Prime Ali vs Prime Lennox Lewis

I just think Lewis would be just to big for Ali to handle, add to that Lewis's excellent jab and Ali would've found himself on the wrong end of a decision. A great fight all the same.

 

Never saw Lewis take on a slickster with type of speed, footwork, jab, stamina, chin or ring acumen that Ali had. Was there even anyone else like him?? Lennox specialty was taking apart the bigger slower moving hitters like Golata, Ruddock, Mason, Grant, Briggs, etc..

 

Ali

 

Okay fine, but did Lennox Lewis ever fight someone with that description?

 

I woudn't expect Lewis to give a prime Ali much trouble at all, to be honest.

 

Ali checks his chin and finds glass.

 

Excellent ****ysis's That's how I see it.

 

Ali wins, again. Who saw that coming?

 

Would Lewis kayo Ali : unlikely
Could Lewis throw enough punches over 15 rounds to decision Ali: unlikely

 

Cassius Clay beats any heavy weight in any era in a 15 round bout. Lewis is a great champion and one of my favorite heavy weights, but he would not be able to land a single right hand on Cassius Clay.

 

how come all the kliturds who think wlad beats ali because wlad heavier, don't think the same with lennox? why are they all not posting here in their droves?

ah lennox isn't white yeh.

 

Lennox was never good at controlling the tempo of the fight and sometimes he opted out of the action playing it safe once he was hit hard to the head or body. History shows this was wise, as he had two 1 punch KO's in short fights when the other man hardly landed much aside from the knockout punch.

Wlad's jab, footwork, and master of range can control a fight all by itself, and he has faster hands and a much better left hook. Wlad's guard and defense are impressive too.

I somewhat think Lewis opted out vs Byrd and Ruiz because they were good boxer types, who might make him look bad.

 

Good point. Ali would beat Wlad, as well.

 

Ali UD.
