    Lewis, whilst beatable, would be difficult to beat over a trilogy. There is nobody I'd be very confident about.

    I often think if you created a hypothetical league of the 20 best HW's of the last 50yrs, each fighting each other home and away, Lewis would be in with a great shout of winning it overall...... although I don't rate him, even in my top 3 of that time scale.

    Vitali Klitschko

    Lewis aint gonna luck out with a cuts victory twice in a row, thats why he retired so early.

    Vitali would stand a good chance, given, not only his skills, iron chin and toughness, but his height and reach


    Most others Lewis would keep on the end of his jab and take them apart

    Vitali and Holmes are probably the best shouts

    I'd still favour Lewis though

    Prime Wlad and Vitali. Bowe at his best would also be trouble for Lewis.

    Have no clue why people are saying Vitali. TKO6 as the fight went on swung in past prime Lewis' favour as Vitali was getting increasingly timed. 3-0 Lewis.

    Ali would have the biggest shot in a trilogy.

    Well I've only seen the fight once and several years ago but all I remembered was Vitali had a good start but it faded as a visibly slow, past prime Lennox adjusted from what I remember.

    lol what's RIR37

    Watch it again and pay attention to everything. Especially Lewis' body language after that 6th round.

    And RIR37 means Ran Into Retirement At 37 ;)
