If Lewis had faced Foreman in 92 Instead of Ruddock?

    Well l read his bio and l'm one of the very few who thought but for the loose ropes Foreman might have won the Rumble in the Jungle and l think he would have won a rematch. So that's more accolades than most people give him

    What l recall was the sunglasses George had on after the fight. He looked like he ran full speed into a brick wall. And if you think Stewart ran in this fight watch it again. I did and it was toe to toe much of the time after the first few rounds. In fact they almost stopped the fight near the end because of how beat up Foreman looked and the ref was worried he couldn't breath properly. Had that been a 12 round fight instead of a 10 round fight Foreman would have definately lost that fight.

    Lewis would still be wary of old Foreman's dangerous power. Lewis
    would be cautious and wouldn't try to blast out old Foreman.
    Lewis keeps out of harm's way and in a snoozefest wins on pts.

    Lewis would have beaten Big George easily... speed kills much more so at heavyweight than other divisions due to the power behind the punches... George knew to not fight Lewis....
