    IMO Foreman by 2nd round KO. It's no use fighting tall against a fighter your same height. Lewis only has 2 inches of reach against George. 15 rounds, who wins?

    When will you understand that just because Lewis' style is good against Tyson, Foreman, Frazier, Marciano, Louis, etc. etc. doesnt mean that he will win. Just look at Duran vs Leonard. Speedy counterpunchers eat brawlers alive but if the other fighter is way better then you in everything else your style wont do to well. SMH :patsch

    Lewis is too smart for foreman, too strong, too many weapons in his arsenel. Out jabs Foreman all night. Lennox Lewis by KO in the 4th. End of story *******.

    You're probably one to say Manny beats out Hearns @ 147 too right? *******s will never change.

    *******? LOLOL how am I a *******. I say that Foreman who has way more accomplishments, fought and beat better fighters, and won more titles, and is ranked way higher then Lewis would win the fight and suddenly it makes me a *******. LOL go to sleep little boy its already 10 and past your bed time

    Why are you bringing in accomplishments? Lennox Lewis IS by far the best hw to ever exist, there has never been a fighter in his era who posed a threat to him.

    *******

    Hearns > Pac @ 147, deal with it
    Floyd > Pac at any weight deal with it. Bro.

    No 1 is too strong for big George, who is the hardest hitting heavy of all time. Lewis would need a Wlad style game plan to beat Big George.

    Ali, Young and Lyle put Foreman down back then, so George's chin isn't invisible. Matters on what Lewis showed up. Lewis blew hot and cold. Sometimes he struggled against fighters he should dominate (Mercer, Bruno, and Mavrovic) while blowing out fighters that gave others trouble like Ruddock and Golata. If the best version of Lennox showed up against the best early Foreman, I'd pick Lewis by TKO. I think the older Forman was a better fighter and would have given Lewis more trouble.

    Interesting fact: Foreman had grown an inch after he came back. He was taller. Or he was listed as taller. His early fights were all ways listed at 6'3". When he came back, he was always listed at 6'4".

    I always thought he looked bigger than 6'3 if I'm honest.

    92 Lewis gets beat by KO within 6 by Foreman.
    96 Lewis has a better chance but I'd still favour foreman to KO Lewis

    If its a '73 foreman then the Ali blueprint doesn't exist yet. Isn't a '92 Lewis a lil green? I mean he doesn't have any world titles yet

    I would favor Foreman but this would be one dope ass fight
