    HEavy weights that would destroy big george in my opinion are Lewis and Holmes. There jabs and boxing ability would be too much for a stationary George.

    Young Foreman was not stationary. He was always pressing and was a master at cutting the ring off.

    Foreman by KO. I think Lewis will do well the first half of the fight....then boom! He get caught by a left hook!

    But, when boxers slugged with Lewis, they were almost inevitably stopped.

    In other words, you were wrong and I am right. You didn't specify the ability level of the boxers in question.

    31-0, top contender and picked by MANY to beat Lewis.

    No, but he's not exactly a little guy either. He's what, 6"4? That's only an inch shorter than Lewis. If that makes him too small to hang in with someone of Lewis's height, what chance would a 6"3 Foreman have?

    No, it's just that you don't know much about boxing. Not knowing who Derek Williams is is forgivable, but Tyrell Biggs? Come on!

    That wasn't the challenge and if it was, what would be the point? You could just say "but he's not worth mentioning!" Put it this way: who did Foreman ever beat who was worth mentioning?

    So you haven't seen that fight. Considering you didn't know who Tyrell Biggs was, that isn't surprising.

    If he had no heart, why did he never quit, like Foreman did against Jimmy Young?

    Another fight you apparentely haven't seen.

    lewis and pretty easily. he has size, speed, stamina, and skills on his side. even power might be close. id say foreman had more raw power but lewis has more effective power due to his superior technique.

    foreman's power was effective against smaller guys or dudes who would walk into him.

    lewis would have foreman stumbling around the ring like a drunk. just way too sloppy and weak defensively. old george has a better chance.

    Lewis was 37 years old and at the end of his career. He had nothing to prove. Why don't you tell us how Foreman gave a rematch to Lyle who fought an even closer fight than Lewis-Klitschko, or Moorer, or Schulz, etc etc.



    Not that giving rematches has anything to do with "heart". Bowe ducked Lewis and Holmes avoided his fair share of rematches, but both men would and have never quit in the ring.

    On one hand you have a big guy with a good jab and huge power, but who fought like a gorilla.

    On the other, a big guy with a good jab and huge power, but who fought like a good, technical boxer.

    Barring an unexpected bomb from George that starches Lewis, this has to be Lennox's fight all the way.
