    frazier half kills lewis if they ever fought

    everybody looks to the foreman fight when it come to big guys fighting frazier

    foreman was a walk forward wrecking machine...lewis is not

    lewis isnt agressive enough , he takes his time looing for opening especially vs dangerous fighters.

    frazier after 4-5 rounds begins to tire the bigger man , there is just no way lewis keeps up with fraziers pace

    big left hook ends the fight 10-12 round

    im a brit

    ali beat lewis by late ko

    frazier see above

    lewis hasnt the chin vs foreman to survive

    holmes knocks out lewis late

    Are you senile?
    An old fat Lewis took Vitali's best for 6 rounds and your saying a prime Lewis couldn't take Floyd Patterson GTFO :hi:

    Dominant, certainly not. Competitive with the very best, yes.
    I think we would count Lennox among the very best then, Ali, Frazier and Foreman, and he would have beaten the likes of Norton, Shavers, Young...
    But against Ali, Foreman and Frazier, he would have won some and lost some. I think a 1964-1967 prime Ali would beat him for sure.

    How in the hell can Ali be seen so highly by so many? - because he was that good.

    A couple of simple suggestions for you - watch his fights and read what the experts have to say about the man.

    The only difference between British nuthuggers and 70's nuthuggers is the Brits are proven wrong time and time again, and the 70's lovers know their safe...But I take comfort in knowing that most of the delusional 70's fans were backing Haye to annihilate Wladimir in one round,:D and calling David a "throw back to their great 70's heros.............

    H2H Lennox is a nightmare for those guys and i would put him a slight favourite to favourite against all of them.

    Whos the best qualified to say for sure? maybe foreman who fought all those guys and fought in the 90s?

    According to foreman lennox is the best heavyweight of all time.

    Got full fights on disc and have watched them many times over. You sound like just another nobody trying to change history mate.

    Ali and Holmes could beat Lewis but Frazier and Foreman would lose in my opinion.

    I hate to go against the grain but I think Lewis would have a better chance against the prime Cleveland Williams version of Ali than the early 1970s version. The 70s Ali was slower but more sturdy.

    If Lewis had lived and fought in Alis era, today it would be called the Era of Lewis.

    Lewis would've been a short work for Foreman and Holmes would've beaten him silly!

    What nonsense. Foreman never defeated anyone in Lewis' league and never looked like doing so.
