          Lennox Lewis, he could fight on the back foot, front foot, side foot, upside down foot.

            Ali easily. He could move, he could stand toe-to-toe and blister you with combinations, he could fight off the ropes, etc.

              Ali was a more of a head hunter, he didn't go to the body enough.

              If we're talking about a boxer who had the total package, size, speed, inside game, jab etc. Than I would say it is Lennox Lewis.

                lewis's chin was lacking. more so then alis body shots......and lewis was much slower & didn't have the type of foot movement ali possessed. lewis was a cut rate version of ali...........in fact holmes was a cut rate version of ali but holmes was still better then lewis.

                  Lewis couldn't even come close to Ali's speed and footwork, that's just my opinion. And what was more lacking and detrimental to them in major fights....Ali's body attack or Lewis' chin???

                  I'll Larry over Lennox, H2H and prime for prime.

                    Lewis's chin? He went down twice in his entire career, Ali hit the deck more times than that and should have had a KO loss to LHW Henry Cooper early in his career. Lewis was a more complete fighter than Ali.
