machin and on footage both don't look like they punch harder either.

It amazing how many boxing fans think you need to be big to punch hard. There is plenty of evidence that shows that it is not the case in boxing. For whatever reason boxers dont need big muscles to generate velocity on their punch.

Not going to predict your match up, only seen a few of Johansson's fights and my memory of them are a little vague.

He jabbed Tua to death. Ingo couldnt take the shots Tua did his chin wasnt good enough. He has a punchers chance and nothing more, Lewis is bigger, stronger, more skilled, even harder hitting, not much in it speed wise, Lewis didnt have the best chin ever but neither did Ingo. Lewis knocks the guy cold.

I know u dont like Lewis sonny and believe me i really dont like him either but credit where its due he could fight and he could fight a whole lot better than the mediocre Johansson

i totally agree with all you have said in that Lewis is far superior in every department than Ingo and he would most likely beat the Swede easily, yet Lewis was also vastly superior in every department than both Rahman & McCall as is Ingo, so there has to be that bit of caution when making a prediction on a hypothetical match-up which includes Lewis.. i like to put down a wager when big boxing matches are on TV and in this match-up my money would be on Lewis yet i would not be surprised if it ended like his fights with Rahman or McCall did.

Fair enough i guess, when uve been KO'd like Lewis by fighters of that caliber then no fight is really a gimmie but the odds are Massively in LL's favour

As long as Lewis was focused and took his opponent seriously then Ingo would have little too no chance

Yeah, what a crappy jab..

He managed to keep stagger Vitali with it.. So why won't he be able to keep the much smaller and less built Ingemar off with a jab..?

Bruno & Mercer gave him a lesson in jabbing

How did u score that Mercer fight btw? Think i will watch it again tonight and post my score in Barnburners scorecard thread

Well Lewis could get caught cold and another thing is that Johansson would quite happily stink the place out waiting to land his punch, so Lewis would need to stay focussed. Johannsson could hit so you got to give him a punchers chance but I don't give him much more chance than that.
