Lewis definently doesn't beat a prime Ali. With that slow ass overated Jab of his.
He had an 84 reach which made his jab effective, but it's nothing Ali hasn't seen before, fighting Liston (84) Foreman (82) and im pretty sure Cleveland Williams was packing an 82 as well.
Holmes Jab was far superior to Lewis. The rest of Lewis arsenal is nothing spectacular I see Ali stopping Lewis late he's from an era based on hard work and determination.
Not to take anything away from Lewis. ATG for sure. I see him making mincemeat of a lot of opponent's Ali fought as well.
