Big George in his prime was Little George by today's standards.

I remember when Bruno was winning every round against Lewis before Lewis pulled out a lucky punch. And Bruno is certainly no Prime Foreman

I remember when Ron Lyle had Big George down 3 times in the same round before the bell saved him. And Lyle is certainly no prime Lewis

And that was certainly not the undefeated Foreman who beat the living **** out of Frazier (who beat Ali three times) and Norton (who beat Ali three times) in two rounds apiece.

[Easy-E]

Who wins?

I am picking Big George on this...

foreman in dominating fashion

god these peopel who ride lewis's jock are so ****ign irratating, o lewis is sooo much bigger then george, o he would just jab jab jab him all night long, o he will put on a clinc and school george and KO him in 6, get the **** outta here with that ****, foreman > Lewis at all points and KO's him 100 out of 100, lennox lewis and his fans make me sick

I know.
Lewis is bigger than him in just about everything.

While the talent level of the heavyweights back then were superior to that of heavyweights nowadays, their size would give them all types of problems in todays division.

Don't believe me? What's the main reason some people underrate Toney as a heavyweight?


BECAUSE HE'S UNDERSIZED!

There are alot more Foreman supporters than there are Lewis supporters. You know I'm far from a Lewis fan. I'm a freaking Tyson fan.

Of course you're a Klitschko nuthugger, so of course you hate Lewis. He stopped your hero.

[Bozo_no no]

Frazier (who beat Ali three times) and Norton

Wow, I see your idiocy knows no bounds...

[Boxclever]

Maybe I'm biased but I have to go for George.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Problem is, that was a totally different Foreman. He was not in his prime, not the same person at all once he lost to Ali and everyone knows this.

As for the size...Foreman's only lacking vs Lewis in weight. Everything else is pretty close to equal, and even then, when do BS stats like ankle size and bicep size ensure victory?

Ali was a better boxer than Lewis but Foreman made him unable to use his boxing skills. Ali knew his only chance was to let Foreman beat on him. Lewis would not be able to pull that trick.

Lewis was not out of shape for Mercer or McCall and he lost both (shoulda lost to Mercer).

Basically, it comes down to this. Lewis will get hit at some point, and therefore will get hurt at some point. Once this happens, the fight will be over. Foreman was a great finisher and Lewis would say bye bye. Lewis is not good enough to avoid Foreman's power all night, and Foreman has equal bodily strength to Lewis, if not better.
