Ali, Lewis would have given Ali a lot more problems than Tyson though.
FFS. Who next? Henry Cooper? Oh....
Ali vs Joe louis would of been the closest to call
Lennox Lewis may have done a Bugner and gone the distance with Ali but he would have been soundly beaten.
rocky marciano would have gone toe to toe with tyson, and battered him in a sluggers match.
but in the world of boxing, ali was the ultimate athlete nqat. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

You could start a poll thread of Ali vs The 12th SS Panzer Division and people would be going "The Panzers wouldn't get anywhere near him"

You have much more experience and expertise in that field. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

Not really. It's just that you've picked one of the greatest sportsmen ever who according to most boxing experts was top of the tree in his discipline and you are making polls with guys who couldn't lace his boots.IT WAS A PORK SANDWICH
I bet Ali never even played in a nine-darter.

When he was at his peak I don't think any boxer could have lived with him.

For balance , How is Lennox Lewis not fit to lace Ali's boots ? He beat every opponent he ever faced. Last man to unify the belts tooThe two fights Lewis lost, Rahman and McCall, were avenged when he stopped both fighters in the rematches.

I agree with those who say that Lewis could have gone the distance in another Ali v Bugner type fight, but the result would have been the same - a pretty comfortable points win for Ali.

For balance , How is Lennox Lewis not fit to lace Ali's boots ? He beat every opponent he ever faced. Last man to unify the belts tooLewis was far bigger and far better than Joe Bugner so not a valid comparison imho. Ali never faced anyone like Lewis or indeed Klitchko. No one was that size at the time. He wasn't invincible at all for example Frazier spanked him in their first fight when he was close to his prime. How is he getting past Lewis jab?
