It would be over pretty fast. Lewis would be a sitting duck for his bombs. Lewis has no advantages over George outside of a bit of height. Foremans jab is even superior to Lewisâ jab.

    in the 90s George might struggle to catch lewis and also get hit a lot more. But we already know heâs not getting knocked out. It would be a long night for Lewis but he could win on points I think. I would have liked to have seen the George that fought Holyfield up against Lewis. George really came to fight that night and Holyfield was right dead smack in his absolute prime.
    The fiction george you created lunatic

      Foreman was certainly a better boxer than Razor Ruddock. George knew how to box, set up his power behind a big jab. Foreman may still have the same stylistic problem with the Big Dog that Razor had.
      Big George had devastating uppercut and hooks. He was a homicidal finisher, strong as an Ox.

      With that said I don't think he is that much stronger than the Big Dog. GF wouldnt be able to bully LL. The Big Dog keeps this fight at his range, tying up Big George when he has to. 3 or 4 rounds of this would find Foreman frustrated and breathing heavy.

      At that point the Pugilist Specialist starts unleashing his fastball. Remember the Big Dog had one of the most potent right hands in heavyweight history. Ask Big Daddy Bowe.

      They would have to peel Foreman off the canvas by the end.

      Big Dog KO5th.

        Foreman retired after being exposed by Young. Lewis beat Vitali and every fighter he ever faced. Your a little confused.

          Tell me how it is he has so little respect? is it because he has no real nationality and rather is a man of the world. I don't get it. I watched a yt video i posted here earlier and it ranked george 10th out of 20 of all time. Yet lewis wasn't even on the list.
          how can that be? he beat every man he ever faced. people point out his klitschko fight but in that fight he was coming back in the middle rounds and he always found a way to win. I just don't get it. his two losses were just lucky punches,
          #3 or 4 heavyweight on my all-time list. He's a tough out for anyone in history. He was a smart fighter, not always spectacular but nobody wanted to fight him unless they had no other options.

            - - Foreman beat up Young to no credit. This was a typical DKing promotion designed to knock George down a few pegs on the purses like he had already done with Norton.

            Check out the grease spot Fat Lar who was still skinny then beat...embarrasing, yet true!!!

            Vit sent Lewie into the most publicly ignoble retirement a fighter has had until Blubber ducked the Wlad rematch...yeah...

                When a fighter sees he's finished and actually quits there is nothing ignoble about that. Be fair.

                He doesn't owe anyone if he stays quit. Lewis did. He doesn't owe us, for him to take a beating because you want a fighter to get a second chance.

                Be fair. Be respectful. He stayed quit! That should absolve him from the slings and arrows. Be fair.

                  - - But Lewie anything but respectful by putting up umpteen hoops Vit had to jump through, and by the time it was all said and done, WBC put up either shyte or quit the pot, so Lewie quit, so Lewie quit the pot.

                  Vit could've had the WBC title inside 6 months from the first fight but for Lewie hanging on by his dingles.

                    Sheer BS. Lewis owed nobody anything.At 37 at a career highest weight he stopped Vitali.
                    Lewis earned his placing as an all time top ten heavyweight.

                    That's something Vitali never did!

                    Lewis fifteen times fought men who were either top ten Ring ranked or champion.
                    Plus he beat.
