    As I said, puncher's chance, but the context is a best of three with both at their peak. There's no way Lewis gets beat two out of three times. It doesn't happen.

    Foreman early KO is def the most likely result in this fight...

    With his all round ability he should never lose Foreman, but if he got koed in the first contest its not often a fighter can reverse that defeat in rematches. Lewis did however do this against McCall and Rahman so who knows. They two ain't Big George.

    Foreman has a lot to trouble Lewis.

    We don't know that.

    He never fought the opponents he lost to three times.

    So, playing by your cool guy rules, I could simply say, "There's no way Lewis would fight Foreman a third time after they exchanged victories in the first two. It doesn't happen."

    I'm pretty sure Lewis would win, but I like Foreman so if most pick him, I'm okay with that too. Only real problem I have is that's probably going to leave the K brothers making the semi's and I'm almost positive that Lewis would beat them both.

    Lewis, just all round better skilled and just as powerful. Better footwork, better jab, better accuracy, better boxer.

    Foreman would be dangerous but a up for it Lewis would take him out.

    Lennox. Even George doesn't think he could beat him, and boxers don't readily admit that.
    There both Olympic champions, but out of the two Lennox had the greater skill set. I don't buy the stuff about lack of concentrations. Both his losses were because he was under prepared.Pepe Corea couldn't train a dog let alone a Heavyweight World Champion and the only person that thought Lennox was right in his assessment of not needing longer altitude training for Rahman was Lennox. He showed avenging the Rahman defeats that id he DID lose the first, the second two would be very different.

    Lennox could adapt improvise and overcome and I don't think George could, so unsurprisingly, its Lennox for me.

    Strange too because Lewis beat Vitali and i reckon he would again if they rematched at prime condition...not sure if Foreman does though. What fight that would be.

    All 3 beat Wlad

    If Foreman wins this poll, it'll make for some odd potential finals match-ups, depending on who else comes out of the semi-finals.

    We could end up seeing a Foreman-Ali "rematch" as a finals match, or the two Klitschkos against each other in a finals sure to **** off a lot of people, lol. I wasn't expecting either of those possibilities when I put together the tournament, but now it seems there's a good chance of that happening, unless Lewis makes a sudden comeback.

    Sorry I don't see Foreman winning this. Too crude, too limited. Brute force doesn't win fights against a technically skilled and smart SHW.
