lennox lewis ( my opinion)

1_ foreman fought in the 70s, lewis in the 90s, lewis had more advantages in training and nutrition, well now we will check his weight and height.

2_ lewis was 6´5 foreman was 6´3 1/2. lewis was taller, foreman was more compact.

3_ please. tell me how lewis was even bigger than foreman..... lewis was taller, but foreman was more compact, they weighed equal in tons of fights and even foreman was heavier in many of these fights. they fought in different eras. and still they had similar size, we never saw foreman 80-85 in his early and middle 30s. probably he would have weighed around 234-240 pounds.

4_ foreman in his come back was bigger and stronger than lewis too, he was not fat against maguila rodriguez, against qawi,rocky serosky or even cooney.

5_ george foreman was naturally stronger than lewis, if you put they both with the same nutrition and the same training, and foreman is the stronger man clearly. lewis was athletic but he was naturally more skinny, foreman had clearly a stronger and more solid structure of bones, he was more compact, lewis trained weights like a mad man past his prime, it is because he weighed 240 pounds. foreman could do it as well. and the weight is not matter, frazier was 20 pounds heavier (of natural weight) than marciano, and still tons of people think that rocky was stronger.

6_you can argue that lewis was more skilled, maybe more versatile, but george foreman was clearly the naturally stronger man, he had much better chin, more heart and he was by far harder puncher, he might well destroy lewis and early. of course lewis could win too, but to say that "lewis was stronger than foreman" it is pure crap.


in few words... you are very wrong

 

So... you concede that modern training is better than old school training?

 

25-29 years old pre prime? when he was hurt by bruno he was not in his prime right? when he was ko by rahman and mccall(not even top 50 hardest punchers) he was not in good shape because he did eat icecream before of the fight right? so when he lost, he was past prime or pre prime, but when he won, he was in his peak right?

kid... george foreman was stronger and harder puncher than lewis. fact
lennox lewis in his physically PRIME(his 20s) weighed 220-235 pounds. fact just like foreman . and george was from the 70s.. and lewis was taller. foreman was more compact and he did not have the advantages of the era of lewis. FOREMAN WAS NATURALLY THE STRONGER MAN.

i will not spend my time talking with a fanboy who can´t accept other thing different to lewis winning.

 

i never said that, i said that the modern advantages are the motive because he was heavier in his 30s. LEWIS IN HIS PEAK PHYSICALLY IN HIS 20s WEIGHED 220-235 POUNDS and he was 6´5. foreman was naturally bigger and stronger than lewis, lewis was a bit taller.period

 

i am talking about his PRIME PHYSICALLY, the body of lewis was in his peak (WEIGHT) when he was in his middle/late 20s.his natural weight, without to train weights was 220-235 pounds, and foreman weighed 220-232. lewis was a bit taller, foreman was stronger and more compact. lewis in his 30s was crearly in overweight he was not as fast as he was in his 20s. george foreman training weights would have weighed 240 pounds as well....and you know that,he was a tank in his return when he did train weights, he weighed 257 pounds ,without the fat he would have weighed 240 pounds. plain and simple.
