    Thomas would have some success with that fine jab he had, like Mercer did and i could see some rounds taken on a similar vein. But as mentioned, Ray had a such a good chin so was able to take so much of Lennox's power. Pinky wouldn't last the course.

    The best of Lewis would beat all these guys he's a level above. If he fought them across the course of a career he may well have a loss early before getting Steward on board and he could well replicate his complacency late career and lose another one. Basically similar to what he did in his own era. Best for best he's good to go tho.

    To be fair Thomas also had a pretty sturdy chin aswell, Tyson literally had to nail him to the floor with dozen or so punches to finally put him down.

    Even when Thomas was totally faded as a fighter, he took beatings off of Holyfield, Bowe, etc without being floored.

    Thomas has a pretty underrated chin IMO.
