    Someone said Foreman-Lewis, I expect to be in a minority but I think Lewis boxes Georges ears off in a safety first performance. Lennox did discipline very well, maybe too well.

    Chacon was a better fighter than Gatti definitely a tier above.

    Vic would have got ktfod:dead By Galaxy.

    The other 2 are pretty good matchups though.

    When I met him it more than made my day. It was one of the main highlights of 2008 for me. His little smirk like he knows something about you that nobody else does is priceless.

    So you don't think that the complete schooling Whitaker handed out was in the slightest bit indicative that he might have an edge in this one?

    Okay,Lewis was a better all round boxer than Foreman,but there's always Foreman's punching power to consider. He hit a lot harder than Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman,and there's always George's ability to cut the ring off. Muhammad Ali's quoted,more than once,as saying that none of his opponents did that as well as Foreman did.
