    I think you may have missed my point... By quite some margin. I said Lewis has a good jab, then you decided to put words in my mouth and claimed I said Lewis didn't have a good jab.


    Please show me where I said Tyson outjabbed Lewis throughout the whole fight. Or say you're lying if you can't.
    You forgot to mention this was Foreman's first fight from a two year exile. When you say Lewis was a far better fighter than Lyle. That's your opinion. Lyle did have aspects over Lewis.

    Now you're just being a moron. I did quote you. Twice. Here it is for the THIRD time. This IS WORD FOR WORD what you said.

    "Even a completely shot Tyson, who had no business being in the ring was able to outjab Lewis."

    That was the full sentence and it says what it says.

    You also could've just said you're wrong and I never said that Tyson out jabbed Lewis throughout the whole fight. But you didn't. :nono

    Okay so we agree that Lewis out jabbed Tyson in their bout and that you were wrong about a COMPLETELY shot Tyson out jabbing Lewis. Is that the bottom line?

    I'm not saying I'm wrong about a complete shot Tyson out jabbing Lewis. I never said he did for the whole bout.

    I think Lennox is the better overall boxer, and I can imagine a scenario where Lewis beats Foreman. But George had an underrated ability to set traps, and Lewis always tended to have "cruising moments". I think Lewis would have to fight a near perfect fight to win, and I think that's a very tall order. I'd be surprised if Lennox could fight mistake free to avoid having his durability tested by George, and I don't think Lewis does well with that test.

    Foreman by KO for me.

    Lewis never had the chin to take shots from Foreman.

    Certainly could go either way but I favor the fighter with the better whiskers here. George has a few rocky moments as the rounds pass but his chin and toughness gets him through. A right hand by Foreman ends the bout suddenly in round six. Lewis is down for the count in a fight he is winning at the time.

    Are you kidding me? Foreman just needs to land that one big shot to lennis face and its game over. Lenni on the other hand can land many big shots to Georges face and he will keep standing.

    Under rated Chins don't go down via one big shots to the face when they aren't even sucker punched. You could on the other hand sucker lunch ali, Foreman, Tyson all day long and they will find a way to still stand.

    Sure they happened two fights each, and if you were watching boxing instead of UFC you'd know that.
