    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.

        I think Rahman and McCall could knock him out.

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

            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.

                  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..

                    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.
