Resumes: Lennox Lewis vs. George Foreman

I a bit Drunk yeah, i just been shagging my girlfriend for a hour while Drunken.

Ali CHEATED to beat Foreman - with v.loose ropes like bungee cords And poison drink what kill-stamina given to Foreman before teh fight by a African man working for Ali. :deal

Lennox is GOAT IMO - BUT i AGREE Foreman KO him after 6 roundz of Bounching Haymakers of each-others Iron-Cheens. Foreman KO him 1st, becuase he more Powerful And more Iron-Jawed,.


Foreman Hooooook! :hat

 

George Foreman lacks depth in his resume, but has some great signature wins.
Lennox Lewis doesn't have a strong defining victory; his best wins are inconclusive or come against mostly past prime fighters, but he has depth.

When it comes down to it I favor Lennox; I give more credence to more depth over signature wins. You can't control the era you are born in but; if you are born in an era which the best fighters are past their sell by date by the time you face them its not your fault. But you can the control the level of opposition you fight throughout your career.

Bottom line George Foreman has few great wins in a sea of crappy victories.

Lennox Lewis had a better reign but more importantly has a better resume.

 

bottom line all the career of tyson was a sea of crappy victories

 

Foreman Hoook! :hat

resumes, I'm going with Lewis, that said it's very close and I'm probably in the minority who think that if there would have been an Ali-Foreman rematch, I think Foreman would have won, had the rematch been fought with proper ropes in place, and had Foreman paced himself. So I'm a huge fan of both fighters. H2H I think the difference would be Lewis punches straighter and if he arrived in aggressive mode, like he normally does against big strong fighters, he's take any version of Foreman out. And certainly Foreman wouldn't be able to manhandle him the way he did Frazier, if anything the extra 20lb Lewis has, would allow him to tie him up in the clinches. I often think Lewis' strength is very under-rated.

That said, Foreman would always have a punchers chance and would dangerous for as long as he's around.

It's a very close call.

 

you are wrong...

foreman weighed 231 pounds in 1976, he weighed 226-230 pounds in his amateur career, he diminished his weight when he did start his pro career because his trainer wanted work his speed and stamina, a prime lewis weighed 220-230 pounds just like foreman and lennox was taller, foreman was naturally stronger and more compact, lewis weighed 245pounds in his late 30s because his rivals were bigger, he adpted his weight. and he trained weights and he had modern advantages in nutrition and suplements. a young george didn´t train weights and he didn´t have modern advantages and he weighed 231 in 1976. a prime george in the era of lewis would have weighed 240 pounds of pure muscle easily. lewis was a great boxer but he did not have the chin to take the foreman blows,simply.
i agree with you in it , i think that foreman would have beat ali in a rematch, because george wasn´t idiot, ali might not do the same tactic again.

 

oo thankss my friend , i would have loved to see this fight in live.

 

And because you couldnt thats why i put the video up for you

 

It seems like you are trying to sway everything in Georges favour pal. For me Lewis' physical strength is underated when compared to Foreman, i just think Lennox is the physically stronger man. I'm not saying he hits harder than George, although he is not far behind, but he is definately stronger physically. Yeah Foreman is well capable of KOing Lewis, but i think Lennox's chin is better than giving credit for. If Lewis came into the ring motivated and feeling a bit of fear, which he no doubt would do against George, then i don't see Foreman beating him at all. Simple.
Lewis at his best had a full arsenal of punches and was a pure athlete at 6"5, i feel he would be too cute for Foremans winging punches, and has more in his locker to win the fight. Foreman fantastic puncher and a fearsome prospect to face, but head to head with Lewis i just see him has inferior. Just my opinion.
Let's not forget Foreman tasted canvas a few times too, and Lewis' finishing skills when he had his man hurt were usually conclusive.
No one would be clear favourite and Foreman would always be in the fight, but Lewis would be the victor.
One of the great h/weight fantasy fights.

 

I'm not wrong at all. A young Lewis was way faster than Foreman ever dreamed of being. And there's zero doubt who the bigger of the two fighters is. As for Lewis' chin, I would suggest you watch a few video's on youtube to give you some idea of how Lewis could indeed take a punch. It's a misconception that Lewis has a weak chin, while it's not rock granite and not in the league of Foreman's, Holyfield's, Ali's and a few others, it's no where near as bad as his detractors make is appear. Briggs was landing his beat on Lewis and he stood there and allowed it. He also allowed Vitali to basically hit him with his best shot and walked through him. And with McCall's punch, Lewis never saw it coming as he too was trying to throw a punch at the same time. This greatly reduces your resistance, because you're not braced for a punch to come and you can't roll with it either because you don't see it. This is why they always say the punch that gets you is the punch you don't see coming. Lewis would definately see Foreman's punches coming, of that I am fairly certain.
