    Holmes still has advantages in speed, footwork, combinations, footwork, etc. And it's not like Lewis's height is totally gonna change the fight because Holmes had greater jab in the first place

    There's also guys like Norton and Lyle who would trouble him. Norton probably gets stopped in a shoot out, but Lyle would certainly have his chance too..

    Lewis would probably kill all those bums in 1 round...
    i don't know who is most delusional :British fans with their Haye or americans with their"boxing legends"mania
    look an foreman!!!he was a bum of monumental proportions and fraud....look at his footwork,punching technique,he barely walks on the ring looking like a drunkard,and the way he punch is somewhat funny....most amateur have better technique that him,look how slow they are:

    Only 1 fight looked questionable, his wins over Shavers, Foreman, Norton, Frazier and Paterson were legit as was the first Liston fight. BTW anyone who claims Haye is faster or better than Tyson, or Holyfield has ZERO credibility IMO.

    :patsch Thats a 45 year old man becoming the oldest HW champ in history, Foreman at his peak would be a huge problem for the vast majority of HWs.

    HO! I'm soooo sorry! only "One" of his fights were "FIXED!" And I NEVER posted Haye was "Better" than Tyson or Anything about Holyfield at all. Maybe you need to get help for your memory?

    I think Ali more than likely beats him, though Lewis is a pretty live underdog. The fact most people ignore is back then Ali was more often than not the bigger man in the fight. Something he doesn't have in this fight.

    Foreman Lewis could go either way. You could fight 10 times and have 10 completely different results. Foreman of the 90's flat out wanted no part of Lewis and made that clear. Foreman of the 70's was a bad man. Coin toss IMO.

    Frazier loses IMO. Probably puts up a hell of a fight, but too many obstacles to overcome.

    Holmes? I'd make him favourite, but Lewis could win.

    you should really go back and watch your hero fight again. maby its because i wasnt born when he was fighting i have watched alot of his fights on espn classic. I think he was a good fighter but his mouth like hays makes poeple think he was better than he was.

    Lennox Lewis in Ali's era would have been grooming nut sacks in the locker room.

    GTF out of here with your simple ass and go make me a sandwich.

    Foreman was so slow watching him fight was like looking at still photography! And this from a man who wasn't much over cruiserweight today. The greats of the past were really just a joke.........
