Foreman vs Lewis

I've always favoured Lewis in this matchup.

I mean Foreman would have to walk through Lewis to do damage because he's too slow of hand and feet.

I just cannot picture anyone walking through Lewis with such an open defence. It seems much more likely that Lewis ****s him on the way in.

If George fights behind the jab and stalks his way in a but like Golovkin does, if he can close the range intelligently then he should be able to bomb Lewis out.

Has George ever fought patiently behind a jab trying to slowly close the gap? Because if he comes out bombing he's gonna get bombed himself. So from what I've seen he doesn't have the tools to be a favourite for me because a punchers chance isn't enough to make a man a favourite.

Lewis by ko.

 

I picked a draw and I think that's favourable to George...

If they were at their primes and injury free with a camp for each other I think Lewis busts up Georges eye before he can catch up to him....if Foreman does catch him gassing or slacking/resting then he can finish the job Norton style.

 

I completely agree.

 

George is not getting kod by lenni. Being out boxed is a possibility but remember George just needs to land that one big shot to lennis face. He has that punchers chance against girly lenni.

 

The minute I see nonsense like that posted here I decide to aren't worth engaging into a debate with.

Have a nice evening.

 

Truth hurts about lenni. I know.

 

Have a watch of the Lewis v Bruno fight to see how Lewis responds to a good hard punch to the face from a slow but powerful man.

PS Why do you always use 'girly' as an insult. Do you not like women?

 

Rahman and McCall happened. It's a permanent blot on his record. He was not sucker punched. He makes excuses he was not fully tuned for the Vitali fight but just about lucky to survive. He uses excuses that a lack of preparation was responsible for him being unable to take a big shot to the face from McCall and rahman which is just rubbish. Out of all the major heavy weights, he is the one against whom there will be unanimity that the guy can't handle a big shot to the face.

 

Well, strictly speaking, there won't be unanimity as I don't agree with you. And I backed that up with evidence of him taking a whack to the face off Bruno. I could as easily have said Morrison, Briggs, Mercer, Butler, Tucker, Grant, Holyfield, Mason among others. He took plenty of whacks to the face without going down. I can give a reason why he was so badly hurt vs Rahman and McCall. Can you explain how he didn't go down against any of the opponents I listed above?

 

Holyfield, tucker were past their prime when he fought them. Holyfield has never been renowned for carrying one punch KO power. Morrison was on the downhill when Lewis fought him and he had an even girlier chin than lenni as he couldn't even deal with a jab to the face, in any case Morrison did not land anything significant. Ray Mercer was 36 years old when he fought lenni, lenni being the younger guy should have put in a much better performance, granted it was a tough fight but did Mercer hit Lenni flush on the sweet spot ie mouth, nose, chin area, was it a half assed punch, full blooded punch?

Lenni was very lucky with that lucky punch against Bruno who I would say had a ****ier chin than lenni. I have seen that match a few times and Bruno apart from rabbit punching, could not penetrate lennis defensive posture around the head and face.

None of these opponents hit him in the sweet spot the way McCall and Rahman did.

The only time I saw lenni surprisingly stand on his feet was against Vitali who had hit him flush on the sweet spot.

Point is lennis chin was very suspect. His biggest weakness. He was very gifted skill wise and used his Height, reach, boxing strategy and skills to good effect but everyone in history knows what happened when he got hit flush in the sweet spot.

And please don't diss Foreman who proved time and time again to possess the Superior chin.

 

You don't get to be the undesputed heavyweight champion of the world if you csn't take a punch. This isn't the UFC.

If Lewis ciuldn't take a punch then how the hell did he beat Rahman in the rematch? 'How did he beat Tyson and Tua? How did he beat Vitali who had him hurt in the second round?

UFC might want to start watching boxing every now and then because he obviously knows fvck all about what he's talking about.

 

You can be the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world if you are a giant with a huge weight, reach advantage over others in a weak division if you have superior boxing skills and your main challenges are shot.

Rahman never hit him a single time in the rematch and avenging a defeat against rahman was hardly like beating Joe frazier or George Foreman in a rematch. This was a match that lenni should never have lost to begin with but alas for his girly chin.

Tua and Tyson hardly hit him with anything significant and both were too slow to cause any damage to lenni

Granted Vitali was the one match when lennis chin managed to really hold up from flush punches but I will take Danny Williams assessment on Vitali which is he wasn't a hard puncher at all.

 

If anyone thinks Ali could put Lewis on rubber legs like he did to Foreman with one right hand shot, ( forget the follow up shots, it was the one good right that fuked Foremans excuse for a brain ) they should be living in a cuckoo clock. Lewis destroys the slow, plodding, cumbersome, robotic, useless Foreman pre the Jimmy Young fight without breaking sweat.
