    Equal Power!? Okay, I was wrong. You're not smoking crack. You're tripping on LSD.

    I take both sometimes, but to be honest, I prefered it in the past, now I take only sometimes some pills, you know. I´m a party-man. But that doesn´t change the fact that I know what I´m talking about. Foreman comes from the most overrated HW-era, the 70s, OK. When you look at his record he has an amazing KO- record, but you can´t just estimate because of his KO-%, Lewis right hand is one of the hardest punching-wise ever, it´s not crazy when someone thinks Lewis power is equal to Foreman´s, and when you´re so death sure about it, why do you discuss in a forum, where are only junkies at?...

    I think his KO- wins for example against Rahman, a 260- Grant, Ruddock, Golota, etc. speak for themselves, he KO´d very big and good fighters with good chins, he could do some real damage with his right hand or with his uppercuts for example...

    Lewis has very little chance in this one. He has a glass chin and Foreman lifted his opponents off the ground with his uppercuts.

    Lewis has a glass chin, and Foreman hit as hard as David Tua. Therefore, Foreman KO 1.

    I think his point is that 70's era heavyweights were vastly superior to modern era heavyweights. He's right. In the last almost thirty years, there's only two been three HW's who could have been competitive against a prime Ali, Frazier, Foreman:

    Prime Tyson: Would likely lose to all three

    Prime Holyfield: Frazier and Foreman would be too much, could give Ali a norton-like hard time, but he doesn't beat a prime Ali (late 60's).

    Prime Holmes: Might be able to beat Frazier as a result of style. Could give Ali a hard time, but doesn't beat a prime Ali (late 60's). I don't see him matching up well against Foreman.

    Riddick Bowe could have been mentioned here, except he was prime for like one fight, so he doesn't qualify.
