Prime Foreman vs Prime Lewis

[AintGottaClue]

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.

yes im a klitschko fan...... he aint my hero but


I loves big george he's my favortie boxer then comes hagler, so i hate when lewis-foreman threads come up,

Foreman would win. IMO Lewis just came around when there weren't many "great" heavyweights. He's vastly overated. Foreman would take LL out in about 5 rounds IMO.

hmm

Jimmy Young put Foreman on ***** street fifty times......and Lewis hit fifty times harder than Young.

1) Not even close to 50 times.

2) Like I said, after Ali, Foreman was a lost fighter. This is not the Foreman we are talking about.

The other scenario that I could easily envision is a Lewis vs Golota blowout. Take Golota, substitute Foreman, and get the same result. It's actually not hard to imagine... ...even with a Foreman circa Frazier.

**** that Lewis..

I still say Lewis puts on a boxing clinic on Foreman and KOs him in the first half of the fight.

WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON SON?!

WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON SON?!

He meant

**** that. Lewis.

just left out the proper punctuation

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

Ron Lyle was a hell of alot faster than Lewis too.
Not to mention Foreman was rusty.
You think Lewis would get up if George KD'd him?
When has he ever lol

I don't think it was Foreman who made Ali unable to use his boxing abilities as much as it was Ali who had a strategy of taking the best Foreman had to offer while jabbing the life out of him to eventually finish him.

Let's not forget the Foreman was dropped by fighters who didn't have nearly as much power Lewis has.

Ali boxed for the first round, and didn't think he could keep it up. He said George was alot faster than he looked, and cut the ring off very well. Bottom line, George looks alot less clumbsy and slow when you're in front of him lol

George Foreman
Height 6-3
Weight 217 3/4
Reach 82
Chest/Norm. 42
Chest/Exp. 44 1/2
Waist 34
Biceps 15
Neck 17

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

There's no way all of those stats are correct.
A man George's size would not have 15" biceps, mine are bigger than that!
Keep in mind that George fought as heavy as 230 even when he was young, and he was 6'3 1/2, if you watch the rumble in the jungle, when they are recieving their instructions, George is taller. So we're talking about a weight advantage that could be as little as 15 pounds depending on George, and a 2 inch reach advantage.

WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON SON?!

I was saying **** that to the previous responses, because people were acting like Foreman would destroy Lewis.

I guess I should have put, "**** That. I pick Lewis."
