I think Lennox Lewis is overrated.
How bout Ali beating Vitali Klitschko when he's at the end of his career?
How bout Lennox losing to Leon Spinks?
Lennox Lewis did not beat Vitaly Klitschko. Klitschko was kicking his ass. The doctor made the fight to be stopped. It was a bad stoppage.
Ali losing to Leon Spinks was when Ali was totally shot. And still, Leon had to fight the fight of his life.

Re: Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali
Lennox Lewis was getting his ass kicked abd was about to wilt in the next two rounds if the fight would have never been stopped. He was deeply grasping for air. He just got blessed, that is all.DrDuke wrote: ↑03 Nov 2020, 01:57Golota is more often underrated than overrated.elmersalsa wrote: ↑02 Nov 2020, 21:50 Yes, I can picture The Greatest knocking out Andrew Golota and Raz
Nonsense. It was an even fight. Everyone points at the judges' cards, but no one tries to see closer and notice a disagreement there. The fight could easily be scored 3-3 by rounds. Lewis was winning at the last stages. However, the craziest stuff is calling the stoppage bad, when Vitali's eye was in bloody mess.elmersalsa wrote: ↑02 Nov 2020, 21:50 Lennox Lewis did not beat Vitaly Klitschko.

Really? The 5th was close, in the 6th Vitali was barely standing from Lewis' uppercut.elmersalsa wrote: ↑03 Nov 2020, 15:55Lennox Lewis was getting his ass kicked abd was about to wilt in the next two rounds if the fight would have never been stopped.

Re: Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali
When he was still a mover, I think Ali would take a decison over Lewis.

Lewis is the best and the 90s the best era. Ernie Terrell would be like Ross Purity, maybe worse.

Re: Lennox Lewis vs Muhammad Ali
In my opinion, the Ali from Liston to Foley (His PRIME), beats Lewis by unanimous decision, and the scoring would not be real close. Lewis was a very good heavyweight. Ali was a great heavyweight. To make matters worse for Lewis, his style is wrong for Ali. A very good pressure fighter would give a prime Ali more problems than what the Lewis style brings to the fight.
