    Very easy I don't think so ... but if I *had* to put money down it would be on Lennox

    But then how much of a brawler was Lewis?

    If Holmes fights like vs Holy 1, it's going to be tough for Holmes.

    Holmes only fought Holyfield once didn't he?

    The big difference is that Lewis can hurt Holmes, but Holmes has the speed and workrate.

    Holmes wins a close decision probably.

    Lennox was out jabbed by slower and shorter reached than Larry Ray Mercer close to Lennox's prime. If Larry stuck to his game plan, I think he would beat Lennox on a decision.
