Could Lennox Lewis' chin hold up in a slugfest with Prime Foreman?

Obviously not. Lennox needs to move a lot and avoid Foreman's punches, which is unlikely in a small sized ring

 

Lewis has taken some flush shots from big hitters before without going down.

Lewis has also taken some flush shots from big hitters and been KTFO.

So I'd say he could ... for a bit.

The real question is can Foreman take Lewis' power punches in a shootout? Lennox has the size and power to KTFO any heavy with the right punch imho.

I'd say it's a tossup. 50-50.

One thing is certain, however.

Whoever wins, wins big and the loser immediately gets "exposed" as a fraud, glass jawed, and a never has been

 

Nice post.

 

lol no

foreman knocks him out cold with a glancing blow... if he catches him clean lewis leaves the ring on a stretcher

 

Can't see Lewis getting through this. He didn't have a glass jaw other wise he wouldn't have been at the top for over a decade, in a era full of big punchers. But could he win in a brawl with gf? No chance. He could maybe even hurt foreman sim to the lyle fight but ultimately its going to be George that score s the ko blow. To stand toe to toe with big George u ve got to have a decent chin that can withstand some serious damage.

 

No. I think for 12 rounds not.
Unles lewis win by cut

 

Not sure if either man can survive the others power.

 

Nope . Absolutely not . Lewis might surprise us all and survive a lot longer than we expect.

But Lewis will still end up as the knockout victim in this fight .

 

No

 

Who can

 

If he goes toe to toe with Foreman, and tries to slug it out, he is probably going to end up on the wrong end of that transaction.

He would have other options however!

 

In a slugfest, Lewis will get there first. He did with Ruddock. He tended to do it with the large heavy hitters he faced, Briggs, Golota, Grant...

 

No.

 

No
