Foreman (from the70's) against Lewis and Louis. Does he stand a chance?

hm..Lewis vs Foreman the more I think of it I can't get a winner. Lewis can stick and move all night but he would be caught by George, George would catch him frequently.

Joe Louis would beat George bad late if George doesn't get him out early,the big question is can he? I don;t know. Good fights Southpaw I don't have a clue.

 

George always has a punchers chance but I do not like his chance vs Louis and I give Lennox the edge but not as much as Louis

 

Anybody that strong, who punches like that, and has the aggression to move in and let them fly has a chance against anybody.

In fact, I'd say he's a damn difficult, dangerous night for both, and neither Lewis nor Louis can afford mistakes.

 

A chance ? Of course! I don´t think he would be capable of beating Louis though...and Lewis as well, though IMO would be a higher chance.

 

Spot on !

 

I think Foreman takes them both out between 5 and 7 rounds.

Foreman would be too strong with too good of a jab for Louis to defeat. Louis would likely win if it weren't for George's jab being so damn effective. It would only be a matter of time before George lands on Louis's so-so chin and starts to bounce him off of the canvas.

Lewis would be more competitive than Louis, but I think he'd get drug into a fire fight (ala like he did vs Shannon Briggs) and he would get taken out.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if Louis' bum footwork gets his head knocked off. If Louis takes the shots Peralta did, he's getting starched. :yep

 

I agree that the danger is high for Louis. If he gets caught early, he's in big trouble. George can't wait, though. Not like the Lyle fight. He's gotta come out swinging to kill like he did against Frazier, catch Joe before he's comfortable. Move him back immediately, and he can't set his feet to get those jackhammers ripping.

If I were a trainer, I'd be more nervous for Joe. Lennox, big and strong and long, stands to have an easier time restraining that super deadly early burst of aggression that make George so frightening. Jab, hold. When he's tired, let the shots go. That is, basically, the gameplan I'd have for Lewis. A more extended, much more disciplined version of his gameplan for Tyson.

Louis, the paramount thing to do is establish your jab and combinations IMMEDIATELY don't try to warm up. Don't try to brawl. The second he's hitting you consistently and backing you up, it's already over. You have to crack him and get him honest in the first round, in the first minute. If he can do that, I think it stands to become fairly similar to the Baer fight, accounting for George's great speed and skills. But if he can't, George knocks him out. Pick 'em fight for me, I maybe lean Louis 55/45.

 

Big George can hit. So yes he has a chance.

At the same time George cant afford any mistakes either because either one of those guys could flatten him as well. Lennox could crack with that right hand and George couldn't walk through too many of those.

I would favor both Louis and Lewis because of their styles. Though in a heavyweight fight with sluggers anything is possible.
