Lewis makes Wilder look like an amateur chump. Easily defends against the wild swings. Lewis finds a home for his power punches and ends it before round 6. It'll be slightly more competitive than Grant...
And both caught an either green pre Steward Lewis or an untrained Super star Lewis who was in Ocean eleven And I know being under trained is Lewis' fault but then he KO'ed Rahman easily in the rematch
Yes either green or untrained and by traditional punchers. Not windmill swings. Lewis at his best, either Tua or Golota imo, Wilder would be lucky to escape the 1st round in either of those fights
Lewis fought Tua, Ruddock, Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Briggs, Holyfield, and Vitali in addition to those two fighters. Those are world class punchers. The point is: Lewis fought plenty of punchers. It takes more than just a big punch to stop Lewis. It takes skill, as well. Every one of the above mentioned fighters (with the possible exception of Briggs) has far more skill than Wilder. If Lewis takes a fight with Wilder seriously, he would annihilate Wilder in a few rounds.
You need to understand it was not his chin that was the problem, other factors like in Rahman fight he bounced off the ropes and crosses his legs over meaning he was off balance when the punch landed with no defense or base. The maccall loss was stopped premature at 7 on his feet, This content is protected
The point is he was knocked spark out by two fighters that aren't as good as the list you mentioned. History did show Lewis could be flattened by average contenders.
world-class [ˈˌwərld ˈˌklas] ADJECTIVE (of a person, thing, or activity) of or among the best in the world. "a world-class player" · [more] I guess this an argument more about semantics than boxing, but I submit that when Rachman and McCall fought Lewis they were among the best in the world as far as punching power.
