Aside from his 2 losses that were avenged,which hw boxer of the past or present had the style to beat lennox lewis?by ko or points.

Easy answer, Ali or George Foreman, Ali by points, Foreman by KO.

There are many others too, but I'll let someone else list them.

ALi


.....................

I think Rahman and McCall could knock him out.

A young prime Tyson would have beaten him. Foreman for sure as well as Ali.

I think Rahman and McCall could knock him out.

Cosign.

I think a prime Rahman stops him cold with probably a lucky punch that Lewis is too arrogant to acknowledge.

McCall just sparks him easily.

No way Foreman would have beat him, IMO, unless he was caught early which is always a possibility. I'd say the guys that could have beaten Lewis were Tyson and Ali. I wonder how many Marciano fans think he could have beaten Lewis. lol Probably all.

larry holmes
sonny liston
ken norton

lets not forget prime lennox lewis had some of the most unispiring performances of any so called great....

All depends on Lennox..
If he's not concentrating, anyone in the current top 30..
If he's on the ball, very few ATG's would beat him..

Ali, Holmes, Foreman, Louis would stand the best chances of beating him..

Easy answer, Ali or George Foreman, Ali by points, Foreman by KO.

I love the way you say easy answer, like it is adding 2+2.You sound so confident.
It's hard for me to imagine any hw beating Lewis.
I give Tyson a good chance.
Other than that, he could have outboxed Foreman.
As for Ali, he might have had trouble with Lennox's size.
Let's not forget Lewis was a smart fighter too.
Joe Louis would have been a bit too small.

Larry Holmes and prime Ali would give him a hard time. If Lennox is motivated, in shape, he's probably the most complete Heavyweight ever. I rank him in my top 5 heavyweight.

I think Tyson was the most skillful hw fighter i've ever seen.lewis didn't duck , dodge and weave like tyson.He didn't need to, but thats why tyson was so good ,cuz he had all these skills and excellent technique.
he had copy book skills.

Aside from his 2 losses that were avenged,which hw boxer of the past or present had the style to beat lennox lewis?by ko or points.
I pick Holmes, Ali and Foreman over him for decision or KO.
Lewis could have won on any other HW but his chin could have been a problem against (prime) Tyson, Frazier, Liston, Louis.

Hmmm, so easy that you're looking for answers already..

to be honest, I don't think Lewis chin is as bad as people make it out to be.
He copped flush shots off mccall and rahman that resulted in ko's, and he copped some good shots off vitali and he wasn't rocked.

Sonnyboyx hasn't weighed in on this yet? :dunno:

if McCall & Rahman could put Lewis lights-out then the list of past HW boxers who would beat Lewis is endless

Lewis wouldnt be able to handle the pressure of prime foreman, thats easy.

Lewis wouldnt be able to handle prime Ali, too fast with his feet and hands, thats easier.

I dont get it but ok, I just listed 2 I think would beat him for sure, some people think Frazier would beat him but idk with that uppercut Lewis had. Theres no real answer to threads like this, all speculation and opinion.

Ali, Tyson [peak], Larry Holmes, Foreman, Liston.

Seeing as we are talking about prime Lewis here is the list of top guys who can beat him

Ali would win against lewis, who i doubt would cope well with Ali's speed and movement. Of course there is a chance Lewis imposes his size on Ali, or lands a ko shot.

Foreman, I don't see winning against Lewis

Frazier, could win, giving Lewis problems with his style, or it could look like Lewis v Tua as well.

Louis, is think gets out-jabbed as does Holmes.

Tyson, if Lewis weathers the storm would get stopped

Holmes, Ali or Foreman.

Ali and Holmes outjab him (ala Mercer/Bruno) once you take away Lewis jab its hard for him to work combinations. He doesn't tend to throw lead left hooks and right hands, usually textbook style with a good defence.

When he has mental lapses he gets in trouble (McCall and Rahman) but when he doesn't hes one of the greats he's excellent. People point to those fights and say "everyone in the top 20" or whatever but thats wrong hes proven with wins over Holyfield, Vitali etc that he can take punches and win.

Foreman might be able to walk him down and knock him out but Foreman could be outboxed so its a 50/50 fight. I don't think Tyson or Frazier would have beaten him Lewis uppercut was nasty, and he would never need to get in range to fire off the 1-2.

The one Liston, Foreman, Shavers, Lyle, Norton, Frazier etc could not land?

I rate Lewis, but get real. He aint KOing Ali.

No way Lennox outjabs Holmes. NOBODY outjabs Holmes except maybe Liston and Lennox is no Sonny Liston in the jab department.

Little 170lb Cooper knocked Ali's block off, Ali was lucky he fell into the ropes and that he was saved by the bell when he got up.

Had 250lbs Lewis landed the same shot Ali wouldn't have got up. Landing that shot is another thing entirely.

well he did get straight back up from a monstrous frazier left hook.

If we go back to the 1st round between Tyson and Lewis in 2002,Lewis looked stunned at Tyson's ferocity, and didn't know what to do.I feel that could have unfolded for 12 rounds at Tyson's peak.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but wasn't Ali up at 3 vs Cooper?

Henry`s Hammer was a far superior weapon than the right-hands of Rahman & McCall... Ali was immediately up after getting floored by Henry Cooper & Joe Frazier yet the referee could have counted to 100+ over Lewis when Rahman poleaxed him.... many have said on this subject about Lewis jab and Lewis uppercut, but who did Lewis KO with his uppercut? and was he not out-jabbed by Bruno, Mercer & Vitali...we also hear lots of quotes about how great Lennox Lewis was if he was `Focused`which again is rubbish.. the truth is that Lewis got poleaxed twice by mediocre journeymen something which never ever happened to ATGs like Foreman, Ali, Louis, Frazier, Patterson, Michael Spinks, Larry Holmes, Holyfield, Liston, Dempsey, Johnson, Tunney, Marciano nor was great contenders like Quarry or Lyle,
