Ali took bigger shots than Lewis can give. Ali never stopped in prime. Ali better chin and faster. Ali by late TKO.
We talk about prime for prime, right? Hard to say. Out of 10 fights, I'd say Lewis takes the majority. Not much worse in the skills department, big size and power advantage, I believe he'd find the way to neutralize Ali's speed and output as he wouldn't be too wary of his power. If it's just one fight then I'd lean towards Ali as he was a master of ring IQ, coming up with something unexpected, putting the opponent off his game mentally. I think it would take Lewis more than one fight to figure Ali out.
And we know that how? Because Ali took Foremans shots, who 'punched through brick walls'? Stop with the BS. Lewis has enough power and accuracy to trouble any fighter in history, including Ali.
I just quickly voted Lewis after I read this. Lewis would knock the living **** out of Ali. Like the sound of that? :deal
its plausible to think that lewis wins....he has the size,reach and jab of his own to neutralize ali's jab and ali never went to the body enough......despite that ali's similarly long reach to Lewis, speed advantage, mental strength and flash would probably pull out a close decision....it could really go either way
