Rated Higher - Foreman Or Lewis?

Who?

 

George Foreman for me...

Prime Joe Frazier
Prime Ken Norton
Prime Ron Lyle
Prime Micheal Moorer
Prime Briggs at 48 (on fair cards)
Old worn Cooney, Qawi and Cooper
A close one with Stewart and Schultz.

TKO L to Muhammad Ali
(Outboxed and outfoxed)
Decision L’s to
“Briggs” at 48
(robbed)
Evander Holyfield
(A close war that saw Evander play hit and run and holding by the end)
Jimmy Young
(His worst L arguably)
Tommy Morrison
(Tommy’s best performance)

Lennox has a lot of worn contenders on his hit list, the only fighters of worth he has actually beaten in there primes are Grant, Vitali, and Shannon Briggs who don’t hold a candle too the above listed wins in my eyes you can throw in Ruddock as well if you like I still don’t see a case... He’s not in Foreman’s league at least as far as resume is concerned in my eyes.

 

My thoughts exactly people need to dissect Lewis a little more closely.

 

How? Might I ask.

 

Exactly.

Lewis's best results are the "Draw" (he deserved to WIN) and the "win" (which was closer) against Evander Holyfield, who was 15 years into his pro career, and at least 5 years deep into his decline.

Lewis was knocked out as a 'reigning champ' against McCall and Rahman, basic plodding unexceptional heavyweights.

But people want to rank him in the top 4 heavyweights of all time.

 

Foreman should be rated higher ...to regain the heavyweight championship of the world ,20 years after you lost it . That’s one of the most amazing accomplishments in professional sports

 

In my opinion...Foreman vs Moorer is a bigger upset than Douglass vs Tyson

 

Yeah. To even come back after 10 years out, at age 38, beat a load of bums, and go 12 rounds with Holyfield at age 42, was a MAJOR accomplishment.

Yet a lot of people here will try to argue otherwise.

 

Lewis is top 10 easily

foreman is top 20 maybe

LL would batter him and I don’t like Lewis but that is the truth

 

Keep grindin' that axe bro.

 

Lewis #3 and Foreman #4 - #7'ish for me.

 

keep burying your head in the sand.

 

Seriously, I gave up trying to convince this forum of Lewis's failings a long time ago.
You guys are a lost cause.
