    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


    Lewis has a much bigger waistline than George, and that, coupled with the slight height advantage is where the weight comes from, as well as the fact that Lewis NEVER looked as cut as a prime Foreman, but there is no way you can say his arms, shoulders, and chest are bigger than George's. Lewis may have a strength advantage on the inside, where he can wrestle, because of being able to lean the extra weight on his opponent, maybe...and that would only be because George didn't wrestle, but I'll bet he doesn't push more weight than Foreman, and I'd bet my house he doesn't punch as hard as Foreman, let alone harder, and besides, Lewis' Uppercuts and hook/roundhouse punches are much slower than Georges' ever were at his best, and those are the only punches that would be effective against Frazier. I see a boring, bull**** fight taking place, where Lewis can't really hit Frazier with anything, but Frazier can't really do anything on the inside because Lewis leans his weight on Joe and ties him up. Who wins? Dunno.

      And George was announced as 6'4 in some of his fights. watch Foreman vs. Ali, George is taller when they are recieving their instructions.

        This a good point, and also a pet peeve of mine, why do people say that Frazier wouldn't have much of a chance to reach Lewis' chin (which I personally agree with) when he is the same height more or less as Toney, who according to some, is going to knock Vitali out, who is significantly taller than Lewis? Just cracks me up.

                I think Frazier wins this fight. I couldn't see Frazier Losing to Hasim or McCall.

                    I see Frazier working his way under the arms of Lewis as the fight goes on. His relentless style and lions heart would sooner or later help destroy his bigger foe. Lewis and Foreman can not be compared in my opinion. Foreman was a crude, raw power-puncher who just overwhelmed Frazier. Lewis would not be able to do that. He fought very differently from Foreman. He might take the early rounds against Frazier, but once Frazier starts smokinī it is only a matter of time before he tires, hurts and knocks out Lewis.

                    Joe Frazier by late ko.

                      People who picked joe is a idiot he was way to basic to compete with that era

                      lennox would been the hardest skilled and most polished puncher joe ever fought

                      Lennox Would pick off joe and ko him joe was easy to hurt with counters they almost ended him shown by Oscar 1st round ko by lennox the best outboxer/combined with great power hw of all time

                      a 2nd drop ends joe lennox wasnt george with those sloopy bad tech shots that joe could keep getting up from or take before going down
