Lewis and it isn't even close.
Ali lost to Norton all 3 times. Lost to Shavers. Lost to young. Got robberies apart from the first Norton fight as Norton got the decision. Illegally loosened the ropes in order to lean back on them to avoid Foreman's amateur swinging. Ropes have to be a certain tightness by law. Never are they that loose. It was obvious what went on. He then fought Frazier after he had been brutalised by Foreman thus making the rematch much easier for Ali.
A lot of the fighters Ali fought were either shot or complete bums. Who did he really beat?
I notice all the strawmen arguments regarding Lewis getting knocked out by McCall and Rahman. We're talking about resumes of who they beat, not who they didn't beat. However, Lewis lost to McCall after not doing any sparring as he didn't have any interest in fighting him. He was frustrated by being ducked by the top fighters. He went in there and rushed his work. But even saying that, the ref stopped the fight too early and never gave Lewis the chance others have got. I think we know the reason why. Well, if you're not dumb that is.
Then we have the Rahman fight in which Lewis again didn't train, came in at his heaviest weight, and turned up in South Africa with the altitude far too late. So much so it was all people were talking about leading up to the fight. You could even see it with Lewis with his mouth wide open in the first round trying to suck oxygen in. He was sluggish as hell.
When you put their actual wins down, Ali is left lacking in ways that are laughable. Basic and nothing more than good fighters being cast down as "Great". They weren't, no matter how much you want to insult my intelligence. Lewis' opponents would make quick work of Ali's. Could you imagine Tua vs Frazier? Vitali vs Foreman? Holyfield vs Norton? They're mismatches in a horrible way.
Ali isn't just the most grotesquely overrated fighter in history. He's the most grotesquely overrated athlete of all time. We won't see such insanity on this level again. That's how bad it actually is. Myth. Nothing more.
