    How was Lewis able to KO ruddock in 2 rounds but Tyson couldn't do it?

    Tyson's a more aggressive fighter than Lewis, so why is it that Ruddock withstood so much of Tyson's beatings, but Lewis was able to get him out of there in only 2 rounds?

      Lewis had more single shot power and was landing bombs flush on the chin

          Because Razor's able to hit Tyson easier than he'd be able to hit Lewis, because of reach.

          Thus, Tyson not wanting to be as aggressive after feeling one of the Ruddock's "mule kicks".

          And also, because Razor can land easier on Tyson, it saps some of his will and energy.

            Lewis hits just as hard as Tyson with his straight right hand. Sometimes a fighter lands a punch just right and gets the KO. Cotto's brother is not a huge puncher yet he hurt Canelo more than anyone before or since even though Canelo has fought guys that hit much harder than Cotto. Maybe Lewis fights him again and does not win by KO.

              The same way Hasim Rahman put Lennox to sleep but neither Holyfield or Tyson could.

                  1: It was LL's best performance
                  2: Ruddock was ****** in the LL fight.
                  3: Tyson was past it.

                    Hasim Rahman is a much bigger puncher than Holyfield though.
