Which past/present HW boxer could have beaten Lennox Lewis?

[Junito-Rulez]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

[fight_professor]

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

[ShatteredGlass]

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
