-> Lennox Lewis 1997 vs Muhammad Ali 1967

Ali from '67 beats just about every heavyweight from any era. Handspeed, jab, power, brains, guts, youth, confidence, everything man. He was unbeatable, and thats why they had to beat him in court.

 

Yeah, only 187lbs Cooper almost sparked him into coma with a left hook.

 

:rofl

 

The difference (one of many) between and Ali and Lewis is that Ali "almost" got sparked by a mediocre fighter. Lewis actually did. Twice.

Ali KO.

 

Young Ali was way too fast for Lennox Lewis. Also, Lewis's jab is consistently overrated. It was good. But he was badly outjabbed when he fought Ray Mercer. Ray Mercer! Ali would jab him to death and coast to a lopsided decision.

 

:roll:

Ali UD.

Still, ain't nobody unbeatable, NOBODY.

 

Lennox via KO. Henry Cooper had Ali's eyes going round like a fruit machine:nut

 

and mccall and rahman stopped lewis with one right hand.
every fighter has their moments.
the difference is Ali came back to stop cooper on cuts and defeat him in a rematch.
it's a stupid comparison when you realize this is a green cassius clay who was carrying cooper to make sure he makes his prediction come true.

 

Oh so its a green Clay who was carrying Cooper. But we will leave out the fact that Lennox stopped both McCall and Rahman :happy

 

This the Lennox Lewis who got dropped by Henry Akinwande?

Ali KO 1

 

Bringing up Cooper is stupid. Watch Ali prior to that knockdown - he half looks like he can't be ****ed and left his chin out to dry, waiting on a fifth round stoppage (which he got). Prime Ali is Liston 1 & 2, Patterson, Williams, Terrell and Foley.

In these fights Ali was a precision boxer who you could barely find and he also had a very sharp offence. Ali beats Lewis on points over 12 or 15.

 

I dont know if Ali could deal with the lewis's jab or size tough one to call

 

Er no you must have a different Lennox. Whats Chuck Wepner upto? :tong

 

Do yourself a favor and rewatch the Lewis vs. Ray Mercer fight. Lennox was outjabbed all night by a shorter, smaller fighter with a slower jab. No way would Lewis outjab Ali. His jab is consistently overrated.
