i never said better. what i did say though was that lewis would have a much easier time with the style of holyfield in his earlier days when he liked to move and circle his opponent. lewis would pick him off as he tried to work his way in. foreman had no skill to speak of. none. he didn't have great foot work either. it was good, but pretty useless when he closed range against someone who could take advantage of his lack of skill and distance. :rofl foreman has defence now? when did this happen? high work rate? you don't have the foggiest do you? so foreman would just walk right through the big right hands of lewis? how would he force himself inside someone who was great at keeping range like lewis? lewis would hit him then move off to the side with much better footwork. it's a mismatch! foreman isn't doing anything other than getting hit hard at will. he doesn't have the combination of punches to compete. easy work. :rofl:rofl:rofl tyson is going to slip inside as well to land a left hook? if he was able to slip inside, lewis would tie him up. he wouldn't be able to get the left hook off. if he's landing, it will be the right over the top. tyson wasn't able to land the left hook against holyfield for the same reasons. so ali wasn't hit a lot by fighters with a little bit of skill? you're watching too much of ali against slow as **** plodders. it's messing with your brain. i wasted your time!? i feel insulted! your ability to break down styles is some of the worst i've seen around here. even you don't know what you're talking about. do i agree he's top five? i said he was the no. 1. so yeah, obviously. :-(
U have to have Joe Louis in the top three, this is guy who was fighting in an era in which 6 ounce gloves were worn.
No ******, both are below Tyson who would **** both in the same night Tyson, Lewis, and Vitali ... in that succession
H2H? Ali, Louis, Marciano, Vitaly, Lewis, Tyson, Foreman, Frazier make up my top 8. They migh have beaten each-other criss-cross.
I dont know about that. I actually have them side by side. Not because LL has a paper win over Vitaly.. because I agree that the fight showed Vitaly was the better man on the night.. I just think that Vitaly was more prime on that night than LL so a prime LL I think would be even with Vitaly.
In no order, this is my supreme top tier of H2H HWs: Louis, Johnson, Ali, Foreman, Lennox, Wladimir, Vitali, Tyson I know that's a lot of guys. The Klitschko's and Tyson would be trimmed off first.
