You are LEGEND m8. thumbsup:thumbsup

 

Thanks DaveK. I guess this shows it is not about nostalgia.

 

Thats not a cow - its just a very big parrot

 

it is exactly my opinion, and i have no doubt in my mind. bruno,rahman,oliver mccall they were not even top 10 hardest punchers and they did hurt lewis seriously. i can not see lewis winning by ko. lewis did not have the stamina,the chin , the heart of ali to take the beating from a prime foreman. ali was scared clearly after to the first round.you can see the fear in his eyes. lewis might win a rematch by ud if he fight smart. but foreman would ko him once for sure.AND OF COURSE FOREMAN WAS STRONGER AND HARDER PUNCHER. THE WEIGHT IS NOT MATTER, PRIME LEWIS IN HIS 20s weighed 220-230 pounds just like foreman and lewis was taller, george had clearly bigger and stronger bones and he had more strength. he had clearly stronger arms,lewis did increment his weight in his 30 because he did adapt his weight to the modern era. he trained weights he had modern advantages ... foreman weighed 232 pounds in 1976. and it was his natural weight. he weighed 226-230 in his amateur fights, simply he worked his speed in his early pro career. george foreman in the era of lewis probably would have weighed 240 pounds easily.

great arguement, you have great credibility

 

You stated Lewis was prime at around 230. There for:nut

You think Foreman is stronger than Lewis. There for:nut

You think Foreman wide inaccurate punches will be better than Lewis throwing straights from range. There for:nut

You see the fight being over in the first 3. There for:nut

To save time. Your opinions=:nut

 

of course prime lewis weighed 220-230 pounds in his 20s, his prime. i think? foreman was stronger than lewis hands down, it for sure.
and foreman would ko lewis based on lewis was hurt and ko by guys who were not top punchers. lewis did not have the chin to take the foreman bombs, simple.

 

Foreman is physically stronger than Lewis.

 

Lewis never fought lighter than 241 under Manny . That was against Morrison. He probably started to reach his best after the Mercer fight. You are most certainly a nut if you think Lewis was best pre Manny S.

 

That seems to cover it.

 

vitali klitschko never fought george foreman, simple....

when bowe did beat holyfield foreman said too " riddick bowe is the greatest hw i had ever seen next to muhammad ali" foreman said too "i was scared of joe frazier" he was humble and nice, simple the words are just words.
lewis was a great fighter no doubt but his chin was not of iron and ali was much faster and better fighter than lewis and george foreman was physically stronger and more powerful and harder puncher than lewis.

maybe you think that more weight is = stronger ... well primo carnera was by far stronger than lewis . 6´6 and 260-280 pounds of pure muscle, and it was his natural weight, lewis weighed220-230 pounds in his 20s, in his 30s he weighed 240-245 because he trained weights like a madman and he had modern advantages in nutrition.liston was naturally stronger than lewis too.

by frank lotierzo
Back in October of 1974, many respected boxing historians and ex-world champions said that they believed that George Foreman was the strongest and hardest punching heavyweight champion in boxing history – something that is endorsed by many even to this day. Former heavyweight greats Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis, who both knew a thing or two about punching, agreed that Foreman was the most powerful heavyweight they had ever seen.

they saw primo carnera,liston...

 

Yes, George is always humble in talking about other boxers and makes all kinds of statements. Sounds like Klitschko wants to elevate himself when talking about Lewis. Same thing happened with Briggs when talking about Klitschko.
