FFS Ali beat Bugnur as he pleased,as with some other of his opponents he carried him. He was never at any time going flat out against Bugner he basically gave rounds away and did enough.
In this thread, people will match an older Ali against prime Lennox, and Ali will still win the poll, lmfao.
Yes, they gave Ali trouble, after a 3 year layoff. Ali wasnt as good 2nd time around, but he'd still have hammered Lewis. Id be far more interested to see Frazier v Lewis, to see if Lewis jab and uppercuts could keep Joe off, or would Fraziers intensity prove too much. Lewis struggled badly(he lost IMO) with Ray Mercer. My point, and 100% relevant, is that when Lewis didnt dictate with his jab, he struggled, and he'd never in 100 fights establish it v Ali.
Does it really make a difference?:think They'd both beat the brothers and that's what really matters.:grouphug
Impossible to pick for me, but a great match-up. Some people are saying that Lewis was great and Ali was the greatest like there's a huge difference between them. Both are top 5 ATG's and Ali has the superior resume, but Lewis has a great skillset combined with his size and athleticism (when prime) that Ali never faced before, and Lewis never faced someone with Ali's skills, speed and capabilities. Both were also prone to off-nights and laziness and it depends which version of each turns up. . .
You say most don't know **** followed by Ali would make Lewis look like an amature? No, it's YOU who obviously doesn't know **** if you really think that.
How about the fact he's an ATG with the added bonus of size? Or maybe you're just a sheep who agrees with ******s eh?
This is the agenda of all these threads to big up Lewis on the one hand as he battered Vitali, although lost in Klitworld. Then discredit his victory over Vitali on another thread. somehow meaning Vitali is better than Lewis by proxy and therefore the GOAT. This somehow equates to Vitali>Lennox>Ali>Every other ATG. I don't make up the rules but there is a bunch of clowns on here with there Neo Nazi agenda, these people just ruin this site and turn it into a joke. They are just spamming the **** out of ESB. The vast majority of these threads have an underlying agenda which is about race and to big up the Klit's I think half of them are the same person with a severe mental problem. They can troll all they like because it doesn't change reality Lennox>>>>>>>>>>Vitali.
Lewis beating Ali certainly isn't out of the realm of possibilities. I'm old enough to have watched both and Ali was beatable. Norton gave him fits for example, and Frazier beat him in the fight of the century. So a lewis win is certainly possibile.
Ali also got a few gifts against jimmy young and norton. Lewis also didn't get beaten decisively on decisions like frazier and spinks. Even if Ali wasn't prime in the spinks fight Lewis kept beating people when he was out of his prime and was never outboxed over the full 12 rounds Just too let you know I actually tend to favour Ali by decision before you suggest I'm a Lewis nut hugger as it probably appears to how I'm coming across. I actually listen to other people's opinions and consider them when i make posts rather than be an ignorant narrow minded person
what about Lewis's KO losses? maybe he didn't get beat decisively in decisions but he got knocked out by inferior, inconsistent oppoisiton like rahman and mccall.
