    You got jokes son.
    Sadly it's not funny.

    Neither one of them were during LL'S Prime and they came under highly suspicious situations.

    Rahman isn't journeyman though - he is a WORLD CHAMPION SON.

    K2 loved Rahman, he was one of their biggest challengers rofl.

    Vitali even retired to duck Rahman twice... Rahman is a very underrated power fighter. I will not be shocked if he KO this era's 3rd best Povetkin.

    :lol:

    FANTASTIC POST. Amazing that there are already so many people who understand what H2H means and how great Lewis was.

    Respect. :happy Good to see that the trolls haven't crawled in with their Lewis hating agendas.

    What deadly prime? 97-00 is obviously what you reference. Remember what happened the very next year to a guy nowhere near the ATG HW list. There is no HW who wouldn't lose to other ATG HW's, it's the nature of the division and that is why up until recently, it has been one of the best in boxing.

    Prime Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Holmes.

    I'd spot Lewis the 40 pounds and pick prime Louis all day in a H2H with rules/gloves/judging/reffing/training of Louis' era.

    I'd have to think long and hard about primes of Wladimir, Vitali, Liston, Frazier.

    So the very greatest ever loses to journeymen by KTFO only slightly removed from his peak?

    That's a quality drop for the ages.

    STFU. Moron.

    He was KTFO by Mccall and Rahman and years later Vitali retired him.

    So you tell me a guy who got iced by McCall and Rahman, went life and death with Quitali would be able to take punches from a Prime George Foreman?

    And dont tell me that Foreman wouldnt be able to connect, he had a 82´ Reach!

    Do you see the non bolded parts? Those parts show some intelligence from you.

    Now do you see the bolded parts. Those bolded parts show that you are a moron.

    For you to think that a Joe Louis would have beaten a Prime LL is ****ing laughable.

    Lewis made a career out of destroying big punchers. Now did any of them punch as hard as Joe Joe, debatable. That being said Louis need to get inside on Lennox to win this one. If Joe can constantly land those lefts and inside combinations to the body of Lennox and some to the head, he will make it a very long night.
    I just don't see how Joe can consistantly do this without taking massive punishment himself though.

    would likely be the best all around fighter that Louis ever fought in terms of being balanced in skill, size, power, speed etc. Joe fought Buddy Bear, Buddy Bear is like a 4th grade Lennox Lewis. Lewis have too much a combination of size, power, skills, jab, and that big right hand for the much smaller Joe to overcome.
    The upper cuts Lewis will land as Joe gets inside will be too much and too devasting.

    Joe will give it a great go, he is a ruthless stalker and one of the great finishers. Once Joe gets you hurt, it's very hard for you to recover. The one thing we DO see from Lewis is that he recovers from being hurt very quickly. Outside of the two fluke ko's, every fighter Lewis was hurt in, he came back stronger.

    Vitali-Bruno-Mercer-Briggs-Mason he was hurt in all of them and he came back. Obviously not one of those guys were any where near Joe's caliber, I'll admit that much.

    Still I just don't see Joe's combinations,skills,power and heart over coming Lewis's own combinations, skills, SUPERIOR SIZE, superior jab, superior power, and equal heart.

    Why don't you get out of my thread. Go back to the first grade, learn how to ****ing read a sentence and come back.

    'THE BEST VERSION OF LEWIS'.

    You bringing up a vitali fight where LEwis was 256+ pounds and 38 years old? Vitali would have gotten ktfo in the 7th ******. There was no 7th round because Vitali paid off the doctors. Get out of my thread.

    Prime George Foreman? Which version was that ? The version who knocked out a 5'10 CW or the version who was unable to KO someone who laid against the ropes for 7 rounds opening up his body for free shots.?
