    He was ko'd by LaMotta. You can argue it wasn't at middle, but my whole point is Satterfield wasn't some great fighter with "excellent skills" as Quarry tried to blow him up to be..The poor kid will exaggerate anything if he thinks it'll improve his standing in a debate whether its true or not.

    What's your p4p ? granted it's worse. SRR was the Vitali Klitschko of the welterweight division of his era . With his size advantage , it's primarily his losses and close fights that do count against him. His wins , especially before he got old , are simply the obvious .
    Lewis , Vitali , Bowe and Wlad , especially Wlad and Lewis , would have decisioned Ali . And if Wlad landed enough bombs , or if Lewis or Bowe roughed him inside enough , then who knows .. after all Ali showed his true worth in the Cooper and Doug Jones fights.

    The only one i would disagree on would be against Louis. I think Joe could give Lennox all types of problems with his combinations and power punches. But obviously i think Lewis could have great success against Joe too. Hard one to pick.
    I've said before that when focused Lewis would beat anyone in history. But i've never been confident of picking him over Ali and Louis.
    I have him beating Holmes with his extra size and firepower, but if Holmes boxed at his best all night i could see him winning a decision.
    The rest i don't see beating Lewis at all.

    I think Ali and Holyfield are the two hardest fights Lewis could have.

    Holyfield tough fight yeah, but i could never see him beating Lewis. Ali and Louis i could, but not with any certainty.
