don’t see that happening at all. Lewis has never been comfortable under pressure, and prime Foreman was one of the best pressure fighters and...
I think this is a very fair take. In a first matchup, prime Foreman is exactly the kind of fighter who could catch Lewis early and put him out —...
This is a fair take. Those 2 years difference can certainly make enough of a difference with his speed\reaction time dropping off.
Liston does not fight on his backfoot using movement, so that not really saying much of anything.

I know this is an old thread, but the amount of people saying Lewis would “just clinch Foreman” misunderstanding of what made Foreman dangerous —...
