I'm addicted to what-ifs

[Master]

he was great for the sport, and fantastic entertainment inside and outside the ring but massively overrated in terms of his ability

Is this in jest? I do really hope so.... otherwise the consequence is unthinkable for quite a few...maybe in hundreds of millions boxing aficionados worldwide stands accused for their consensus of massively over-rating an "entertainer", masquerading as one of the greatest boxers of all time, in Muhammad Ali!

yep i agree he was one of the greatest boxers of all time, and posibly up until his time in history was the best HW of all time

things move on tho, athletes get bigger and stronger and better

ali at his best wouldnt have beaten lewis at his best

the brazil football team of 1970 (considered the best of all time) wouldnt have beaten the brazil football team of 2010

If Holland were able to beat this years team so would the Brazil team of 1970, remember they were playing at altitude too. The team were amazing forget fitness they had that but also style and quality.

I think Lewis could out point Prime George but Vitali could not.

Old George would never have stepped in the ring with either fighter, he was a marketing gimmick by then.

About Foreman being too small for Lewis.

Prime Briggs around 6'4" 225-230 in the 90s managed to seriously rock Lewis in their fight and Oliver McCall who was around 6'2" and around 225-230 ko Lewis, not to mentioned Rahman who was also 6'2" and around 230 managed to ko Lewis also.

I guess they weren't too small eh? But Prime George at 6'3 and around 220-230 is considered to be too small without a chance. Laughable.

Briggs had serious hand speed you muppet

And regarding the KO's, well you saw what happend when Lewis brought his A game.
Thats what it pretty much all boils down to. What version of each guy we are talking about.

Both guys on their best nights? Lewis most of the time IMO.

Didn't in 1 of your 1st posts you said George Foreman was too small for Lewis? And your other countrymen also believed Lewis is too big for George physically. And that's what I'm addressing, that Foreman was not too small and that he can ko Lewis. People here in this thread are making out that prime Foreman was a small hw that couldn't compete physically with him.
