I think Ali has a better resume. But in hypothetical fantasy all time tournament terms, Lewis would be my favourite to win the whole thing.
did they? I wouldn't know, bruno and cooper were and are beloved, back in the 80's the boxing mags used to say they only wanted loveable losers over there rather than a real winner, lewis proved that.The brits claimed him when he had earned the right to call himself the best.
no way, Ali in the sixties was not only mobile as hell, he was hard to hit and he could set a pace that no one can match, especially an oversized heavyweight. Lewis was smart though and would have made it interesting, probably try a lot of charging the young ali with not enough punches landed. Ali by decision, unanimous.I think Ali has a better resume.

Nobody ever said his resume comes close to Ali. And btw, Lewis's size, skill level at that size, and power in both hands would tool any one of the guys you mentioned (minus Foreman). Most of them by KO. Shit there was even a discussion around here about Lennox and Ali splitting a 10 fight series down the middle...Liston, Patterson, Moore, Williams, Terrell, Fraizer, Ellis, Foster, Norton, Foreman, Lyle, Young, Shavers
Seriously... Lewis record isn't even close to that.
