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.
