I'm addicted to what-ifs

I feel ya but the point I was tryin to make was that their physicality is comparable and that Foremans imposing size and reach are not really factors in reclation to Lewis.

I'll admit that Foreman was more of a Knockout merchant but if not only because he had power in both hands, then simply because he was more aggressive. But then i think Lennox Lewis would always be more effective and I'm not sure Foreman had ever been hit by a 245lbs powerpuncher .

but we DO know what happened when Lewis got tagged by a solid right hand by a somewhat decent hitter of about the same size as Foreman (Rahman)

We already established that Lewis would have to be on his A-game. Lewis was boxing badly and loosing that fight before he got KO'd

Lewis was ahead 39-37 on all 3 cards

Was he?!

Okay shame on me but I'm sure it was evident that he was boxing very poorly.

Didn't he have bad preparations or something

Yes Lewis was not fully prepared, he was blowing and was stupid to let his hands down. The two KO's at the prime of his career let him down as an ATG.
