'David Haye would have been lucky to last 2 rounds with me' - Lennox Lewis

[FrochFan]

Ive been saying this forever on the Bscene boards but people thought I was joking.

Lennox does not want anybody else to beat Vitali!!!

Maybe the first year he was rooting against him, but since Vitali's comeback in 2008, Lennox has become his biggest fan. Every dominant win by Vit makes Lennox look stronger and enhances the legacy of both fighters. Now that Haye has become a legit threat, Lennox is now talking sh*t about Haye. Im not surprised.

I think that too but would say Lennox would stop Haye in the 5-7 vice second. Lewis takes way more risks than Wlad and has the better chin. In conclusion, Gaye is getting KTFO by an ATG circa round 6-- and notice I said an ATG, nothing for Gaye to be ashamed of here.

Thats maybe true! David haye amires lennox lewis and would admit himself that he would have lost to him if they fought prime for prime!
But for lennox to say i would have knocked haye out in 2 rounds... there is some tension and jealousy from lennox side building up

Unlike Wlad, Lewis would actually engage Haye and take him out. Of course, I doubt he would run full on at Haye and risk taking a Hayemaker, so it likely goes 4-6 rounds.

I don't know out long Haye lasts against Lewis, but he would have had the shit beat out of him.

Just imagine he comes back and fights Haye.

Lennox never really fought counterpunchers so it's hard for me to even say Lennox has an easy time with Haye. Chances are Lennox wins on points, but I wouldn't bet on him catching Haye.

I don't think it was a matter of fear or anything like that, but Lennox was matched well when you consider he never fought southpaws, didn't fight the only real elusive guy on the scene (Byrd), didn't fight counterpunchers, and didn't fight spoilers (Ruiz). Lennox was awesome against sluggers who stood in front of him.

How that translates to him facing Haye is anyone's guess. I'd favor him on points, but the potential is there that Haye surprises and Lennox may have a stylistic weakness there. We don't know either way.

I think Lewis would have had trouble with Haye, depending on how his toe is of course.

There is also a very real danger of Haye landing on Lewis' marshmallow chin.

Bit strange that these comments come a couple weeks after both these guys were out on the town with each other.

[Ted Stickles]

I think Lewis would have destroyed Haye....so 2 rounds to me does not seem like just talk.

[Boxing Fanatic]

hmm. would have been interesting to watch
