    We are actually talking about George Foreman and Lennox Lewis.


    Foreman >>>>> Lewis.


    Foreman knocks Lewis unconcious and Lewis dies a few hours later

    His height could and probably would play a part. But i meant that Lewis' ability to throw straight punches would be his major advantage over George.
    Also some people tend to think that Lennox could'nt keep Foreman at bay, but it is a demoralising thing to be at the end of a ramrod jab and hard right hands for the most part in a fight, even if your George Foreman.
    Another thing to say is that i can't see Lewis becoming complacent against Big George.
    I would'nt dare discount George in this match up, but Lewis would have more tools to win the fight with.

    The Young fight was a farce and Ali has a concrete jaw.


    Lennox on the other hand....

    Going one step further, Foreman's been down more times in his career than Lewis was.

    And Foreman was beaten by Young, and he was down more times than Lewis was, so what's your point? I would also venture to say that Lewis was hit with a hell of a lot more power punches than George was too. So to focus on two punches out of the hundreds Lewis was hit by and then to extrapolate anything meaningful isn't really showing any analytical skills whatsoever.

    It's difficult to call to be honest, this is pretty much a fifty-fifty fight to me.

    P.S The Jimmy Young fight was the my mind has collapsed somebody save me version of Foreman.

    I'm pressed for time right now, so I jumped ahead to the 33:00 mark of that video (10th round, Young-Foreman). I love Foreman, but he looked terrible there.
