    Big George had a good chance in '93 and no chance in '98. Selah...

    foreman landed on ali, landed on holyfield, both faster men than lewis with a much better chin, rahman and mcall landed and knocked lewis the **** out with a single shot, lewis was drunk against frank bruno, simply fruno had a crappy chin, and he was a bad finisher... but foreman could not finish hin right?
    it is the comment from a poster of 39 posts :lol:

    Toss up . It kills me to admit that cause i love Foreman but i can easily see Lewis winning at that point of their careers .

    George himself said " No way would I want to have to face Lennox Lewis & his big right hand
    He's also reported as saying Lennox Lewis was one of the best HW champs ever

    Foreman may have been stronger than Lewis but it was marginal. Lewis is awfully strong in his own right. More importantly he was a sharper, straighter puncher and quicker with his hands.

    I think Lewis just had a better skillset and was one of the smarter heavyweight champions we have had. Not a good matchup for George Foreman.

    Foreman does have a puncher`s chance.
