I just started a thread on it, yes Holyfield at Cruiser, since really that is what Marciano would really be in this day and age. I'm looking forward to seeing what these guys think! - Thanks Jab!
i think lewis might drop fraizer early .. but fraizer would just keep comin no way lewis would beat him..lewis is too soft to beat a man that hard.. foreman beat him cuz foreman was crazy and coul punch with both hands
But, it really depends on which Lewis showed-up for the fight. Frasier would always show-up, but we all know there was at least two versions of Lennox. If the Lewis with the soft paw jab was trying to set-up the one big right hand, Frasier would have the same chance as Rahman and McCall. If the Lewis that met Evander twice showed-up, Frasier wouldn't get near Lewis' chin.
"Jose" said it all, well almost. Lewis inside 4. Simply put, it's the good big man (actually giant) versus the good little man (actually dwarf against Lewis). Frasier was known to leap with his left, which would be his only hope on Lewis, and he'd need a launching pad to get Lewis's chin.
Foreman had much more power and a much bigger frame, with much more muscle than Lewis ever had. Big George would have beaten Lewis - to a pulp.
Now as to the question of Frazier's chances to have defeated Lewis, I could argue both sides until I am blue in the face, but my gut instinct tells me that if Lewis fought his style of fight he wins it.
Wrong Lewis was much much bigger than Foreman, bot only taller but alot stronger aswell.
Taking both fighters in there primes. 1st Frazier fight for Foreman, 1st Holyfield fight for Lewis
Foreman
Height- 6'3
Weight- 217lbs
Lewis
Height- 6'5
Weight- 242lbs
By comparision Chris Byrd who is a very small heavyweight by todays standards is 6'1, 215lbs. That gives you soem idea of how big Lennox Lewis actually is.
Lewis gets an unfair knock from the public that he is boring.
were these Lewis fights boring?
Rudock
Golota
Briggs
Mercer
Grant
Rahman 1
Rahman 2
Bruno
Botha
Vitali
The point is who would win against Lewis / Frazier. No way in hell Frazier wins. Lewis is too big for him. Also, lewis is faster and Lewis` problem was the right hand, not the left hook.
lewis in 2 rounds! Easy!!
[QUOTE=Soundtraveler
Sure he beat Ali, but Ali was only 225 lbs in his prime. Big George cleaned Fraziers' clock while weighing in at the 250 - 260lb. range.[/QUOTE]
Foreman only weighed about 220 when he fought Frazier, maybe a little less, I'm not sure.

I'm a huge frazier fan, but you might be right. Although I think Frazier would have a good chance to make it look like Oliver McCall vs Lewis.
