Who beats Ali? No hedging your bets, who do YOU pick to straight up beat him?

Nobody!

The very best might take a single match in a series of three from him - maybe?

 

2 and 3.

Lewis is 1 obviously.

 

Please..... tell me you are joking. All time what???

 

see how many views this thread has. it's not for jokers like rakman and mccall (BTW conteh is taking the **** flamengo). it's for Ali :good

 

He certainly sounds like it.

 

peak ali's jab in action

ali v patterson 1965- round 2 - no heavies move this fast nowadays (Ali makes Patterson look slow)

check out the whole of round 5 v folley - just got a bit of the round here

Yep. He is the man. Clay was something else. Boxed like a middleweight, built like a welterweight, legs of a lightweight, feet like Astaire and the timing of a Rolex watch. Makes Lewis seem incompetant from where I stand.

The big, slow moving, cumbersome, glass jawed, overrated, flat footed pom wouldnt have a shot at Clay..... Ever.

 

Poorest paragraph of the ESB year contender.

 

He's gonna have some awards before the week's out. There'll be no room on his mantlepiece. :yep

 

Hard to disagree wise one

 

Have you seen Lewis fight? I'm not sure you have based on your views above. Slow moving? huh. Get outta here. And apart from two knockout losses his chin was solid, sometimes granite. Have you seen the Mercer fight? Lewis' chin let him down on two ocassions, but outwith those KO's his chin was rather solid.

 

That's the problem, it's getting too silly. Lewis was quick, certainly a fighter "built like a Welterwight" isn't someone I'd fancy bettng my money on. Fortunately, for Ali he was a bit bigger than that. As everyone knows, Lewis had a good jab, very strong, great power, he's a nightmare task for any heavyweight 'ever' on his day. This is no big indecisive lummox like Terrell. He has a decent shout of winning.

 

Don't forget the legs of a lightweight tho

 

I can just picture a half Hilmer Kenty/Johnny Bumphus hybrid smashing Lewis into the ground.

 

Damn, i was more picturing Fred Astaire shoes, Jimmy Paul's legs and Brelands upper body.

Watch out Lummox, you big weak sloth pom you



I'm still not sure what the "Pom" part of his pearl had to do with anything but i do have my suspicians from previous other thread comments

The real funny thing is the guy calling Lewis glass jawed told us Tony Mundine senior's legendary glass jaw was a fallacy painted by wankers of the press. Here was his review of some ko's, tho he seemed to forget quite a few others

Not much love for Lennox really, comparatively speaking
