ing and the most consistent winner of his era. But I agree with an earlier<br />
post that his losses---both WHO he lost to and HOW he lost, prevent him from<br />
joining the class of all-time greats like Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes,<br />
Marciano, Joe Louis, etc. But because of how long he's been on top, and the<br />
fact that he's beaten the guys they've put in front of him, I look at his<br />
overall career and rank him higher than Tyson. Look, the world is full of<br />
people who COULD HAVE been great---but Tyson's assorted problems and lack of<br />
control and good management stopped him from achieving what he should have. He<br />
COULD HAVE beaten Lewis when he was younger, but through his own doing, we'll<br />
never know. |<br />

incredible talent who has a so-so chin. Lewis has had more talent than any man<br />
he has ever fought. He is the most dominant heavy since 1995 easily. He would<br />
have been a favorite over Muhammad Ali 1970's in my opinion. <strong>The</strong> only guys that<br />
would beat Lewis in history were sluggers, no boxer would have except for 1960's<br />
Ali and that would have been a close fight. It's all about styles. Foreman<br />
would have knocked him out, Frazier 50-50 fight. Lewis would have beaten<br />
Holmes. Unless you had serious one punch knockout power you didn't beat Lewis.<br />
We have watched a great fighter, but it seems that not a lot of people realize<br />
it sometimes.....I ain't from England, but Cheers to Lewis|<br />

I think it would have been wonderful had Holyfield quit after the second Tyson<br />
fight. I fear he is this generations Ali and I hope I am 100% wrong on that.|<br />
|7/25/03 02:22:21 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|Read a funny story on George: He was<br />
in Memphis for the Lewis-Tyson fight and was walking down the street where he<br />
saw a class of small schoolchildren. He stopped and said hello and shook hands<br />
being the amiable guy that he is. <strong>The</strong> teacher announced to his class that Mr<br />
Foreman is the 'Former Olympic Champion, Former Heavyweight Champion and won the<br />
title back at the age of 46 - he is the oldest champion there ever was'.Pushing<br />
her hand in the air furiously a small girl replied ' No he ain't he's the cook<br />
on TV!'. That is the reason George wants to return, he wants to be remembered as<br />
a great champion not as a grill salesman ! |<br />

George is coming back when i see it..Hes a real shrewd fellow and knows the<br />
value of keeping his name in the lights ( by claiming hes coming back) and he<br />
knows the dangers of getting hit in the head.|<br />

Joe K's post: I have to disagree with the Lewis-Holmes opinion. Taking these<br />
two guys on their best nights, I believe Holmes would handle Lewis rather<br />
easily. Larry Holmes had a good defense, one of the best left jabs ever and<br />
decent power stats. He wasn't a one-punch KO artist, but ask Mike Weaver about<br />
the damage one Holmes uppercut could do. I think Holmes would defeat Lewis<br />
either by unamimous decision or possibly later round TKO. Lewis is a good<br />
technician---and it's true that Holmes handled sluggers more frequently than<br />
boxers---but watching the great Holmes wins: Shavers I and II, Norton, Cooney,<br />
Jones, etc., I have to believe he would dispatch of Lewis. |<br />
|7/29/03 01:31:51 AM|Ed |Cicero N Y||mooseygoop@aol.com||||10|Angelo Good<br />
points but my money would be on Lewis..His size and skills would be too much for<br />
Larry in my opinion, but most of all his power. Lewis has blasted out some<br />
pretty decent fighters very quickly. <strong>The</strong> fact that Tyson sidestepped him a few<br />
years ago and that Riddick Bowe woundn't fight him ( remember Lennox calling<br />
Bowe "Chicken Bowe", trying to goad him into fighting him, but Bowe's manager<br />
threw away that version of the title belt rather than fighting Lennox)indicates
