    Ali took bigger shots than Lewis can give. Ali never stopped in prime. Ali better chin and faster. Ali by late TKO.

    We talk about prime for prime, right? Hard to say.

    Out of 10 fights, I'd say Lewis takes the majority. Not much worse in the skills department, big size and power advantage, I believe he'd find the way to neutralize Ali's speed and output as he wouldn't be too wary of his power.

    If it's just one fight then I'd lean towards Ali as he was a master of ring IQ, coming up with something unexpected, putting the opponent off his game mentally. I think it would take Lewis more than one fight to figure Ali out.

    Over 15 Ali schools him, 12 Ali wins a closer yet clear UD.

    Ali is faster than Lewis. He will use his speed to dominate the fight against Lennox.

    Lennox Lewis defeats any version of Ali specially the slow 70's version

    Didn't Ali told Lewis that he (Lewis) was the best ever?

    I think that's saying something

    And we know that how? Because Ali took Foremans shots, who 'punched through brick walls'?

    Stop with the BS. Lewis has enough power and accuracy to trouble any fighter in history, including Ali.

    I just quickly voted Lewis after I read this. Lewis would knock the living **** out of Ali. Like the sound of that? :deal

    its plausible to think that lewis wins....he has the size,reach and jab of his own to neutralize ali's jab and ali never went to the body enough......despite that ali's similarly long reach to Lewis, speed advantage, mental strength and flash would probably pull out a close decision....it could really go either way
