This fight would be split in series. But lewis could not win every fight against Foreman,noway, George would ko him in some fight, does not matter the first one or the rematch he would finish Lewis. The problem of Lewis is that he should fight his perfect fight to win and Foreman only has to land a few hard shots and cutting the ring .

Whats your pick on that?

We all know how great Lennox was in his prime. Prime for prime he was definately one of the greatest HWs that ever lived...but so was Big George.

When it comes to technique and skills Lewis is in front. But when it comes to pure strenght in both fists the point goes to Foreman.
Lewis´ left hand was barely a KO weapon, only his right.

Foreman is bigger then Holyfield and Tyson, also much bigger as Tua.

Could Lewis deal with a guy like Foreman for 12 rounds?

Could Lewis KO Foreman? Maybe, he was KOed by Ali and KDed by Lyle, Lewis could definately KD him.

But Foreman has KO power in both fists like Tyson, but is bigger with more reach and more unorthodox punching techniques.
He could KO Lewis with a left and right, so with both hands.

Your pick.

I'd pick Foreman to beat Lewis maybe six times out of ten but a fight in which Foreman may get knocked out himself, if it wasn't for Lewis getting starched by Rahman & McCall i would have picked him most definitely but that chin may not hold up as Foreman was very powerful.
