kinda how i saw it...

Foreman gets outboxed.

Lewis was at his best against big punchers, as long as he's on george wont get near him, and if he does he'll have as much success as tua's punches had.

There is no such thing as a prime Lennox Lewis, just like there is no such thing as a prime bernard hopkins. With that said I guess your refering to the early 2k version and against a prime foreman this is how I see it playing out.

Lennox weakness is pressure and I cant see Foreman putting alot on him to land those big punches. This also is the one fight in which I think a HW can match Foreman in overall strength. I see it coming down to Lennox being the better boxer and if he can survive Foremans early rush, I see him picking him apart late and winning via UD.

I know Lennox chin is suspect but that was due to him having mental lapses and leaving himself open. Against dangerous punchers and guy he knew where real threats, he was very cautious and rarely got hit with anything big. I also think Foreman is kinda slow (but has ridulous power) so Lennox will be able to outbox him and keep him at bay with his jab.

Foreman is a great inside fighter, but that is because he was so much stronger than his peers and could push you off with ease and either pick you off from a distance or catch you coming in. I can't see that with lennox because even though I hate the guy, he is strong himself and good at controlling distance himself.

Except Foreman isn't 5'9". I can envision Lennox pumping the jab and keeping George at bay and also George putting him to sleep. Good match up, with George eventually catching up to him edging it out. But Lennox wins the rematch.

Thats the thing. lennox did have a suspect chin, but he was real cautious and never got caught with b.s. against great fighter or guys he actually respected. It was only against guys like Rahman etc, when he didn't take them serious and had mental lapses, that he was caught and knocked out. No way in hell does he do that to Foreman and I see him surviving the early on slaught and picking him off late.

One thing I know won't happen...Foreman aint winning a decision and Lennox aint knocking George out...

Lennox could win if he outboxes Big George and whenever they get close he ties him up so George can't get off...easier said than done though

Tua has comparible power though, and he did land flush on lewis.

what im saying is, unless you get a fluke, lewis doesnt have a glass chin like people think.

Lewis wins a decision, few fighters are capiable of beating a switched on version of Lewis, barring a lucky punch Foreman isn't capiable of doing it either.
