    I DONT CARE ABOUT HIS BULL**** POLITICS OR HIS STANCE ON WAR. I'm talking boxing, he(PAC) fought naturally far bigger men than himself, something Ali had to deal with maybe once in Foreman his whole career. Keep trying to twist it you crybully tit wank

    Hard for me to consider Greb and Langford as I can't gage them with my own eyes.
    I understand the history, just a difficult leap for me to make.

    Serious problems? He beat the **** out of Cooper twice. enry got lucky with a nonchalant Ali then proceeded to get his ass whipped. Watch the fights please. My point is that you wrote it's a forgone conclusion that Lennox would have smashed George within 5, which is crazy. Where I'm certain Lewis is better than Foreman, a C+ lister heavyweight in Rahman blasted Lennox out which means the someone like George has a chance to do it as well. That's my point.

    You think Lewis would've been as layed back v George ??? He would've been on it imo, he would've known the threat.... Ali had problems with coopers jab not just the left hook. It happened through out his career, he could be out jabbed or matched at least by fighters not really regarded for all time great jabs like Ali...Norton flat out bullied Ali behind the jab at times

    Get your list out rhino. I'm betting its around 90% that Ali was bigger than his opponents. Its not my opinion its facts that could be quite easily proven. There are records bruv !

    There was no luck in catching Ali with a left hook. Cooper threw it to land and it did...Facts. Ali was prone to it from start to finish

    Lewis would have been very cautious v George because Lennox knows George had the power to blast him out. And most certainly George had the power to blast Lennox out. As far as Ali and Norton is concerned, Ali was already past his best as was getting hit more and more frequently especially after the exile. Hmmmm, enry outhooked and outjabbed Ali, but Ali still managed to kick his ass twice. I must have missed something. As far as Lennox is concerned, slower and shorter reach and height than Ali Mercer outjabbed close to prime Lewis all night long, and Ali couldnt?

    Then why didn't he land another one like that? Why did Ali beat him up in that one and the next one?

    Moorer had never been stopped (or even defeated) before.
