    Who wins a fight between the 1991 Foreman who fought Holyfield with the Lennox Lewis who beat Holyfield in 1999.

    Lewis very easily.
    1974 Foreman v 1999 Lewis is a much tougher question.

    Lewis walks through 1970s and 1990s Foreman with absolute ease. Foreman is simply too slow and crude to have any chance vs. Lennox bar a lucky punch.

    Lewis beats a 90s Foreman no doubt. Only way to win for Foreman is by KO with Lewis having a bad night and getting careless.

    Lewis vs. 70s is a pick em fight for me. Foreman had underrated boxing skills.

    He doesn't walk through him, he walks around him. That cautious jab would be pumping all fight. The younger version of Foreman would be a much tougher fight.

    Foreman had a unique boxing style: none.
    He walks in the ring and says "which one of yall is the ref, cuz im knockin the other mother****er out"

    I really cannot believe what I am reading . Foreman was once the Tyson of his era.

    70's Foreman beats the black off Lewis.
