I think Ali would have beaten Lee. Lee wasn't a fighter. He had a minor boxing career early on, but was more of a movie star than a professional fighter. Ali could take a pounding.
Lee was fast, but light. Ali was much faster than you think and hit hard. He was also quite capable of ducking a punch. Watch his fights and see just how fast he could move out of the way of a punch.
To get close enough to Ali to land a blow would put Lee withing reach of Ali and that would not end well for Lee. The notion that one punch or kick from Lee would drop Ali is wishful thinking. One solid hit from Ali would have put Lee on the ground, though.
