In that video you can see them both standing side by side in a ring. pretty interesting. foreman would crush him prime for prime lol

[sleazyfellow]

George was an absolute mauler in his younger years. If he used some technique he'd of been unstoppable. In his older years I gotta give it to Lewis though, he was far too slow. If Lewis tagged him like moorer could he'd give up....but yeah as a younger fighter he'd get Lewis out of there within 3.

When Foreman stood next to Ali and Young everybody thought he was gonna crush them as well. We all know how that turned out.

Lewis beats any version of Foreman, and there is no shame in that. Lewis is one of the most formidable H2H HW's ever.

Guaranteed Young could scamper around under those tropical conditions with the press, DKing, and judges in his pocket ON THE UNDERCARD to a couple of featherweights to
make Lewie look like he was digging his own grave.

The 39 yr old George that had undfeated Field hanging for dear life by fights end would brick Lewie for sure, but obscure Brits were never on George's radar. He made a comeback to fight Tyson, but by the time he'd fought himself into fighting shape, Tyson had already blown up and was serving time.

There was a reason Lewie didn't turn pro in 84 and highly reticent against Field whe he did fight him and never once defended his only unified title, so find. A round peg to pound into that hole in yer noggin , and maybe an Eureka moment for you!!!

70s george kills Lewis, 90s Foreman likely loses a UD, but I would give him a good chance because of the style, Lewis used his size to win most of the time, and Foreman was too strong for size to matter, but he was slower than Lewis in the 90s so that would probably determine the fight.

In the 70s foreman was an agressive monster with a lazer jab, he probably catches Lewis and ends it at some point. He was almost impossible to actually knock out and Lewis has a glass chin so odds are in Foremans favour.

Far from impossible. Ali knocked him out and Lyle decked him several times quite badly, one of those he was 1 second from being counted out. You don't need to put a man to sleep to KO him, he just needs to be counted out. Lewis was more than capable.

Foreman had lethal offense, but you need great defense as well to beat Lewis. And the more lethal your offense is, like Foreman's, the more open you are to counters and get hurt bad yourself. Lennox would adapt and find a way to beat him. 70s Foreman couldn't adapt. He'd get outboxed and he'd be lost.

Queeny I woulda married ya! You never dissapoint. Who in their right mind would accuse Lennox Lewis....a guy who made it his mission to fight all comers... a guy who fought Vitalie training for a guy who could not hit paper hard....a guy who forsook a fancy mandtory against a fighter (Ruiz) whose manager threw more punches (Stoney) than the fighter did.... in favor of a guy who was thought to be a juggernaught at the time (Grant).

Only one person would take the wrong tooth it is Closeau!! Only one person would be hairbrained enough to accuse Lewis, who did have shaky whiskers at times, who was sluggish at times...but who never ducked a fight, of ducking...and that one person would be you!! No wonder Houdini sent his Brook Brothers tailors out after ya kid!!! Yer nuts with no soup!!!!

Yeah Lewis was scared of big George and scared if Bowe yup yup thats my story and Im stickin to it...reality is of no consequence here!

In color the fight might look a bit like the Vitalie fight from a fan's view. George was a monster puncher and we have to ask what Lewis would show up. If it is the lewis that is focused, has his feet under him, and is warmed up and ready the fight may be interesting. If Lewis is any bit distracted, lethargic, not on his A game then Foreman easily.

A couple of comments: lewis is better defensively than people give him credit for. Against Briggs for example he did a nice job of dealing with an initial onslaught. He is also very calm under fire, does not flinch like Vlad does (for example). lewis also showed good whiskers against Vitalie. So the fight may be both men firing away until one yields. Conventional wisdom would say that George could take more punches and give more punishment. I am undecided on this.

Lennox Lewis with dreadlocks was dangerous.

At that point in time? He still could of comeback.

so in your opinion, which I respect, Foreman does not use his size so much? as compared to Lewis?

I do think Foreman does things like turn a man into his punches, and fight inside, better than Lewis. I got to thinking who Foreman fought that was very strong... and I mean pre big George...Lyle was strong and so was Norton... But im not seeing how George is automatically equipped to deal with a big technically overhauled puncher, in the mode of Lewis.

I say "automatic" because I don't know how that fight would turn out but what i do know is that Lewis did well against big guys...We have Grant, we have Razor...I mean Lewis knows how to make those adjustments.

I personally think Liston takes both of them to the woodshed. Liston had better footwork, was faster and more technically sound, and was able to finish it quickly if he got either man in trouble. George was a heavy handed sensation no doubt about it but as Ali showed...he had cracks in his game if one could deal with the punch. Lewis, on the other hand, could use the uppercut very well, and had great power and consistency with his combo punching and right.

All three men could use the jab well. Liston had the best out of all three imo.
