Mike Tyson.

Rocky Marciano.

He beat HW champ Jersey Joe Walcott, LHW champ Archie Moore, former HW and LHW champ Ezzard Charles (who was 33 years old at the time), and other highly-ranked HWs like Joe Louis (coming off an 8-fight winning streak), Rex Layne, Roland LaStarza and Harry "Kid" Matthews.

Jack Johnson.

To do what he did during the height of the Jim Crow era. And to live the lifestyle he did!

Ali's a close second because of how he lived his life; i.e., refusing to go to Vietnam and his religious views/stances.

I agree 100% Jack Johnson was the mothafcukin man.

I liked Lewis a lot. But Tyson was the most fun to watch!

His name has only three letters. The opportunity to best his accomplishments will not likely occur again as the two eras he dominated will never be matched in our lifetimes. Joe Louis is the only other competition in this conversation.

The slaughter you gave me last week? You mean the one where you didn't reply back to me, because you'd got no comeback? That slaughter? Ha!

Rocky Marciano. Prime for prime I'd pick him against anyone.

it depends on what your excuse are for Ali's losses. lets hear them.

i've already said that Ali looked good against slow fighters, but someone who could move either beat him or nearly beat him. Ali took some beatings between those ropes. they weren't flukes or anything like that. his boxing ability gets overrated like crazy on here. it wouldn't actually surprise me if they hadn't watched the vast majority of his fights. i did his career not too long ago and i forgot how boring and overrated he was to be honest. those beatings and losses don't count against Ali though do they? they were by inferior fighters not fit to lick the jock strap of Lennox.

under the circumstances that Lewis was under? there's a huge chance that Ali gets knocked out by that shot. there isn't another Heavy i can think of that would be standing after that.
Holyfield had a great chin but he got taken out by a short right hand by Bowe in the 3rd fight. does that mean that he's got a chin problem? no it doesn't. it wasn't anywhere near to being as big as the one that Lewis got caught by. so these KO's he suffered are people talking rubbish. Louis got beaten up and taken out by a washed up Schmelling. does this go against Louis on this site though? no it doesn't. Louis nearly got taken out by the bum that was Toney Galento for crying out loud. he was knocked down and hurt badly, one more good shot and he's toast. Lennox wouldn't have looked past someone with Louis' reputation. he wouldn't have let him get close at all. 2 rounds if Joe is lucky, it would be a complete miss-match. so, if it affects the legacy of Lewis, it has to affect theirs as well. lucky shots against an unprepared Lewis, whereas Louis took some beatings AND got KO'd. Ali took that many beatings it's hard to keep up. and this was done by fighters with little skill.

Lennox is far too good for Ali, Foreman or any other Heavy you care to mention. his boxing ability is second to none. :deal

you talk like the come back for Foreman actually had more legs than what actually happened. he was getting beaten by a Glass jawed fighter known stamina issues. when he ran out of steam, George took advantage. a few minutes in time, the rest was spent getting beat. by everybody. right time, right place, right fighter. against any other and George doesn't get any sort of belt back. that's the truth. very good win, but nothing more.

yeah, but Hopkins was an ATG before AND after the Joe fight. Foreman can't be called any sort of genuine ATG, his resume is far too thin. sorry.

are you saying that sitting back against a fighter with no skill and letting him punch himself out, letting him do all the work, would prepare him to fight a highly skilled Heavy like Lewis????? that's the craziest **** i've ever heard. yeah, because Lewis and Foreman are so alike aren't they? :nut

what would Lewis do in a fight with Ali that is Foreman like? i really need to read this. :think

we'll do resumes between Lewis and Ali a bit down the line to compare, but i've got some other posts to make. :deal

You're actually preaching to the converted here regarding Lewis,I'm a big fan I rate him extremely highly.
However your lack of knowledge and cluelessness regarding Ali isn't hidden in your posts despite them making "War & Peace" appear to be like a short story.
Despite all your long winded rantings you are clueless and really need to study the subject matter more closely,that's if you can come out from in the shadow of Lennox's nuts for long enough.
At the end of the day you're just another bias nuthugger.

George Foreman because of his longevity. He won in completely different eras, a very rare feat.

Those 2 cut my top 50 and top 100 list respectively. They are ony great in a subjective sense. Ali would be beat by nearly half of Lennox's opponents, Louis by most of them. Similar story with Wlad.

Wlad has the greatest record of all time in terms of total fights and championship wins because almost none of his opponents are bums and they are all real HW's. Lewis had less fights but the same amount of quality opponents.

Ali and Louis records are half or even mostly cruiser opponents and are absolutely riddled with bums. Louis vs Galento is proof how limited Louis is, and he got knocked out of the ring by Baer, and beaten by 193lb Schmelling! Wlad or Lennox would simply knock such opponents straight out.

Ali struggled with and had the greatest difficulties against such tomato cans as Frazier, Norton and Spinks- opponents which Lennox or Wladimir would simply knock out.

They are nothing compared to Wlad or Lennox. Take a look at them! Watch the fights and jump on the winners band wagon!
