    Everybody praises Ali and I admit Ali is great but I believe Lewis is too big and was not a slugger like all the rest of Ali opponents he can box and has a great jab. People say he would've did the rope a dope like he did Foreman and I say he wouldve went to sleep playing with Lewis. Lewis would have beat Forman, Frazier, Norton, and Ali but Larry Holmes would have been a tough fight

    A prime Ali would run rings around Lewis.
    Foreman has a huge punchers chance with Lewis, so does Frazier.
    Holmes beats him.

    I think he would've done good. wouldn't say dominate though. Back in the day people wouldn't bull**** and wait do be jabbed to death by a bigger man.

    Lewis has one bad quality that will cost him a fight against Ali. His balance. Ali would've exploited that with great success. Other than Ali I would pick Lewis against any other HW.

    I think Lewis beats Ali because he's too big can box has a great jab to keep Ali at bay

    He would be very competetive. One of the best in the division, but not clearly the best.

    Lennox Lewis would have thrashed about the head, and shoulders by the journeymen of Ali's era. Many of the non-competitive fights that Ali was involved would have been competitive fights for Lewis.

    Europeans are so ungrateful for what the USA has given them. Ungrateful *******s!

    Lewis would be second best. Ali would use his movement to disrupt Lewis's tempo, not allowing him to get set to punch. Ali's right hand would also land frequently and more so than Lewis's.

    Lewis beats Foreman and Frazier

    Holmes beats Lewis
