    I would have liked to see this fight. Sanders was a big southpaw with power and fast hands.

    Lennox would have ended his career.

    How many southpaws did Lewis fight?

    the version who couldn't get in contention when prime, fit for 12 rounds and strong, getting destoryed on his way up by 2nd tier contender Rahman?
    Lewis would make quicker work than Rahman, perhaps 5 rounds.


    or the version who when retired faded, unconditioned for more than 3 rounds and unsuitable for national level boxing, killed wlad in seconds?
    Even less time, perhaps 2 rounds.

    Its academic, since neither version was good enough to get close to a genuine world title shot.

    Lewis.

    Sanders power gets inflated a bit by the Klitschko fans. Rahman who got poleaxed more times than I can count managed to take the left hand, weather the storm and eventually stop Sanders late. Lewis would do the same.

    Lewis is a 2 time Olympic medalist. I think he deserves the benefit of doubt here.

    The Lewis that showed up vs Rahman would have been knocked out.

    aha by tripping over rahmans KOed body? welcome to planet K.

    no doubt "Corrie's ref" would push Lewis over rahman, as he "tripped" wlad too.

    Rambling pish as usual from you.


    Btw the Lewis that showed up vs the Zagreb grocer would also have been Ko' d by K2 Sanders.

    A switched on Lennox Lewis beats any heavyweight of all time for me. Big statement I know but when Lennox had something to prove he was a beast. Don't ever sleep on sanders though
