      Kid would favour dempsey to beat foreman, nuff said, lol.
      Dempsey did his best work against big punchers who telegraphed their punches. Foreman fits the mold to a T. Stylistically, I have to favor Dempsey.

        Foreman did his best work against swarmers and the 'big puncher who telegraphed his punches" Luis Angel Firpo knocked Dempsey clean out of the ring.

It doesn't change my opinion of whether or not Louis would beat Foreman nor my opinion that Baer could beat Big George, either; but it is highly enlightening. Thank you for the background info, bro.
            Yeah, Dempsey was so mad at Baer that he said, "You go out there and get your beating in the ring, or I'll give it to you here in the dressing room!"

            Haha, lol!

              The Holyfield who faced Lewis was not as good as the Walcott who faced Louis or the one who lost to Marciano. Joe was a much slicker boxer, had a far better defense, and hit as hard as Holyfield and was probably a better counter-puncher as well.

                He lost to ezzard twice, then finally beat him, lost to louis twice and lost to marciano twice. Yeah he was so great. Walcott wouldnt beat klitchko or tua, i guarantee both would hand him his ass.

                Holyfield was coming off 5 straight wins, yet u downplay him cuz he lost to lennox, guess what walcott wouldnt even touch lewis.

                  Holyfield lost to Bowe twice, Lewis twice, and Moorer once. His biggest claim to fame is one "1-Point" win over a fat Bowe and an upset win over a post-prison/overrated comebacking Tyson.

                  By the time Holyfield met Lewis his best days were behind him, which puts him about equal to the Walcott who still found enough in him to stop Charles with one punch.

                    He beat qawi twice, de leon, tyson twice, bowe, owned moorer in the rematch, and 10 other heavyweight champs. Dont hate cuz walcott doesnt touch his legacy. You can make an excuse for every win holy has, i dont care. He is better than schmeling and walcott, its not even close.

                      Fabulouis; but Qawi was his 12th pro-fight.....much water had passed under the bridge between then and teh Lewis fights....and he should have stopped Moorer the fist time; the man had more glass in his chin that Tommy Morrison.

                      I'm not making any excuses; but stating facts. You're the one who's taking things out of context. Lewis was on the skids by the time he faced Lewis and Walcott, comparitively, was a better fighter at that stage of his career.
