    •Pre-Steward and Post-Steward Lewis vs Sunshine Showdown Foreman.

    •Bowe from Holyfield 1-3 fights vs Rumble in the Jungle Foreman.

    •Holyfield from Ruiz 1 vs Foreman from the Lyle Fight.

    •Morrison from the Lewis Fight vs Foreman from the Young Fight.

    •Holmes from the Shavers Fight vs

    Man Foreman v Bowe would be such a great match. I’m gonna take Foreman for two of three there.

    I think Foreman is Lewis kryptonite. Lewis could evade when he wanted to but that was against much lesser fighters who weren’t able to properly cut the ring off or trade blows. Foreman for the win.

    Foreman beats Holy and Morrison

    as Foreman is Lewis kryptonite Holmes and Ali are really bad for foreman. Fast great jabbing movers with good chins will always bother foreman. Think Holmes gets the W If he survives the first five rounds.

    I favor George in all of theeses match-ups, just the Holmes fight is a near 50/50. Bowe, Lewis is about ~60/40 Foreman.

    I don't think Foreman is kryptonite for Lewis (unless you're talking about Pre-Steward Lewis, who still had enough to not be considered tailor made for Foreman) as the latter was taller, bigger, physically stronger, had a longer reach and had far better boxing skills than young Foreman, and the only thing he gave up in was footspeed and handspeed (by a slight margin). It'd be a good fight none the less.

    Lewis fought excellent combination punchers as in Holyfield (although he was old, he still had the juice) who was far better than both versions of Foreman in terms of overall skill and footwork, plus he's not much smaller than Foreman as well.
