    Actually when you think of it, George really messed Holmes up from putting the cherry on top of his career, because that should have been probably his biggest victory had they ever fought.
    I agree, I am shocked that fight never happened...

      Exactly. Foreman retired in 77, Frazier in 76, Holmes bloomed in 78 when he fought Shavers and Norton. It is not a knock on him, but the division talent started waning when he was knocking on the door of greatness. Lennox was “luckier” in that respect.

        I honestly don't think Lennox was luckier, his biggest wins came against opponents who were well past their best(i.e. Tyson, Holyfield, etc). His biggest win would have been beating a prime Rid**** Bowe, however the fight never happened(kinda like Holmes and Foreman).

            **** off. It's not as though Lewis would have blown away, It'd have been close.
