Lennox Lewis would be ahead of Ali, for sure.

I wouldn't consider that version of JCC a murderous puncher.
On reputation he was, but it was a very old and shopworn JCC that was staring across the ring from Oscar De La Hoya I do agree.

That is right. I forgot about 'The Indian Rubber Ball', no more than 157 pounds the man was a freak of nature in his ability to take a punch. He put out a $10,000 challenge to ANYONE being able to knock him out. He fought Jack Johnson, Bob Fitzsimmons, Sam McVey, Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford, Kid Norfolk, Joe Blackburn, Tommy Burns, etc. and I think only one ever managed to do it.
