Would Ali KO Lewis a little FASTER than he did Foreman?

[Mark TKO]

Yes but no way can Ali be regarded a one punch KO man. Thats what it took to beat Lewis imo


I remember Whittaker registering a handful of sensational one punch KOs (no idea who opponents were) and he for many is the first name that comes to mind when talking of feather fisted champs.

I think he has the kind of power to turn a fight round with one punch, he showed that few times in his career. But no it wouldn't be his power it would be his faster feet and faster punches that would do the job.

As for Pernell Whitaker if anyone question's his power, i suggest they watch Diosbelys Hurtado/Pernell Whitaker thats one of the most brutal KO's i've ever seen.

yeah but the stats don't lie when it comes to punching power


there's a rumour that even Malignaggi stopped a couple of people

That's because Pernell Whitaker was often moving backwards, and doing so many feints. It's hard to get serious power when your doing all that, i think when he had to he had underrated power. Check out KO of Diosbelys Hurtado he almost kills him.

Pernell got his knock downs and knock outs from good body punching. Ali was with speed and accuracy, neither were one punch KO artists, even McCallum landed the one shot against Curry does not make him a one punch KO artist.

Im sorry but a prime Ali would have beaten Lewis hands down, you cant question the greatest, he was faster, stronger, fitter and smarter then his opponents.
Lewis wouldnt stand a chance

I would not say he was stronger than Lewis but agree about everything else.

Yeah the idea Sweet Pea couldn't punch is one of the great myths. Nobody EVER rushed Pete.
