    Seriously? Walcott lost to fighters far inferior to Lewis.

    A couple nifty dance moves (mostly useless shuffles that impress only neophytes) are not going to diminish Lewis' advantages in reach, size, power and well... excellence.

    Walcott lost to guys he fought during period of off an on fighting, and taking bouts on short notice. When in shape, he could handle anyone. He would get to Lewis, and outbox him, or ko him.

    I don't know how well Charles did agianst bigger guys, as for Archie Morre, he showed many times he could handle them well.

    Let me tell you guys what will happen.

    Basically the same thing that will happen to a Prime Lennox in today's heavyweight era.

    He will start out hungry as **** and fully motivated, only to realize that he can beat every body around him with only a 65% work rate and 63% Effort.

    He will probably go up to 30-0, before becoming lazy and fat, get knocked out by some random, come back and kill that guy in the rematch.

    Finish up at 48-1

    Lewis is my favorite fighter, but he is EXTREMELY Lazy. He don't have any bad hobbies like drugs or hookers or booze, what he does have is an addiction to be lazy.

    an addiction to sleep and rolling around in the tall grass like a ****ing fat African Lion that just ate a whole zebra.

    Lennox Lewis will drop ONE in any era, due to lack of motivation.

    A fully motivated Lennox Lewis, on 100% of the time, goes through ANY era undefeated.

    He'd beat them with ease.

    Charles is too small and was on the way down by the time he faced Marciano.

    Moore has no chance.

    Walcott could beat Lewis but its far from the most likely outcome. Lennox wins at least 8 out of 10 against Jersey Joe.

    I think lewis goes undefeated, the only fighters to give him trouble would be Walcott and the old Louis.

    Yes he did lose to inferior fighters than Lewis.
    Im in the middle of reading Walcotts bio and he took so many fights on short notice and with next to nothing to eat. Im not saying he would beat Lewis say 3 out of 3 times but I favor an in shape Walcott to win.

    Haven't read through the thread but Walcott is a terrible matchup for old Lenny.

    Would feint Lewis into knots and make him look like a bumbling caveman. That fights a tossup imo, put a good to my head I'd probably say Lewis. maybe

    I don't think Charles has the physical tools to compete with Lewis the way Joe does. He'd make it interesting though.

    I hate this guy Robert Ungurean, he is a disgrace to Sonny Liston fans like myself.
