Prime Foreman knocked everybody out, except the greatest... Prime Lewis is the best heavyweight in the game since 82..He did not however have the chin to back him in a fight against Foreman... Foreman ko3...
toss up. i'd think lewis would win 6 times if they fought ten times and foreman would catch lewis with something in the four fights
Foreman by KO, easier than most people here think. Lewis would just hold anyone who got inside on him. A prime George couldn't be held, he was a rampaging beast, and he would rampage right on thru Lewis in a hurry. Lewis would last longer than Frazier probably, but he wouldn't last long.
Don't do this to me. Love both those guys. But I am going with- George. Lennox liked to come out and shock big punchers like George. Unfortunately, George had a hell of a beard, and only went down when tired. And you don't want to use Lennox's other strategy of trying to outbox with the jab. Forman's jab was a punch!
Can Lennox' chin handle it til prime Foreman gasses? Behind a jab and safety first style - I think he might. Then again prime Foreman fought the greatest HW division in history so probably not.
Lennox. George could be aoutboxed and made the likes of Ken Norton look inferior because of his beastish size at the time. George never fought someone bigger than him who also had better boxing ability. Geroge has a punchers chance but i'd have to go with Lewis mid-late KO
Lewis would be petrified by that big punch. And he would utterly outbox Goerge, using every punch in his arsenal to batter the legend into submission. :smoke
You must have missed the Ali & Young fights. They had no trouble tying him up. Speaking of no trouble, they easily landed straight punches through his wide-open defence, and Lewis would too. And unlike them, Lewis packed a huge wallop. The only puncher who Foreman exchanged with (Lyle) had him down twice and nearly out; note that Lyle never stopped a ranked contender. I'm picking Lewis by TKO.
