    Each time i read a post I think to myself these people sure don't know their boxing and this is the dumbest post I read. Then I read the next one and find it even more idiotic.

    Could Foreman win? The question would be how would Joe Louis not get knocked out. If Max Schmelling could starch him and Billy Conn would have him staggering around the ring then how could he beat Foreman? Wait because Foreman got tired in 2 rounds and Louis would knock him out.

    Or bring up since Foreman went down to Lyle then Louis could do it. Well I would rather be knocked down by 230 pound Lyle when my confidence is shattered than to let a blown up super middleweight who couldn't punch fighter other super middleweights beat me around the ring like Conn did. Infact Louis would of never fought Foreman. He would of cherry picked around him because he was a coward. Foreman would blow him away.

    Lennox Lewis? You mean the guy who was twice stopped in title fights with 1 punch knockouts? You want to talk about stamina then how many times did you see Louis huffing and puffing after a few rounds? Foreman threw a wide hook but his other punches in his prime weren't wide. How the hell could you throw a wide uppercut or wide jab? I couldn't imagine Lewis getting out of 3 rounds with Foreman with his chin. He wasn't a skilled boxer with defense so lets say you do believe if you make it late with Foreman he would tire. How the hell could Lewis make it this long? Horrible stamina and a glass chin but he would make Foreman tired?

    Foreman by Ko in both fights.

    The 1 punch KO's does hurt Lewis's chances..
