    You can say with certain more than Ali?

    Bull****.

    Liston, Foreman, and Shavers in the first tier are widely regarded as not some of but THE biggest punchers of all time.

    Than you have Big Cat, Lyle, Norton, Frazier, Patterson, Cooper, Bonavena...etc

    Go back and read what I said... I credited him as having faced the "most" punchers .. Not necessarily saying that the men he flight hit "harder" than shavers... But they sure hit pretty damn hard and there were certainly a hell of a lot more of them...

    While I can see what the guy in the video says above. I will admit the Rock is unproven against 220+ guys who are world class. So I have no idea how he would react to one. He might get smashed or prove his power even more by scoring the knockout. Who knows really?

    I'm quite happy to give this to Ali but regardless it doesn't change the overall point, which is that Lewis' chin was tested plenty. Hell there's even a youtube video on this.

    And he was never knocked out despite facing more and greater punchers than any fighter in history.

    Bull****.

    I understand what you're saying. You're saying he he faced more punchers than Ali. Not harder punchers. However I will strongly disagree with that notion.

    Before you give yourself a hard on, I didn't say he fought the "hardest" punchers of all time.. I said he fought the "most" big punchers of all time..this can be achieved by logging into boxrec and simply counting them. This tool only works of course if the individual doing the search knows which ones to classify as punchers.

    tough question, I was beaten up in both, lol

    however, one of the worst beatings i took was in sparring as we had a poor trainer supervising on hand and things got way too serious.

    at least with a real fight you have a ref, lol

    I'm always hard.

    I know who Lewis fought.

    Ali fought more punchers, who were also usually prime and greater overall than The lugs Lewis was tested against.
