Lennox Lewis v Jack Johnson

Double L versus double J ?????

For purposes of balance, I thought I would make this thread.

Lennox 6' 5" 245lbs. Jack 6' 1/4" 208lbs.
I think this is a terrible matchup for Johnson, He would be conceding size, power, reach,and weight.

Jack liked to counter,waiting to catch you coming in,Lewis can win this without getting into a maul ,simply by boxing from outside.

Johnson would slip a lot of those jabs and catch them on his gloves , but would he be able to land with his own shots?

If Lewis elected to go inside I thnk he must be the master ,whatever Johnson's strength is estimated to have been I cannot see him out muscling Lewis.

Johnson liked a leisurely pace, Lewis too,usually, I just do not envisage
Johnson landing enough effective punches on the big man.

Fundamental to Johnsons failure imo, would be the fact that Lewis is nearly 5 inches taller ,thus Johnson's most potent weapon, his uppercut would be considerably negated.

I''ve no doubt Johnson would have his moments of smothering Lewis's punches,and possibly make the big man look rather raw and clumsy at times.
He would also have his success with the jab as others with worse jabs did with Lennox.

I just don't see Johnson getting home with enough meaningful punches to take a decision ,and he sure isn't koing Lewis. Jack probably has the ring smarts to survive till the final bell but he would know he had lost before the ref held up the Brit's hand.imo.

What say you?
P.S I rate Johnson considerably higher in the ATG list , he just doesn't get any of my money in this fight.

Entertainment wise, it would probably be a snoozer.

 

I'm sure we are all waiting with bated breath for the next thread that you start.

 

In answer to your facetious response.

My thread has the advantage of film footage and multiple reports of their fights.So a comparison can be drawn ,and an opinion arrived at.


I am lucky enough to own several rare and valued old time boxing books including Bells Book of Boxing ,so I have quite a bit of info on the likes of Figg, but the majority of fans would have no line of form to factor a comparison or even an idea of the physical size of Figg.

But you go ahead ,take the ****, its sure easier than contributing to threads with any meaningful input isnt it?
