    Yeah, I can't spell, especially when Im looking at the results of haterz trolling the polling.

    Yeah, seen plenty of Foreman.....he was beast who used his size and brute strength to bully chinny 6'3 210lbrs and monster 5'11 195 lbrs.

    Lewis used both his strength to smother big punchers, and his size and reach to pummel them from the outside.
    Prime Lewis is 6'5 250 lbs
    Prime Foreman 6'3 220lbs.

    Foreman was great when he was able to WING wide L/R hooks into guys half his size covering to absorb the shots. Fortunately, that's what the HW division was then......a bunch of tall, skinny chinny fighters, a short infighters.
    That was like boxing in the Bronzen Age.

    Like all sport, BOXING HAS EVOLVED. Big men are no longer skinny chinny potshotters who sit outside behind a jab. Wlad, Lennox, Vitali, Fury, Pulev, Thompson, etc etc etc, all have jab, inside and outside power, and a great combination of strength and skill. Yeah, there are still guys like Julius Long and Sascha Dimitrenko who are long and tall and can't take a bomb going straight back, but more than them are the guys like Fury who fight balls to the wall, inside and out.....not saying Fury<Foreman:nono, but Lewis is the ERA to ERA, H2H ATG GOAT. PERIOD.:deal:thumbsup

    I think people genuinely forget just how big prime Lennox was.

    Halfway through the 12th, and Foreman's furious rally seems to have slowed, as Lewis recovers from the knockdown and takes command of the round, landing overhand right after overhand right. George finally staggers and nearly goes down. Lewis presses the advantage, knowing that this is his last, best chance to win the fight. Lewis pours it on, but proud George fights back, refusing to fall. Lewis knows he can stop Foreman here and now, but he also knows he himself can be stopped any second. He doesn't give it a second thought as he staggers Foreman with another uppercut...

    Final minute of the fight as Lewis' final push begins to take its toll on Foreman. Lewis heard his corner plea with him to "take it to the streets", and the Camaicanlishman responds in kind, holding on to Big George with one hand and driving his forearm into his jaw with the other arm. Foreman lacks the energy to push Lewis away - he's simply too big. As we reach the final 30 seconds of the fight, victory is in sight for Lewis. Does Foreman have the votes for one final hook in him?

    Lewis should win, he is the #1 seed... usually they have the advantage in this case....

    That's how it's done for most fantasy leagues in the playoffs.... Lewis is king.

    Lewis won... #1 seed... tie = higher seed wins... that's how it's done in most professional formats.

    POLL SHOULD BE CLOSED!!!
