I'm addicted to what-ifs

[generalbulldog]

I would seriously give even a young George a good to decent shot at beating any version of Lewis. Why you ask? Foreman is one of the hardest hitting HWs ever, hell it could be argued that he may be the hardest hitting HW of all time. When you lift a 215 pound Frazier off the canvas with 1 of your uppercuts, that's a hell a lot of power and strength. Lewis too iffy of a chin. Sure young George was reckless, but if he connected it would be lights out on Lewis, best believe that.

Here's another what if concerning Foreman. What if the prime Foreman had the boxing smarts and maturity of the old Foreman? That would be 1 hell of a fighter.

How about a prime Vitali's chances vs both versions of Big George?

Can't believe so many people are taking and old version of George to beat vitali...I mean the old george that got beat by schulz but got a gift, the one getting his ass boxed off by moorer before the knockout shot. I can't see an old george beating a prime vitali, vitali is quicker, and he's not going to get caught and knocked out with one shot like moorer did. As for a young george against a prime vitali who the hell knows, honestly think it could go either way. Prime lewis mostly likely takes both versions, but his chin is dentable and george does pack a punch.

Lewis took hits from Tua fine, and Foreman was also a relatively plodding fighter, how would he have teld with Lennox's jab? Also Lewis was able to land a shot as hard as anyone, and he could have knocked young FOreman out cold.

None of those shots from Tua landed flush, in fact most missed. All I know is McCall and Rahman ko Lewis and I'm willing to bet that Foreman hits much harder than those guys.
And then your other excuse why Lewis got ko was that he hardly train that's why he got ko. Tyson hardly train at all against Douglass and he took massive damage from that fight taking flush shots. Hell even a shot/past his prime Tyson still took massive flush shots from Lewis before going down. Lewis chin at best was average and it isn't granite as you make it out to be. And as I said before, if Prime Foreman connects it's nighty night for Lewis.

Lewis did not lose to fighters that he respected, I think he would beat George because Lewis would not allow himself to be complacent as he could not afford to take chances against George. Lewis could even pull a Ruddock like victory because George was crude at times.

I have no issues that a focused Lewis would have a good chance against Foreman. And yes... Foreman WAS crude and rudimentary. What I do have a problem with is the argument about Lewis having a granite chin. Tua did NOT test it, and a couple of run-of-the-mill fighters got 1-punch KO's against him. It's OK to be a fan, but keep it realistic.

Agreed although Lewis did takes bombs from Mercer.

Lewis gets a bad rap for chin I believe. I take Holyfields left hook over anything McCall could put on. He was caught clean as are many but Tyson,Morrison (both near end yeh),Tua,Ruddock all had legit bricks and Lewis delt. Also faced the same two who sparked him and even though McCall was a sobbing schoolgirl Lewis was not moved by either guy again.

Oh, Lewis could take a punch. After all, he did fight Tyson and Vitali, two very hard punchers in their time. But using the Tua fight as an argument is ridiculous. Had Tua reached him with his vaunted left hooks, Lewis would've gone down. Also, Lewis's chin was never his best attribute. His best attributes were his boxing ability (when he was focused) and his own power. If the focused Lewis had faced Foreman, he would've probably won with these skills. But he'd have to stay away from Foreman's power shots, 'cause I could certainly see Foreman being able to stun or drop Lewis.
