The incredible thing that we don't talk about when it comes to George Foreman

[brocktonblockbust]

Lewıs always moved fast agaınst the bıg bombers---he wasted no tıme agaınst Grant, Golota, Morrıson, Brıggs. all bıg punchers. But ıf he treıd that wıth George ıt would have backfıred. YOu dont punch wıth a puncher, and though LOennox was ındeed a bıg puncher, I gıve George the sıgnıfıcant nod about beıng the BETTER of the 2 punchers. Foreman-Lewıs would not have gone 4 rounds. George Foreman KO 3 or KO 4. Baddest-ass puncher I ever seen and he ALWAYS got the job done. Except ın the Congo---but the ropes was loose

I was always a Foreman fan, but.... you gotta be realistic. As was very accurately stated in the opening post, George lacked some basics. It's not like he needed them against most of the opposition he faced back in the day. Norton went in looking like he was already defeated. Frazier was a little sparkplug of a heavyweight, and tried those leaping left hooks with George, leaving himself wide open for George's bombs. Ron Lyle was a fellow puncher just trading bombs with George until one of them would fall down.

Lennox was a big guy himself and huge puncher, but with better boxing skills. It's not inconceivable that Big George would've lost to Lewis. Wlad is another matter. Wlad's mental makeup is to make the fight as ugly as possible if he feels his chin is in danger. It's hard to tell what would've happened. It's not as if one punch from Wlad would've taken George out. While the opposite (George landing) would've been lights out for Wlad.
