    He would beat everyone except for Ali and Liston.

    The question was about him fighting every champ before his prime.
    Why on Earth would you mention Holmes, Lewis and Fury ?!?? They came after him.

    Foreman beats the living daylight out of Louis.
    Nobody stands a chance apart from Ali and Liston, who beat him.

    Louis was dropped by far weaker men than Foreman, he stands no chance whatsoever.

    This is against champs that came before him, not after.
    Cause if it's also against those that came after, then he also loses to Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, the Klitschkos, Holyfield, Fury, Holmes.

    Johnson peaked against Jeffries at 208 lbs, which is only 8 lbs than Ali in Foreman fight. How can you say that Ali was stronger than Johnson?

    I've got Lewis and Fury in there.

    I forgot Vitali as a possible...I will edit him in.

    I don't think any of the others belong.

    Who might those "weaker men" be ?
    Ali and Young dropped him when he was completely exhausted, so they don't count. Plus, they were probably stronger than Louis (not punching wise).
