    Assuming all fighters are in their primes.

    He could beat all of them on any given night.

    I don't like his chances against Ali or Liston if I had to name two I thought would beat him.

    Lewis only stands a chance against Frazier and Louis and maybe Dempsey.


    Realistically.

    Lewis beats Holyfield but loses to Louis?

    Nuthugger alert.



    I absolutely despise Lewis but he could knock Louis out cold.

    Louis stood a puncher's chance against Lewis but I prefer Lewis more.
    Tyson / Lewis and Foreman / Lewis seem too hard to predict .
    Holyfield in his prime could give him a tough fight , tougher than he actually gave him twice while 5-6 years removed from the end of his prime

    I am going to stick my neck out and say that Louis could probably take Lewis's shots better than Lewis could take his.

    Louis was never stopped without a sustained beatdown, so we have to credit him with the better chin.

    That aside, Lewis could beat any of the fighters listed and he could loose to them all.

    The wording of the question makes it hard to answer/vote on this, so I declined the poll option.

    When you are talking about a clear top 10 ATG, it would be stupid to say they stood no chance against basically anyone. So when you ask who could Lewis beat, and give a list of a few select names....I would say he is capable of beating all of them at any given time.

    I don't think he would beat all of them, and would favor him only over Dempsey and call Holyfield 50/50.....I wouldn't pick him to beat the rest, but Lewis is clearly to good to say he has no or even only a slim shot. he has a solid chance to beat all of them, but I would not necesarilly pick it!

    If an acient Holyfield arguably won the second fight with prime Lewis, imagine what a prime Holyfield could do...



    YOU NUTHUGGERS MUST THINK FOR OCNE IN YOUR LIVES!
