Lewis: Lennox would be tough for Ali...not just because of his size either...Lewis was a very smart and athletic fighter. Lewis 6'5 245 roughly vs Ali 6'3 225...it would be very tough to call seeing how Ali struggled with fighters like Ken Norton.

Tyson: Mike Tyson would NEVER EVER EVER EVER............EVER beat Muhammed Ali. Doesn't matter if it's the Ali that fought Foreman vs the Tyson that thumped Larry Holmes....or any other pairing other than VERY old Ali vs a 1986-1996 Tyson he could still punch after '89, but only one punch at a time.

Bowe: EXTREMELY difficult fight to win for ANYONE EVER! Bowe was athletic and powerful and he was just a bigger badder and better than Sonny Liston. Ali would definantly have THE MOST TROUBLE with 1990's Riddick Bowe.

Holyfield: Another very difficult fight for anyone in the 90's....however Evander got hit a ton and as fast as Ali's hands were and as adept at moving as he was and let's not forget Ali never really ever got cut.....hard fought UD for Ali.

Rudduck: can you say a** WHUPPIN? Rudduck could only throw power shots and really didn't do well on defense.

Morrison: It would be like the Jerry Quarry fights......Tommy either gets cut to shreds or just flat out outboxed.

Golota: hahahahaha.....Ali would actually have a little trouble with the "Foul Pole". In all seriousness the way to have an easy time with Golota is to blast him out early and the only guy who got Ali riled up enough to do that (Sonny Liston in the rematch) obviously didn't want to even fight Ali. Ali would win this by UD or Golota would quit or get dq'd

Moorer: Ali would really mess MM up...Michael was good in the 90's, good enough to beat a Prime Holyfield but he had a huge disadvantage in a hypothetical matchup vs Ali.......he was easily rattled mentally

Foreman: Well I don't know if Ali would KO him but he sure would beat him.

Mercer: A tough fight but one Ali would win because of his tenacity.

McCall: EASY WIN

Briggs: Ali would give Shannon another asthma attack
Not bad way of looking at it mate have for effort but i think Lewis would be hardest not Bowe because Bowe wasn't that great when people fought him on outside remember Holyfield vs Bowe 2 and remember that Tony Tubbs outboxed him but still would be hard for Ali but not quite as hard as some think and as for you saying about Ken Norton that was due to his weird style bro because no one had style like Norton it confused Ali only other hws who had sort of similar style to him was Witherspoon and Archie Moore.
