    Does fat, retiring Lewis still have enough to beat the 42-year old, fat Foreman that fought Holyfield? I think in my mind he's still the favorite.

    Fat Foreman went 12 hellacious rounds with Holy and actually finished the fresher of the two. Fat Lennox couldn't even get past 5 rounds vs. Rahman.

    I think Foreman wins by mid- or late-round stoppage.

    People tend to lump them together in their minds as 'old foreman' but I think he was a different animal between ~88-91 than say 94-97.... the version who fought holyfield has every chance. Lewis invariably got pulled into a fire fight when a guy could match his jab and he probably ain't winning this one, not in that condition. Foreman KO 7.

    Yeah, the Foreman who slaughtered Cooney would beat the fuck out of a fat, untrained Lewis.

    Agreed, the Holy fight likely took something out of him.
