    This TS is delusional and clearly a ALI fan boy. Lennox was a monster at 245+. Look at his fight against Morrison and think if Ali ever fought anybody close to as physically impressive as Lennox Lewis. LOL. Also Lennox got knocked out twice via lucky punches and avenged both losses. Something that can't be said of Ali. Lewis is a ATG just like Ali but much bigger, stronger, faster, and more physically talented. Vitali and Wladimir are also two fighters Ali couldn't have beaten. Stop being delusional rofl, super heavyweights lennox vitali and wladimir would have taken your american hero to ****ing school.

        Did an American steal your girlfriend Bergin?

        You really don't like Americans, do you?

          Comparing Lennox Lewis or the Klitschko's to Muhamma Ali is a joke.

          Muhammad Ali is superior in pretty much every way.

            What I have highlighted made me laugh.

            Faster than Ali? Only Patterson had a faster left, and for footspeed....this isn't even close.

            More physically talented? Did Lennox slip punches better? Put combinations together better? show better footwork? Better accuracy?


            Ali's reach and his speed of foot alone would keep him more than honest against those guys. His reach more than fits in within the supersized heavies at over 80 inches.

            I'd admit that the supersized heavys have advantages in hitting power and strength over Ali. But do any of them hit harder than Liston, Foreman or Shavers? Doubtful! Plus these advantages would be offset by speed, mobility, workrate and technical prowess (albeit Ali's style was unorthodox and scientifically flawed to the boxing purist).

            The day will come when a heavyweight will grace the earth that would beat prime Ali head to head. I just don't think we've seen him yet!!!

              People have got to be crazy to not think Ali keeps all three of these guys at range and spends most the fight peppering them with combinations. You're not outjabbing Ali, and all three of these guys depend on being able to do that.

                Lennox is a beast, But lifting weights and getting bigger doesn't always make you a Monster. He's was probably actually a better puncher at 235, his natural weight. Look at him in the olympics, he was slim. Look at Foreman in the Olympics or Tyson, 2 guys who were naturally strong. There is a difference.

                By the end of Norton Career he was Cut 6'3 and 230 lbs of pure muscle. He gradually looked worse and worse as he got bigger, lost his speed and his stamina declined.

                Lewis' power didn't go up as he put on weight, if anything we saw his speed go down and he got knocked out by a man smaller than Ali, at 6'1.
