Prime Lennox Lewis destroys ATG's

I can't comprehend how anyone other than a fool would favor Foreman, and the are some who aren't fools voting for him, so let's just say I'm perplexed.

Someone like Lewis or Holmes was the foil for a guy like Foreman. I assume this is all based on the fact that Lewis got caught with big punches twice in his career, which is a very simple-minded way of thinking.

 

Well it depends what you mean by "favor". I gave Foreman a 30% chance....which is me saying that 1 in 3 or 4 fights against Lewis he may just catch him with a power shot and put him out. I don't think thats being completely unrealistic. I gave Frazier a 50% chance (the best I would give anyone). I think his style is a nightmare for Lennox, and styles make fights :thumbsup

 

Very few people in boxing history beat Lennox Lewis. Maybe Ali, Holmes, Liston, Tyson, etc.

All weight classes included, of course.

 

Lewis head to head is a favorite against any of them. Maybe prime Ali, Louis, Tyson, Marciano & Dempsey have a slight chance but the rest don't have a prayer IMO.

 

The fact that a prime Lewis was knocked out by one punch against 2 slightly above average fighters, has to be taken into account. Lewis was always getting rocked it seemed, guys like Briggs, Bruno, and Vitali all made Lewis' legs buckle, it makes me wonder what skilled fighters like a prime Tyson or Foreman would do to him if they hit him. I feel most if not all are 50/50 for me, Lewis has what it takes to beat fighter on that list, but he could also lose to anyone on that list, on any given night.

 

how would louis beat lennox? i've seen very few louis fights so i can't really tell. it looks to me like he'd be undersized, and seems to be open to about anything from a guy with too much length over him. lennox looks like a nightmare for him.

 

Those who would beat Lewis:

Ali, Louis, Holmes, Foreman, Holyfield.

 

I'm very familiar with Liston's style, but I didn't really think the matchup through prior to my first post.

He did have an excellent reach and jab, and his power was on par with Lewis's. He was the smaller man though, and likely not as skilled on the inside. On the outside, it's virtually even though. At their best, both are capable of stopping the other, Liston more likely to stop Lewis. But I think a Lewis decision win is just as likely, if not moreso than that.

It's definitely a better matchup than Foreman.

Dear god....how long are you going to be posting like this for? I mean its a pretty funny movie and all, but theres no way you can keep it up for months and months

 

I favoured Ali, Holmes, Tyson, and Foreman against Lewis. I don't buy into Lewis' hype machine, he's a great fighter but he got knocked out by 2 b-class fighters so to say he's favourite h2h is absolutely ridicilious.

 

I pick Lewis to beat all of them, He is #1 on my H2H ATG list.
