      Absulutely spot on.

        This is a joke right? Lennox would have had no chance against a prime George Foreman, he would have knocked him out like he did Joe Frazier imo. Lennox was a very technically flawed fighter and not the boxing master you make him out to be.
        No it was Foreman who was technically flawed, he through arching bombs, that was it? Hence Ali let him punch himself out, a technical fighter would have had plan B and C. Foreman never did (in the early days)

        Don't get me wrong he was a devastating fighter but as for technique???

        Lewis could box on the front and back foot, he could counter and had awesome power.

        Not sure how he could be technically flawed???
