    If it comes to that I see Ali and Louis both beating Lennox Lewis. Lennox had his hands full with a past prime Holyfield. I see Holyfield beating him in their primes too. All three are about the same size and I see them beating Lewis different ways. Ali would win with his footwork and jabbing from the outside, just too fast. He'd win on points. Holyfield wins on workrate, stamina, and outhustling Lewis. Louis is accurate and strong, just an all around better puncher, and might knock Lewis out. If Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman could put Lewis on ***** street I wouldn't put it past a guy like Louis who put Buddy Baer, Abe Simon, and Primo Carnera's lights out.

    Are you seriously telling me that Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes are worse fighters than Lewis? I know everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and I respect that. But what you are saying is so wrought with ignorance of Ali's competition, it's flat out scary. Also who has the better losses if 80 % of the people Ali lost to were hall of famers, while Lewis lost to some bums. Totally disagree with you on this one.

    Ali by clear decision.
    Lewis could not handle the pace.

    People seem to believe Ali was some sort of high volume combination puncher. He wasn't.
