    Definitely...I think thats all you can say really.

    Do I believe he could beat all the great Heavyweights...No. But he'd definitely give any of them a tough night.

    I remember Foreman in an interview (I think Sports Illustrated) saying he'd have taken Lewis out in 2 rounds in his prime. Then Lewis beats Tyson and Foreman says Lewis is the greatest HW ever. :lol:

    Lewis of course is a threat to any HW ever. Isn't this a given?

    Of course he could. The skilled size of Lennox Lewis would beat most heavyweights of the past, though not all. Lennox is a legit top ten heavyweight.

    What's to discuss? LL was a fast big HW with lots of power. Doesn't come much better than that for the big guys.
    And for the cry babies, he was a gent as well.
    Complete package.

    Probably so ..

    But i know 1 heavyweight that he wouldent be no threat to in my opinion

    And thats a PRIME Muhammed Ali

    I think ALI wouldve beaten Lewis with Ease,But thats just my opinion

    Lewis never faced a man like Cassius Clay

    Now we get to it. Foreman is really trying to say that he could have knocked out the greatest ever in two rounds. Foreman is a diabolical genius, really. We already knew that though. That's why most of us own one of those grills.

    A threat? Of course.

    Does that necessarily mean that he could beat all of them? No, it doesn't... but he has a shot.

    When asked in 2000 was there any HW he wouldn't at any point like to have faced, Foreman replied: "Lennox Lewis, that man is dangerous."
