    George was smart. He knew better.
    It still renders the point worthless.

    Foreman said he wouldn't fight Lewis. He also said he wouldn't fight Frazier.

    The difference on size between them is irrelevant.

      Really?

      Because he dropped Frazier like a bad habit, you know, fought him (Prime), and didn't fight Lewis.

      As I said.

      He knew better.

        Well, he fought Joe Fraizer in the early 1970's.

        When should he have fought Lennox Lewis and what relevance would that have to this point?

        The point is Foreman saying "He'd never fight Lewis" means nothing. He said the same thing about Frazier once upon a time and damn near killed him.

            As opposed to Lennox who actually DID lose to scrubs like Rahman and McCall? :thinking9:

              He killed Frazier because he had 4 inches, who knows what kind of reach, and 20 pounds on him.

              In his prime.

              Go back to watching Moorer highlights.

              The "point" is, Lewis would have beat Big George to a mess.

              And he knew it.

              "The weight and height is irrelevant."

              Riiiiiiiighhhht...

                I seriously doubt Lennox survives past four rounds against a prime Foreman. Seriously dude, you need to release that hammerlock you've got on Lennox's nuts as you're seriously jeopardizing his ability to produce children.

                    Sorry, but while Lennox IS a great fighter he's nowhere near GOAT status at Heavyweight. Sure he's better than the Klits but they aren't bucking for GOAT status either.

                      Old balls is mad because Foreman knew he couldn't beat Lewis.

                      Hey, don't let me tell it. Let Foreman say it for himself.
