    I think Ali would've beaten them all but I give Lewis and Louis the best chances to beat him.

      who did Lewis ever beat to warrant him the best chance of beating Muhammad Ali?

        Hi guys please give me some insight as to how you think the following would do against Ali, prime for prime.

        At least one of them must be able to beat him!


        1. Vitali Klitschko

        2. Wladamir Klitschko

        3. Joe Louis

        4. Lennox Lewis

        5. Mike Tyson

        6. Evander Holyfield

        7. Rid**** Bowe
        Watching Corrie Sanders' straight punches buzz the Klitschkos says all I need to know about them (I realize Sanders was a southpaw, but still). Their lackluster workrate would also be a downfall. A fighter had to put forth serious effort to get to Ali. Bear in mind that Ali was 6'3" and had an 82" reach, and fought tall. Mid rounds TKOs.
        That same height and straight punches would dismiss Joe Louis early.
        Lewis would be a tougher fight. But again it comes down to workrate. Ali late stoppage.
        Prime Tyson would give him the biggest problems, but Tyson would take some punches, which he didn't like, and when Tyson didn't dispatch his opponent quickly he would settle into a mauling comfort zone. Ali would jab him senseless. UD.
        Bowe's strengths were on the inside, where he wouldn't get, and his overrated jab would be neutralized by Ali's. UD.

        Ali in '67 is not going to be beaten by anyone, I think. You'd have to get the mid-70s Ali, who depending on preparation could lose to any of them. It took an awkward, jerky fighter like Norton or Frazier who could smother to beat Ali, and these guys aren't it.

            Ali would have no chance against Bowe or the Klitschkos imo. He could beat all the others. Louis would give him most problems out of them, but on his best night Ali could outwork him. Lewis would get owned so bad he'd be crying after the match!

            Holyfield could beat Ali, but its the other way around too. Could go either way.

                What does Wlad Klitschko do better than Lewis?

                Why would Ali not stand a chance against Wlad Klitschko but he'd make Lewis cry?

                  Stfu you limey *****! Everybody knows Lewis's skills were subpar to the greatest boxers. Go and jerk off to Lewis tapes and leave us adults to talk seriously.

                    Adults?

                    Adults don't get all offended because somebody asks them a question. And say things like "go jerk off to Lewis tapes"

                    Whether you like it or not, Lewis was supperior to both Klitschko's.

                    What's up with you today? You got sand in your vagina?

                      Yeah and so was Danny Williams, thats why he got splattered across the floor against Vitali! You never cease to amaze me and entertain me with your ******ity! And All-British bias. Go eat your fish and chips and stay away from boxing. You'll do many of us a favor.
