    Lewis fought for Canada at the olympics after moving there from Britain at the age of 12.

    Fury is far harder to hit than Akinwande was and Ruiz would have destroyed Henry unless he held all night.

    I don't include his fights against Hall, Choynski and O'Brien in his HW resume since both participanats in those fight were under HW limit. Fitzimmons was exceptional P4P fighter, probably top 10 of all time, but his HW resume isn't very deep. Still better than Haye's or Bruno's and far better than Akinwande's, but not deep enought to put him ahead of Joshua

    The point is, if Fitz is in then surely Bugner is out? Is Akinwande in if Lewis is etc

    Back then anything above MW was under HW limit, so last Hall fight along with Choynski are definitely HW bouts.

    Take Lewis out, and all you have got is a sea of uninspiring British heavy weights really.
