So this is the guy you say it would just be another day in the park when facing Deontay Wilder?

    Well, no .... but Lewis got up and stumbled straight into the referee and LOST the fight.
    Clay (not Ali yet) got up and walked to his corner and came out and WON the fight.

    losing is not as good as winning, in my book.

    Sorry, prime Ali exactly was Ali from 60 ies not from 70 ies.
    Cooper had dropped him and no one is unbeatable. Prime Ali had beated up a lot of boxers who weighted up less than 200 lbs, including very old Moore etc opponents.
    And nope, Ali from 70 ies had only 2 elite things: chin and dirtyboxe.

    You honestly comparing Wilders glass jaw to the cast iron chin off McCall?

    Bruh...

    If you don’t understand that Lewis would sleep Wilder then we are fools to think words could reach you.

    He didn't really lost to McCall. It was a Don King stoppage. He was up and ready to go.

    Clay is 1963 against Cooper was still young and learning. He hit his prime years from 1964, or maybe 1966-'67.

    I mean, he was 21 years old against Cooper in 1963, and was having his 19th pro fight, had been professional for less than 3 years.
    Some said Lewis "wasn't prime yet against McCall" but he was 29 years old, having his 26th pro fight, had been professional for more than 5 years.

    He literally stumbled into the referee when the referee went to wipe his gloves, he fell into the little guy.
    Can't really blame Don King for that.

    Lewis is top 10 in history, Wilder would be lucky to scrape in top 50.

    Lewis would walk through Wilder, imo.

    No such thing happened. It is on youtube, and anyone can see that this is nonsense. He was a little shakey, but the count was nowhere near ten.

    He was not in his prime against Mccall because he improved vastly afterwards when he trained under Emmanuel Steward. Physical prime means nothing in this context

    Unique legs for his size and weight, most likely best ever. Despite his style IRL was not that suitable for modern boxing sorry.
    Even prime Tyson had not so good legs as prime Ali, this IRL was unique stuff for boxers in such size and weight.
    Yeah, such stuff is unique.
