Boxing: Floyd Mayweather Believes Lennox Lewis Would Have Beaten Prime Muhammad Ali

Undefeated former world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr named Lennox Lewis as the one heavyweight who would have defeated a prime Muhammad Ali. Mayweather made the selection during a 'Winner Stays On' feature for the Daily Mail, where he evaluated several hypothetical dream match-ups between legendary heavyweight boxers.

Before picking Lewis over Ali, Mayweather also selected the former undisputed champion over Tyson Fury. Writer Ashley Whiteway notes that Lewis's career résumé, which includes victories over Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Vitali Klitschko, likely influenced Mayweather's decision.
