    Lennox is big compared to George. I think the right hand of Lennox hurts George and stops him in about 4 or 5.

    Early Lewis gets dragged into a brawl and probably loses an exciting short fight.

    Older Lewis is probably better equipped, around the Grant/Golota/Briggs time.

    Old Foreman has said he never had any intention of getting into the ring with Lewis in his comeback career.

    I just want to add... with the same ref Lewis had against McCall, Foreman probably would've been stopped twice when he got up on unsteady legs against Lyle.

    Lewis can often be drawn into a war by by his bigger opponents... and in a war, Big George's chin prevails. Forman by 6th round KO in a heavyweight brawl.
     
  6. No one bullied Foreman and no on would be "too strong" for him. This is the guy who used to pull jeeps and lift cows on his shoulders. Also,according to Briggs,Morrison and Holyfield,Foreman hit harder then Lewis even when he was old. The only way a person survives prime Foreman is if they can stand up to a beating like Ali. Ali won by being tough and smart with his antics,not by boxing or out boxing him.
    Lennox was KO'd 2 times by far lesser fighters than ATG Foreman.
    I say Foreman wins by KO2

    You have to add that Lewis was fighting when sport science was being introduced, when foreman was fighting it was just training, sparring and who was tougher...... This must have a influence if they met in the late 90's.....as foreman would have more resources in the gym easily account for Lewis... And if Lewis met foreman in the 70's ... And not had the sport science and accses to the manny trainers foreman would still easily account for Lewis

    Lewis' style was good against a shot Tyson. Prime Tyson KO's Lewis.

    Lewis takes a massive punch to the face, to prove his under rated chin.

    Then went ROY JONES JR and destroyed Briggs.

    Prime Lewis dominates 70's Foreman via embarrassing UD


    George Foreman said himself

    'LENNOX LEWIS IS THE GREATEST HW OF ALL TIMES'
