George Foreman vs Lennox Lewis

Tiny George loses to a good big man.

 

TINY GEORGE????? HIS FIST IS BIGGER THAN LENNOXS......HIS LEGS ARE THICKER THAN LENNOXS....LENNOX IS ONLY 1 INCH TALLER THAN GEORGE FOREMAN......HOW IS GEORGE FOREMAN SMALLER?????? GEORGES JAB WOULD OFF SET EVERYTHING LENNOX DID........TUA WENT 12 RDS WITH LENNOX........TUA WOULDNT LAST 5 RDS WITH PRIME FOREMAN......I KNOW STYLES MAKE FIGHTS BUT AS SOON AS LENNOX GOT HIT....HE WOULD BE VERY DEFENSIVE.....AND FOREMAN WOULD CUT OFF THE RING AND MAKE LENNOX WORK HARD.....LENNOX GETS KNOCKED OUT IN 4 RDS......:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke

 

George was the first big 220-225 pound man to be champ (Clay and Frazer were 195 when they won, and Liston was "so huge" at 210/15)...and looked big, HUGE way back then.....

Living in Germany I'd not seen Lennox till the fight vs Butler. The one after McCall.....I tuned in just a bit late...and they were panning 236 pound Butler who looked so huge...and then to the for me first look at Lennox....I took an estamate of 212 pounds and you could have knocked me over with a feather 250 pounds???? Where....he looked slim and trim like a young Ali....
With Forman you knew he was big and bulky or Huge.......Lennox was really huge and didn't look it.
So at 225 big bulky pounds Tiny Forman loses to slim and trim 250 Lennox IMO of course.

 

Foreman is one of the most powerful heavyweight to put gloves on.
The mere fact he could win another title at 47 is a testament to that.

Lewis did have a suspect chin and it was exposed by smaller fighters.
he also survived many a close call from the likes of Briggs and Mercer.

Lewis's size does not save him this time. Any version of Foreman beats Lennox Lewis.

 

WOULDNT HAPPEN......FOREMAN HAS A BETTER JAB THAN ;EWIS.....AND A MUCH BETTER CHIN......I LIKE LENNOX BUT HE WOULD LOOSE.

 

Not to nit pick here, but I don't think too many people view

as being an all time great puncher on par with Foreman or Shavers.

 

Forman's jab is not in the same class as Lennox. Don't see where you got your impression....powerful yes but not fast or all that good.

Forman 6"3 1/2 reach 82, weight for Fraiser 217....220 for Ali....
Lenoxx 6'5" 84 inch reach.....238 for McCall, 248 for Butler, 246 for Rahman 2.
total Reach(height and reach) for Lennox, of 3 1/2 inches.

Lyle had Foreman down,(great fight) Ali stopped him.
McCall and Rahman Koed Lennox...don't really know how many times he was down out side of those two times....but all in all, Lenoxx fought better more active and higher rated comp....

Forman had condition problems, Forte(who), PERALTA(was a good lt.heavy) 1, (Peratala 2 was 10 round KO of 15, and Jimmy Young won in 12.
You can say it shows his power....but up to Blind in one eye Frazier, he was fed nothing but tommato cans, out side of an old Chevelo and Boone Kirkman.....Perlata wasn't exactly a house hold name.....

So looking back in mind and Boxrec...it's no wonder I favored Frazier...didn't know about that bad eye...no one did except his trainer.

I have deleted comments I made about Old Foreman, in that is not relevent to this thread.....

 

Anyone who said Lewis is on crack. Not worth it to elaborate any further.

 

Definitly. Lewis has a glass chin, no stamina, little power and no heart, and Foreman was from the 70's. What were those 57 people that voted for Lewis thinking?!

 

Lewis was a very good tactician. Norton was a better one. This is a no-brainer.

 

Norton was also a lot more durable and beat The Greatest. He didn't get beat up by journeymen like Lummox Lewis. A no-brainer indeed.

 

I pick Lewis over Foreman any times, both at their best. Lennox had equal power, a better stamina, much better boxing skills, a better guard, better punch arsenal, reach-advantages, etc., the only advantage Foreman had was his chin, but I see Lewis carefully outpointing Foreman until the midrounds, where a left- right- combinations TKO´s George...

 

Thats all well and good Luigi, but please change your avator to a star wars figure.

Thats what we're doing this week :good
