So COULD Lewis have KOed Evander?

[AintGottaClue]

u make this statment like Holyfield has not gotten into the with any and everyone. A prime tyson would have gotten his ass beat just like he did. Holy is older than mike,and has had much tougher fights. so age is not a factor. if George or tyson couldn't do it, no one can.

u must be dreaming mike was finished since he buster fight a tyson of which faught spinks and others would killed hloyfield so would foreman at his younger age but that wasnt the question and in there primes dont count No lewis could not KO holyfield cause holyfield has the wicked chin adn Lewis's power is overrated

The common verdict is that Lennox held back... the old chess player, remember? It's been repeated countless times, so many I thought people may have heard it. But the pair of you seem content just to talk like a pair of fannies.

the only one who really knocked holyfield out was rid**** bowe on there third fight

To answer the original question, I don't think that Bowe, Lewis, or anyone else could KO a prime (or even now) Holy in a boxing match so badly that Holy would not be conscious. I am thinking like Mesi- TOS or Peter- Williams. With Holyfeild, not going to happen.

If you tied Hold to the corner and let Bowe, Lewis, Tyson, or Tue wail away for 12 rounds with no fear of Holy fighting back, then you have to realistically think that Holy is a human with cerebral fluid around his brain. A non stop barrage of punches has to eventually force him to blackout.

Also, if you look at it from a physics perspective, suppose Lewis and Bowe hit with 100 N/M^2 of force and Tua and Tyson hit with 120 N/M^2 of force, and none of them could knock him out, then suppose an astroid came from outer space and collided with Holyfeild's cranium in just the right spot with 1,000,000 N/M^2 of force..... I rest my case.

The Lion Lacked the power. He didn't ko The Warrior.

The simple answer is that Lewis did not KO Holyfield. Let's make it complicated. Lewis can KO Holyfield, alright. But this is boxing and they are fighting and the ref said "Protect yourself at all times" so Holyfield will not just stand in front of Lewis sticking his chin out just to test if Lewis can knock him out. Since the question is hypothetical, the answer would be: Maybe!

Lennox fought his fight TWICE... If he had to hold back to win, thats what he had to do, and he did...

The way you say "Could he have KO'd Holy?" Of course he could ******. If Holyfield just stood there hands down and said to Lewis "Gimme what you got *****" he would obviously end up on the floor. We're talking about Heavywights here.

But if your talking about in an offical boxing match? No he couldn't, and this has been proven.

Exactly! That's what I mean.
