Now this is not at all comparing careers because Lewis, even had he faced and beat every good fighter of his era, just wouldn't have had the record of an Ali! In the 90's the competition wasn't and still isn't there.
What I'm asking is do you think stylistically a big long athletically gifted fighter, like Lewis, would've given Ali fits and do you think Ali's ring savvy and boxing intelligence could have solved the puzzle of a fighter with more length and general athleticism?
I have a hard time imagining a Prime Ali would have lost to any boxer of any era but I think Lennox definitely poses some of the more interesting problems style's wise........
Also thanks for the responses on the Prime Foreman vs Prime Tyson thread!!!!!
