Do not think Ali could KO Lewis but he would beat him on points. Lewis would not take Ali lightly, Ali did not punch with the venom of Rahman and McCall, but Ali in his prime was too fast, agile, smart and class boxer ever.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
Emmanuel Steward Lewis would be too much for Ali imo. Ali would struggle getting past that jab but he also has that right hand to worry about. He's never fought anyone who was big and fluid as Lennox..
The Lion punishes him...

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
Lewis would've been a punching bag for Ali in any era, it would take a three toed sloth about a month to walk one mile, marginally faster than Lennox Lewis in the boxing ring. Ali would be snapping his head back all night with that jab, so would Holmes. Like Ali's pre Rumble fight talk describing Big George "Here comes George with a left, here comes George with a right" Ali was saying this in slow motion. Lewis was easily hit, he was an easy target and would lose easily to Ali in any era of Ali's career except post Rumble. Ali should've been retired after the Thriller in Manila.

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
Yes Lewis was easily hit. Holmes would've pistoned-off his head in about 4 rounds with the jab alone. 3-toed sloth is a great comparison Third Man, beautiful point. Lewis too slow for sure.
Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
No Lennox Lewis was more measured and wouldn't rush in wildly like George Foreman, but i think Lennox Lewis loses a decision. A prime Muhammad Ali is too slick and too fast with his foot and handspeed.

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
Well Ray Mercer did outjab him, and Evander Holyfield came close to out pointing him. I just feel Muhammad Ali beats him to the punch especially with the jab.Not saying I disagree, but when did you ever see Lewis outboxed?

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
I agree with ICB on this one BIG. Lewis was never outboxed over 12 rounds but he never fought anyone as good as Ali either. Frank Bruno, Evander and Vitali all caused problems that make me think Ali would pick him apart over 12 or 15 rounds. Not saying any of them fight anything like Ali, just that if they can cause Lennox so many problems then Ali would figure out a method to pick Lewis apart.Not saying I disagree, but when did you ever see Lewis outboxed?

Prime meeting Ali by close UD \ SD.
Ali didn't have the one punch KO power to stop Lewis and no way does Lewis burn himself out like Foreman.

Re: Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?
ALI always found a way to defeat a opponent , if he did lose , Frazier,Norton he went back to the drawing board and worked it out , a truly amazing fighter and man , Ali took boxing to a new level with hand , foot and mouth speed , He would have to much speed for Lennox, not slagging Lewis of at all he was a superb boxer but Ali always found a way INCREDIBLE

Points win against Lewis, when Ali was in his peak.
The ageing Ali would have gotten dropped early in my book!

Didnt Lewis do the same he beat every man he went into the ring with?ALI always found a way to defeat a opponent , if he did lose , Frazier,Norton he went back to the drawing board and worked it out
Ali win on points for me . But Lewis would still stand a chance he had the size and the power to cause any1 problems.
