Didnt know you were a fan of Holmes but you know your boxing so he must be one of the all timers ! Did u eva post at his site ? He used to chat to his fans on there . I think he is still pretty bitter . Great fighter though .

Yea i used to have him in my main pic but i changed it with Mayweather i have 30+ of Holmes fights and yes i did post at his site boxinggreats i was i actually made a post there about week ago Holmes don't post on it anymore so i don't really go on it only like once every month i think prime for prime Holmes would beat Ali and actually thinking about it prime for prime Lewis could beat Ali aswell infact im going to change my vote.

my god another person that thinks holmes would beat ali prime vs prime my god cc for you didn't think i find another lol

I can't believe that so many people think that Lewis would beat Ali.

Thank god it was my vote that got Ali to #10, because it was tied 9-9.

i totally agree. so many people say Holmes never faced a fighter like Ali but i don't think Ali ever faced a fighter like Holmes. Holmes' defense i think is very under-rated and his jab would give Ali a lot of trouble IMO.

can I choose "none of the above" :)

Lewis as an all time great? please tell me ur joking.

OK I know it's your opinion so I'll play along. Uhhhhh, I'll take Ali in this matchup. He was too slick for Lewis. If you want to see the results of Ali/Lewis all you have to do is look at the results of Ali/Foreman.

sorry dont think that is the right way to put it lewis may lose to ali but it will not go down like forman loses lewis is alot more accuret with his punchs and would not be easy for ali at all and if you think it would be easy you are a fool lennox was way bigger then ali and had a hell of a reach pluse the power to put ali down so think that ali would have a walk in the park

i made some errors my bad did't pay attention all i will say no way in hell is ali going to have a easy time with lewis

Nice warm up fight for Ali here as he wins as easy UD over a plodding Lewis baffled by Ali's speed and stinging Jab.

I am under the opinion that we are talking prime fighter against prime fighter. With that premis in mind, Ali should have lost to Cooper but didn't thanks to his trainer. Lennox on the other hand was put to sleep by McCall and Rahman in his prime.

I've never been an Ali supporter for greatest of all time but he was certainly good enough to beat someone the likes of Lewis.

you still dont get what i am saying dude it would be a hard fight for ali and i dont doubt he would win but not easy though

Lennox was GREAT, but I think stylistically Ali would outpoint him with his superior speed/jab, while keeping away from Lennox's big power.

But it would be an incredible fight... Lennox Lewis would be a hard fight for any man that ever lived

I like your thinking Sugar Shaw....

Here's my idea.... if the voting turns into one fighter twice as much as the other guy, it's a knockdown.

90% it's a KO. :) Get me?

Oh please. ::**

Lewis was a much better skilled and a much smarter fighter then Foreman.
