    Yeah, I get exactly what you're saying. That's why I decided to do the tournament, because I hoped people would consider the style match-ups that came with the draws more than who is simply "greater".

    Foreman upset Holyfield in the last round and if he pulls this off, it'll be a huge upset this round. A lot of people consider Lennox GOAT H2H

    I can't see Lewis losing twice, once maybe, but not twice.

    Its a toss up. Leaning slightly towards Lewis.

    Lewis would handle him comfortably, punchers chance though.

    LOL! Are you the one guy who had Jeffries over Ali?

    This poll has been dramatic with how it's shifted back and forth since it's gone up. Foreman started with a HUGE lead, then almost overnight Lewis came back and took the lead, and now Foreman is back ahead. You may yet get your way. :)

    Foreman came forward with no defence. Lewis was a great counter puncher.

    work it out.

    this is a miss-match that lasts 5 rounds. Lewis all day.

    Interesting match-up. Lewis had a tendency of getting hit on the chin by dangerous shots. Very dangerous trend against someone like Foreman.

    Wow, damn foreman winning? Lennox jabs the hell out of him all night and makes him pay for those wild slow haymakers.

    When Lewis was focused and prepared he was a formidable proposition. I think he has the size,strength,power and importantly the jab to keep even the young and hungry Foreman at bay.
    There would be anxious moments early on but I think Lewis would come through that and gradually wear Foreman down, beating him to a standstill for a late stoppage.

    so this bull**** of Foreman being in front is still going on?

    those who picked Foreman don't believe for a second that he'd win. but America can't sit back and let all their best Heavies get washed out like they would if the fights actually happened. so they live in delusion and lies. congratulations.

    Lewis would rip his head off in a disgustingly one sided kicking. Foreman hasn't got a god damn prayer. the style match up is as bad as it could get for Foreman. no contest.

    Utterly amazed Foreman is still ahead.

    Foreman had a punchers chance against Lewis, but he couldn't, under ANY circumstances, outbox him. There is absolutely no way Lewis loses two out of three times to Foreman. None.

    I just voted for a Lewis win. He has all the tools to beat Foreman but I just can't not see Big George landing flush on Lewis where a ko would likely occur at some point in the first 7 rounds. Changing my mind, Foreman ko win.

    You are right, he would never ever outbox a skilled stand up boxer like Lewis. However I do think Foreman would land cleanly and hurt Lennox at some point in the contest where a ko win is very possible.
