This ain't the same *Unbeatable 60s Ali* that got a gift decision against the Mediocre Doug Jones, or the same Ali that almost got KO by Cruiserweight Henry Cooper, and had to have smelling salts which wern't allowed in UK, plus have his glove split to help him survive.

Plenty could of have beaten him.

Prime Riddick Bowe
Prime Larry Holmes
Prime Lennox Lewis
Prime Joe Louis
Etc.

no way --bowe was bigger --but ali was way 2 fast and would win by a ud.
holmes if anything is a poor mans ali--he's an ali wannab--holmes had a better jab--but ali was overall a better fighter and faster ali by ud or sd
lewis=overrated. ali would run circles around him- win by ud

louis -almost lost 2 conn--thers no way in hell he could beat ali. ali would cut louis into shreds--ud or tko


Lennox Lewis over rated? I don't know how you could actually say that and mean it....Lennox was one of the most dominate champions not only in the HW division but to ever grace the sport.....

Lennox had 2 losses....One to McCall where he was a bit full of himself and got caught...Lewis was still a work in progress at the time...

His loss to Rahman was because Lennox was out of shape and had been hanging out in Hollywood filming for 3 weeks before the fight and then flew to South Africa with out even allowing himself enough time to adjust to the time difference.....In the rematch he did not just beat Rahman he made an example of him.....

By time 2002 rolled along Lennox was a complete fighter who pretty much dominated the ring, His opponents and OWNED the HW division...when Lennox was fighting there was no question who the champion was....Not to mention he has one of the best resumes in the history of HW boxing....

Tua.
Most of those were via KO, and he avenged his only two losses bith by 5th round KO.
Unified the HW division.
Was world champ for the best part of 10 years.
If he is overrated then name me someone who isnt!
