Louis was knocked out by Max Schmelling a 190 pounder. I dont give a damn how many rounds it took Lewis would of never been stopped by any 190 pounder. Louis had a glass chin period. Light punching Billy Conn had him ass out for crying out loud. Lewis would butt **** Louis and make him like it.
lenox lewis was a great fighter, he has a chance with all great fighters but he could just as easy lose to a tami mauriello or renaldo snipes.
I'd give him a decent to good chance against all of them. No one combined skill and size like LL. He fairs well H2H and is a top 5 all time IMHO.
IMO he beats Foreman, Frazier, Tyson, Holyfield and Dempsey more often than they him. Holmes and Liston are 50/50 against him I think. Louis would beat him more often than vice versa.
Loses to Foreman,Holmes,Tyson,Holyfield..........Beats the rest Although im iffy on the Holmes fight, even though i rate Holmes higher .. Stylistically and matchup wise he might beat Holmes thats pickem.... And I barely have him over Liston.
When his minds on the job really he could beat them all. The only one i see him struggling with is Ali.
Peak for Peak, i favour Lewis quite confidently over the fighters on that list, except for Holy & Tyson.
