Middleweight ?
Dempsey did weight cutting, but back then they called it "getting in shape", and he was as big as Fast Eddie Chambers, but faster.
(And better).

He's not the greatest though, 1a) Joe Louis 1b) Muhammad Ali/Cassius Clay.

I would've made a thread commemorating the iconic fight, but my little one has an ear infection, and she is on antibiotics. Neither of us has slept well in about 4 or 5 nights.
Just don't have the time or the energy.

Is she better yet ? Hope she gets better soon.

IMO lewis gets not enough credit on the forums, because rahman knocked him out with
this hammer hand id doesn´t mean that he has a bad chin, this right hand would have
knocked out all the guys you mentioned, including Ali, Louis, Marciano etc..... i would bet
my house on it! he was a big skilled guy with a good jab and a good and hard punch, he
would gave every of "your" boxer a hell of a fight and i think he could ko ali, marciano..

UGH,just when you were going to make a good point you came up with the "It would have knocked anyone out" how the hell do you know? It wasn't even the biggest shot Lewis was caught with during that fight

His previous posts proved that he's denser than a neutron star.
Edit: Good eye, definately Joe Jenette in my av.

It covers all the arguments and explains why he is the best of all time, even Vitali Klitschko and George Foreman say so in this video!
YouTube - Lennox Lewis Greatest of all time?
