Was Lewis stronger than Foreman?

[outofit]

George Foreman could knock out a John Deere

Lewis has the strength of a trained boxer...Foreman has the strenght of a wrecking ball.

[scap]

Lewis has a beautiful right it is one of the best punches in the history of the division and it allowed Lewis to hide many of his weaknesses including his suspect chin but Formeman is definately more powerfui...having a great right hand is different then the raw power that a Goerge Foreman had...

it is like comparing a prime Vald Guerrero to a prime Ken Griffey Jr in terms of there power. Griffey when right was one of the greatest home run hitters of all time and his swing was as natural as any home run swing in the game...now take a look at Vlad....it is not the prettiest thing in the world but the power is undeniable..the raw ****ing power. Who is more powerful Griffey or Vlad...easily Vlad but Griffey may have been the better home run hitter for a time...same way with Foreman and Lewis...Ill let you guess who is who in this analogy.

His destruction of Frazier was unbelievable and probably something that not many great HEavys in their day were capable of.

They actully hit around the same power but Foreman did infact have more kayos. Foreman had about 68 kayos and Lennox had 32 kayos

We'll view the first Frazier fight as Foreman's prime. Foreman weighted in for that fight at 215lbs. We'll also use the first Holyfield fight for prime Lewis.

Yes Foreman is a big guy, but Lewis is still much bigger.

Foreman
Height: 6'3 1/2
Weight: 215
Reach: 82

Lewis
Hieght: 6'5
Weight 245lbs
Reach: 84

Lewis was extremaly strong watch him wrestle with guys like Vitali and Grant two guys who were 6'5+ and 240+

Yes, Lewis is a little taller and 20 to 30 lbs. heavier, depending on which fight George was entering, as his fight weight fluctuated by about 10 pounds, but in the first part of Lewis' career, he was just a little heavier than George, not very much, and in the later part of his career, he obviously put on body fat. He never had a six pack that I saw, whereas George almost looked like a bodybuilder when he entered the ring. As far as being heavier, having extra weight to lean on your opponents with, the Lewis that fought Golota and Grant would have the advantage, but George's brute strength would go a long way to neutralizing it inside, and as far as punching power is concerned, Lewis loses. Foreman didn't have a lot of one-punch KO's because he rarely landed a clean punch with all his **** on it, but even glancing punches would get his man in trouble if he had anything on them. And you can't compare Byrd with George, Byrd steps on the scale with his pants, shirt, shoes, leg warmers, headband, crash helmet. etc. just to make weight, Foreman just brought his afro lol
