Though I have a huge regard and respect for LL as a fighter after he brought Steward into his camp, to me he was the quintessential one-armed bandit before then. It just seemed to me his whole style was built around the right hand, with the jab (indeed his left) hand comparatively lame. I see Lewis rocking George once or twice (maybe even knocking him down), but see this slugfest ultimately ending with Foreman landing a shot that makes McCall and Hasim look like Howard Davis, Jr. Kayo (and I mean knockout) in four or five. Steward Lewis is another matter entirely. A really good left jab and at times vicious left hook, far better boxing/defensive skills. George gets stopped in eight.
I would love to think that, but Steward-era Lewis was too much the complete package imo. And that's coming from someone who loves Big George one hell of a lot more than Lewis (my admiration for Lewis is pretty darn pronounced so that's saying a lot).
