    His chin would've have great difficulty getting past Shavers and Foreman!

    At least he wasn't knocked out like your hero Wlad was lol. Lennox was fine fighter. But he would not have dominated in the 70's as long as Ali was fighting. Where Ali lost, he went the distance. When lennox lost, he was ktfo.

    How many times has that happened to Foreman in his career? Second, if you could hit lennox on the button, couldnt you take him out. That's rhetorical:lol:

    I agree Lewis was a very good boxer but he was not too difficult to hit and his chin was suspect with his KO losses to b level fighters. I could see Foreman catching him with big punches early and KOing him before George lost his stamina.

    It looks like removing Ali from the picture is changing the subject.

    No. But you are you blind? Or perhaps you just don't want to see?

    Have a look a list of top fighters assembled by anyone with any boxing smarts and you'll see Ali right near the top. Perhaps you are right and they are all wrong. But I think it's the other way around mate.

    Which comment is useless? If that was so, what's the use of replying?

    How many times was Foreman knocked down?

    Foreman won 40 fights without a defeat until he met Ali in Zaire. I think Ali was very probably the first to knock George off his feet. When he lost to Jimmy Young a few years later he went down, but that may well be it for George.

    That's about where I stand on it as well. I'm pretty sure Lewis would find away to beat Frazier, as Lewis is a stylistic nightmare for him, but I don't know about Ali, Holmes and Foreman. The one thing Lewis has over Foreman is straighter punches and the ability to box on the outside, those could be deciding differences. Against Ali and Holmes, it's basically speed against power.
