bird 9,594 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 ok, Mick c , And Gnasher or any other boxing buffs , what you lot think ? Dont get me wrong i think Ali was the best Heavyweight to get ever in a ring, and i still think the same .But was reading about Lewis lastnight, and what it said , was that he had everything needed to be great champion,= height 6ft 5in, 250lb , power, great left jab, one of longest reach , 5 in more than Ali , both good stopping hands, very agile, and good brain, could change tactics in a fight when he had to, good wind for 12 rounds, not bad jaw , ok he got ko twice, but he beat them 2nd time round, Ali prob got the better jaw , but dont think he had Lewis overall power . So i think , it be close maybe Ali late stoppage , but regards the crop we got to day= Fury, Aj, Wilder, Lewis, would deff beat them easy, well thats wha i think .!

It would be a very tough fight for Ali, Lewis had all the tools in the box, 8a great trainer plus he had the size and power on Ali. I still think Ali at his peak was too fast and elusive for Lewis and would beat him on points. Edited September 15, 2020 by Greb147 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ali to small for your Furys and Lewis . He might of got a win or two from every 10 against Fury. maybe 50/50 re Lewis ? Fury is irrelevant, he asked about Ali and Lewis. Fury is not in the equation you moron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
General lee 979 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Are we talking Lennox Lewis? Because if we are he’s not in the same league as Ali to stiff one demensional and no footwork Ali and fury would have no problem with Lennox Lewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaaark 10,130 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Bit pointless really, these discussions about boxers from different eras. 'Big' george foreman was only 4lb heavier than ali when they fought. Foreman 220lb, ali 216lb. Fury wilder 1st fight, wilder 212lb, fury 256 1/2lb, almost 3 1/2 stone difference. Pretty embarrassing for fury and his fans really, considering such a smaller opponent, that can't really box, put him on his arse twice in the same fight lol.

I agree these " Its a Knockout" type match ups are not even worth discussing.....you like to think that being the greatest heavyweight in history Ali would find a way to beat Lewis.....but who knows....................he was better than him at everything...just leave it at that.

gnasher16 29,624 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Keep an eye out for a kid called Johnny Fisher at heavyweight...big,powerful white kid will make his debut towards the end of the year....very raw but he,ll hopefully make a dent in the division over the coming years,remember the name Edited September 18, 2020 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
