Opinion: Greatest Head to Head Heavyweight ATG.

The same Lewis who got his lights put out by 2 journeymen, who struggled with Bruno and Mercer, and a past it Holyfield, is going to beat every HW out there?

Hmmm I don't think so.

 

Amsterdam, with all due respect, I was at that fight (Lewis vs Tua). Lewis made Tua look like an oaf. Lewis completely outboxed Tua, making him miss and causing him to be constantly off balance. Lewis handled him easily. It was a boring fight to watch without much real action, but it was evident that Lewis was in a completely different league as far as boxing ability/ring movement went. I was pulling for Tua, but I saw nothing at that fight that made me think he even belonged in the same ring as Lewis.

 

lol people crazy trying to use the tua fight Lewis fought a complete shut out against one of the biggest punchers ever!
And though Lewis' reflexes had visibly slowed by this time he proved his chin by taking the best tua had to offer.

 

Tua weighed 475 pounds when he fought Lewis, of course Lewis dominated him with ease.

 

Ali could never TOY with Joe Louis, the type of fighters Ali had trouble with were fighters with decent speed and power, Cooper Almost had Ali done(ripped Glove) Doug Jones (below decent power) Frazier (fast Hook and power) Norton ( decent speed and power) Jimmy Young (good speed, less than decent power) None of these men mentioned had the power and speed of combo Of Louis, Ali would be able to run and stick for a few rounds but Joe was patient, he would counter Ali with the hook and the power jab (louis had a great one) Ali had trouble with good hookers and Joe was one of the best, he had a long one a short one and a in - between one. Ali could not toy with Louis and the only thing he may eat is ring resin, Study your films kid and look at the kind of fighters Ali lost to, then put Louis in there place and then honestly tell me Ali would Toy with and eat up Joe Louis and lets see WHO suffers from a Lack of Knowledge

 

Ali

 

Folley won all of the early rounds, they were pretty significant punches. Ali had a great chin, great footwork and is elusive, but he is definitley hittable from a guy like Lewis at his peak.

Lewis would produce better punches that Folley and they'd have more leverage on them. I think he'd KO Ali personally.

 

Hmm..what that tells a lewis if very average and small fighter a like Tua can punch him all night? It didn't happen..most punches which tua land was not full hits.

 

damn straight :good

 

Ali.

 

I love L. Lewis and George Foreman. Great fighters with different styles but same results. Foreman KO's L.L. in the thir round. But they would be a great 8 minutes.

 

Ernie weights only 212lb same as Ali
