    With his superior skills, speed, footwork etc. The Ali thar tore through the HW division in the mid 60’s is a nightmare for any of those guys. Evander Holyfield gave all 3 of those guys trouble purely down to having good fundamentals and great resilience/toughness/stamina.
    Yes but Evander wasnt enough was he because he lacked the overall ability that some* bigger men had. This is the most extreme elite you can have thats why Evander isnt named. Nor should Ali be.

    Anyway potential troll going on here so gonna limit my responses, thats my final say on Ali and weight etc

        I think Tyson Fury is a very talented fighter but he hasn't done anything yet to be in the Conversation with the others named. Larry Holmes is the best on the list btw. People out way too much emphasis on the size of these men. It's like people saying they aren't sure Usyk can handle HW. The mfer with out cutting for Cruiser is probably 225lbs, it's laughable. At the highest level skills usually wins these fights.

          The way* he beat wlad, the skills and assets he obviously possesses and you can watch right infront of you, the way he came back to win from a serious mental health problem and extreme weight gain, and ring rust, it all tells me plenty already and it should you. Do you really need to wait till (if) he beats joshua and the next best guy again to "know" he was as good as the others?

              I would love to see Lewis vs Ali at their prime.

                Are you for real???

                Ali was far more skilled than Holyfield. If Holyfield caused these guys problems what would a prime Ali do?

                If anyone is trolling here it’s you.

                You seem extremely uneducated on HW boxing history.

                  It’s a tough matchup stylistically but I’d confidently pick a prime Ali to beat all 3.
                  Was Ali prime before or after the Frazier loss?

                    He also tore his rotator cuff and required surgery. That was a big deal and he knew it.

                      Before obviously...

                      Ali was never the same fighter following his hiatus.
