Young George Foreman (prime) v Lennox Lewis (prime)

It would depend who managed to dictate the nature of the fight.

If Foreman made it into an Irish brawl, then he probably wins.

If Lewis manages to dictate a counterpunching type fight, then he likely wins.

In neither scenario is the result certain.

 

George could win, but Lewis has more ways of winning.

 

foreman by ko, he would finish what bruno could not end, but lewis would have been a hard rival for george

 

Pre-91 Foreman beats any version of Lewis.

 

Give me the more skileld fighter everyday.....

 

Lewis in a definitive victory. Too skilled, just as strong, delivered his power better.

 

A good brawl and exchange may offer Lennox more than he can recover from but then again George never fought anyone as polished that could also punch. The danger here is who hurts who first and neither man had great stamina or late power in prime so my guess is it ends before 8....Foreman got off the floor to win, Lennox never did so a fall may be the end......Lennox had the better ability to box but George is no Golota when it comes to giving up and folding and Lennox hit harder than Lyle and more polished...tough to really say

 

I'd say Lewis probably, Foreman could be outboxed and Lennox is huge and i think could keep him off with his jab, George would really only need one good punch to land home though

 

Foreman is going to walk through Lennox. Be honest. He'll take Lennox punches all night

 

Foreman bombs him out. Better jab and better chin.

 

Just like the shots from Lyle, Young and Ali fine right?

 

He took punishment fine from younger Holyfield who stunned Lennox Lewis in RD1 and 2 with shots not as good right?

Holy also looked dazed when Foreman hit with him a right hook that hit Holyfields arm which was protecting his face but ate up Lennox best shots.

 

Old Foreman wasn't dehydrated like "prime" Foreman was.
He also had a thicker neck, and was way more relaxed than young Foreman.
Not just that, he was also a lot more skilled.
(Looking at just strength (lifting things and alike) old Foreman was also stronger than young Foreman, not talking about speed/reflexes just pure strength.)

Holy also nearly got KOd by John Ruiz... and if he didn't hold for his dear life he would have been KOd.
But that only speaks bad about Lewis though. (After coming a performance many thought Holyfield won (second Lewis fight) he lost the first Ruiz fight and the second. The first fight was a big robbery)

But in the end, that version of Lewis was pretty old too.

 

Foreman didn't even sit down between rounds when he fought Holyfield in 91. He actually stood in his corner between rounds the whole fight. The guy was on his feet literally from start to finish. Amazing.
