I cant say with certainty because one or two of them might get lucky. But if there was a heavyweight tournament where every heavyweight had to fight every other heavyweight Lennox would come out on top.

u should watch the mccall fight and then imagine what sonny liston with his 86" reach could have done to lennox.
he wouldnt come out on top in my opinion, his chin wouldnt allow that

In a tournament where great fighters are fighting other great fighters, Lennox would defeat every single one! His only two losses were against opponents he overlooked. Hes not going to overlook Liston. And even if Liston gets lucky, the rematch Liston gets KTFO.

Lennox defeated every fighter he ever faced proffesionaly and would do the same if he fought the all-time greats.

Maybe I should have added "No Delusional Nuthuggers Please" to the thread title. Good well thought out responces from the posters up until this joker

I think one point re Lewis Marciano has been overlooked. Whilst the size difference gives Marciano a lot of problems one of Lewis faults to my mind is he did like to coast in fights, it nearly cost him the 2nd Holyfield fight IMO. Now one thing with Marciano is he was a very active fighter and threw as many punches in the 15th round as the 1st. Cuts might be a problem but assuming the fight is back in Marciano's era cuts wont be such a factor. So does Lewis KO Marciano? No one ever did so you can only speculate.
So could Lewis outwork Marciano for 12/15 very high tempo rounds and keep his concentration up for that length of time, if Rahman and McCall can knock out Lewis Marciano can.
Remember Walcott boxed the ears off Marciano for 12 rounds and made one mistake.
Food for thought?

[Boss Don]

Louis
Dempsey
Liston
Marciano
Frazier
Wills
Walcott will all get knocked out

Ali
Holmes
Holyfield would win a decsion

Johnson
Foreman
Tyson would KO Lewis

marciano would lose 10 out of 10 fights against lennox lewis.
it needs boxers like ali and liston to beat a prime lewis.
marciano was barely 5'10" and had a 67" reach.
he just had 7 title fights, thats it.
an old jersey joe walcott was beating marciano until he got lucky, a prime lennox would have finished marciano that night pretty easy.
lennox 240LBS, rocky 185 LBS, its rly not fair..
