    Why ?!
    Lewis hits just as hard with his right, and is way more skilled.

    a lot.let see . he already did loss on knocked down & not yet up for time with Rahman. so it demonstrate possibility of knocked out
    he struggle with Mercer . so is 1 there already. he can loss to Mercer. but strong jab boxer similar to Mercer also. or better boxer example Sonny Liston .
    & if Evander Holyfield 28 age years not 37 age years. this is 1 Lewis can loss also . it was too close to not count this possible

    in history all most good fighter will loss to a lot of fighter . so much different styles. even great boxer most will find loss in the career own era. so in all of history? it is several loss & struggle with.
    in heavyweight even more so the risk of knocked out in 1 punch

    in history too many good fighter for 1 man to go against with unbeatable. or with struggled. not realist scene to consider it.

    it is good to pretend in unbeatable or I see persons say ' Head to head "" in all of history. this is good boxing fantasy for legend. &
    but too many styles or challenges to match with
    too many unique styles who can deal with?

    Lennox Lewis was great champion but even if only struggle or loss with 4, 5 match in entirety career. in 1 " Era '
    how much is it likely he struggle or loss with if for the all whole history?
    think it must he a lot. anywhere from 20 boxer minimum. possible 100 & or more. isn't it

    I was referring to Louis but didn’t want to cause confusion regarding their last names which is why I went by their first names.

    I'll go with two fighter from his own era. Mike Moorer who was as south paw that Lewis admitted doesn't like to fight and looked off vs Ossie Ocasio who was the only south paw he fought and Ike Ibeancuhi the undefeated fighter who had power and developing skills who beat Tua and Byrd. By the way Lewis dropped a belt to fight the South paw Byrd.

    Because he's got the power to crunch people. And his chin, I'd say, is better than Lewis s.
    Not confident of anyone going head to head with George tbh.

    Neither am I. But he is a talented southpaw that demands your focus on the job, and one who's not big name either. Bowe, Holyfield, and Tyson were the big names. Lewis might have an issue taking Moorer's punches as well. Like the thread says which fighter would Lewis struggle with. The Southpawed Morrer is one I picked because he is good and Lewis himself didn't like Southpaws.

    Plenty have the power to crunch people, you need more than that against Lewis, you need to have the ability to land it on him, and Foreman ain't got that.
