Larry Holmes fought 15 rounds with a torn bicep against Ken Norton.I would do as Vitali did and continue my career and not risk tearing my shoulder beyond medical repair. You nor I know what pain he was in and being a doctor, I'm sure he had an idea of what was going on and what would happen if he continued to fight in that condition. He would've made it to the bell but what's the point when his career ends? Don't be so naive.
Muhammed Ali fought 12 rounds with a broken jaw against Ken Norton.
More fighters than I can count have finished fights with broken hands.
Jack Youngblood played in a Super Bowl with a BROKEN LEG.
Vitali quit with a boo boo against a Middleweight.Comment

Read back, we were talking about Byrd. That said, he did get the better of Louis too. Not dominated, but yes he did get the better of Lennox, which nobody before had done, even when they knocked him out.Comment

He didn't dominate Byrd either. I already wrote a post about that fight.
His face was ripped to shreds. How did he get the better of Lewis?Comment

He clearly dominated Byrd. He won almost every round and was hit with nothing effective. Nothing you can say or try and rationalize will rewrite that history bud.
As far as the Lewis fight, he landed 50+ more punches than Lewis and clearly won 4-5 of the 6 rounds. How does that not constitute getting the better of Lennox to you? Seriously?
This is getting a little ridiculous now.Comment
