    I wouldn't pick young to beat him.. But I'd give him a significantly better chance of doing it than George foreman. Young was durable and very difficult to hit flush. And Lewis never showed how he'd do against that type of opponent as there were no jimmy youngs in the 90s. Lennox was an absolute destroyer of slow moving punchers with poor stamina and weak defenses and that's the sort of mold a 70s foreman fit into..

    If you really think Holyfield hit harder than Lewis, I'd like to have the drink you ordered. :lol:

    Lyle not only dropped but also knocked the **** out, of S**** Iron. :deal The only man to do so. Something neither Liston nor Foreman were able to do. They are the hardest hitting champions in boxing history.
    Funny you mention "Logic on the rock" because that also suggests Lyle hit harder. :yep Lyle was able to knock down a younger Foreman twice, accounting for half his knock downs. A prime Holyfield couldn't do that to an ANCIENT Foreman.

    If by "lying scum" you mean proving facts then guilty as charged.

    How can you possibly deny that Young, Ali and Lyle dropped Foreman?

    How is it that the Ring Magazine puts Holyfield in the top 100 punchers of all time and not Ali, Lyle and Young?

    How can you deny that Young only had 11 KO's in his career and a KO % of about 20%.

    Unlike your ****, not one iota of this is speculation or opinion, rather these are all FACTS.

    Foreman down four times in his career Lewis down twice. No amount of spinning is going to change this. Of the four times he was down he lost twice. No amount of spinning is going to change this either.

    These are facts, all you've presented is bs.

    Foreman was gassed when he got dropped by Ali and Young. That had nothing to do with chin. He took Frazier's left hooks and shook them off. He was clearly rusty for Lyle. He was fine after the Lyle knockdowns. He wasn't wobbly when he got up. Lewis on the other hand....

    Who cares? Everyone knows Lewis was making Ocean's eleven and didn't train properly for the Rahman fight and that he was on his feet before being counted out against McCall but you don't seem to care about that, so if these things don't matter why should Foreman's excuses matter? It's called being consistent you can't give a pass to only one of these two fighters and then pretend you don't have an agenda.

    You're denser than I thought. Not being climitized to fight at elevation is almost the definition of exhaustion.

    Why don t you either think or failing that do some research before posting because that truly was an idiotic statement.
