    Ali is fast and elusive but i believe Lennox Lewis is too tall and heavy for Ali Foreman and Frazier

    Lennox could definitely match up with any heavyweight in history.

    lennox would have troubled any heavyweight from any era. but he had weaknesses. weak chin, lazy in the ring, arrogant. foreman would have KOed lennox. frazier would have KOed lennox as well(late rounds). ALI would have a lot trouble with lennox. could go either way.

    Lewis would give any HW trouble throughout history but, the fighters you listed would give Lewis' chin a whole bunch of trouble...

    Ali was speed personified, both feet and hands, and he was amazingly accurate...His chin was one of the best ever, not to mention his uncanny reflexes and counter punching...

    He KO'd Sonny Liston, he KO'd George Forleman, he KO'd Joe Frazier, yeah I'm serious he would give Lewis' chin trouble...

    I agree with the poster. I think Lewis would knock out Frazier within a few rounds, but would struggle and eventually beat Ali and Foreman, too. Yes, it's true: I said that.

    No heavyweight in history has an easy time with Lennox on his best night. Very few beat him.

    i take him as heavy favorite against Frazier.
    I've never trusted the Frazier hype, always saw him as a slightly bigger version of marciano with just 1 good punch...small, relatively slow with good chin.
    He wins a decision against Ali
    Foreman troubles him the most, possibly kayo him

    I don't understand people thinking Foreman gives Lennox the most trouble. Foreman was great back in the day not because of his skills or boxing ability, but because horse for horse he was bigger, stronger, and a harder puncher than everyone else. He would be at a significant physical disadvantage to Lewis in almost every category. I think Lewis would take out Foreman easily, and I think Frazier would give him some trouble because of his head movement, but at 5'11 205 pounds, he would get smoked too.

    Ali would give him the most trouble with his speed and reach, and wouldn't get knocked out by Lewis. I see Ali winning a comprehensive 12 round UD, but the other two I see Lewis starching pretty early.
