    I'm not hating it's just quicker to list them like this so here we go
    I agree with most here accept

    I think Lewis beats Ali on points, both around as good as eachother skill wise
    Ali had better footwork and was quicker
    Lewis was bigger and was a better ring general imo, but it's a very close fight either way
    I think Fraizer beats him every time around (Probably loses rematch tho)
    I doubt he stops Marciano
    I think Bowe could get a win, but wouldn't put money on it
    The Klitschko's are both live dogs but I don't think I'd make either favourite
    Louis could definitely win, but I don't think he would. As could Holmes
    In normal circumstances (not Zaire) I'd say Foreman lasts the distance

    But yeah, he generally could beat any HW in history on a given night

    There is a very good argument that Owens could

    Are you for real?

    Henry Akenwandi, Larry Donald, Tony Tucker, Tommy Morrison and Buster Douglas? I have officially seen it all

    Ali relied on being the taller and longer man to use his jab to maintain distance, he would not be able to do this against Lewis because Lewis was a taller and longer fighter with a longer jab.

    "Lewis wins because he's better" Wow, amazing boxing analysis there! You're clearly an expert!

    After being presented the facts and a soul searching re examination, I am convinced.

    Tommy Morrison does beat Ali.

    Really? Morrison had a mean left hook but a poor chin, Ali could punch as well.
    Also Morrison rarely jumped into his hook against quality opposition. He used a measured attack, I think Ali would fight him by jabbing and firing rights the moment he saw Tommy's left arm flinch

    You missed the sarcasm.

    Tommy was essentially **** with a flashy left hook, a veritable show pony.

    What qualifications do you have to call other people Casuals?

    I mean you think Buster Douglas beats Ali. I mean that's the statement of someone who has never seen Ali fight and probably just Tyson vs Douglas
