    Discuss.
    can Deontay Wilder exploit Lewis's leaky chin? can Lewis overcome Wilder's right hand eraser? Who would win in this battle of these two big heavyweights?

    The Hail Mary shot is an overused boxing hypothetical, but I think it’s applicable here, considering Wilder can punch, and Lewis got flattened twice by big shots. That would be Wilder’s only hope, though. Against Lewis at his very best, he might make it six or seven rounds

    Come on mate. Think up more competitive fantasy fights like Lewis v Tony Bellew.

    Bit too generous to Wilder. Good chance Lewis finishes him when they touch gloves

    Finkel would shut the door on any further negotiations with Lewis and refuse to answer his phone calls and emails. This is Lennox Lewis we are talking about not Frank Smith from the Pizza Parlour.

    Only way Wilder beats Lewis is if Lewis shows up in poor shape and with a lackadaiscal mental attitude like he did in the Rahman fight and even then it's a 50/50 fight and down to who lands first.

    But Lewis even not at 100% KO's Wilder with ease. Lewis has the reach advantage for one which Wilder isn't used too, Lewis had very long arms even for his height. Wilder couldn't handle Washington's jab how does he cope with the even longer, faster, harder and vastly superior jab of Lewis. Lewis in terms of boxing skills is on another level, Lewis would shut out guys like Washington, Szplika and Ortiz before KOing them he wouldn't drop round after round to them like Wilder.

    Even if Wilder just goes for the KO, he's in against a superior offensive machine from all ranges. He can't beat the rangier Lewis on the outside and on the inside he gets mauled badly like Grant did. No way a 220-228lbs Wilder can handle the size and strength of a 245lbs Lewis. Lewis rag dolls him on the inside and pulls him down into an uppercut like the one that hurt Vitali, difference is Wilder doesn't have a granite chin, one Lewis uppercut and Wilder gets stretchered out of the ring.

    It would look almost identical to Lewis vs Grant.

    Lewis is top 3 best heavyweights ever, Wilder is not on that level.

    Yep that's what I suspect, a Grant like mauling and an early KO.

    Best case scenario for Wilder is if Lewis comes in cocky and over confident and tries to just blow him out early looking to land bombs and neglecting his jab like he did vs Briggs. So even then Wilder might have a good first round but then get brutally KO'ed. He probably doesn't even last 5 rounds like Briggs did, Briggs had a decent chin when he wasn't having an asthma attack unlike Wilder.

    If Leeeeeeeewww landed the Vitali uppercut Deontay's head would start orbiting the planet
