Lennox Lewis vs Deontay Wilder?

lennox knocks him out cold in less than 5.

 

Rahman and McCall had something Deontay never possessed....actual boxing skills.

 

I won't make Wilder a favorite in this fight but Lewis would get hit in fights. If Wilder launches that right hand at lightening speed from range, can Lewis take it?

Wilders right hand is lightening fast and with massive leverage, opponents are routinely surprised at how fast it is

 

Whether they are or they aren't, you are implying that Deontay Wilder is not durable and doesn't have a good chin, which is hogwash!

 

Lewis' chin probably couldn't take it to be honest. But not many could Wilder is a huge puncher.

But that really isn't the issue for Wilder. Can Wilder land that right hand? He telegraphs the punch a lot which is why he takes several rounds if not more to land it against good opponents like Fury and Ortiz, he has to wait for them to tire and make mistakes to be able to land that right hand because it's so easy to see it coming.

And can Wilder even let that right hand go let alone land it if he's pushed onto the back foot. Wilder can't throw the big right hand on the back foot, he has to be set to throw it and with Fury pushing him back in the 2nd fight all the time he was rarely in a position to throw it with any real power.

So it doesn't matter if Wilder can KO Lewis if he lands the right hand because one he will struggle to land it and will struggle to even throw it vs an aggressive Lewis. Plus once Lewis lands his own right hand, I don't see Wilder getting up like he did vs Fury, Lewis hit's a lot, lot harder than Fury. If Fury can have Wilder that hurt with his right hand, Lewis' right would have have him down for the full 10 count.

 

Repeat of Lewis v Golota/Grant

 

Agreed. Lewis will be the aggressor in this fight and will look to take Wilder out early and wear him down. Outside a lucky punch don't see Wilder winning.

This is a mismatch, like Jorge Luis Gonzalez vs Riddick Bowe LOL. He would get manhandled and destroyed. Wilder has a punchers chance.
