    Lewis turns it into a brawl and wins by stoppage.

    Lennox was a spiteful puncher and very good on the inside.

    I went with Lewis but it’s hardly a forgone conclusion and most certainly not an easy fight

    As long as Fury is on his game, he lasts longer than Michael Grant did.

    People rave about Fury’s speed but Lennox was just as fast yet more skilled.

    Lewis wins this. He's simply better than Fury is. Fury does have a better set of whiskers and he could catch Lennox and knock him out but, if he doesn't, he loses a decision. If they fought ten times I have The Lion winning seven of them.

    Lewis was just too good...even the Lewis that lost twice was better than Fury ever was. On an off day for Lennox, Fury loses a clear UD. If Lennox is on in a Rahman II way, Fury doesn't see the 11th round.

    As in, it’s just not popular anymore and hasn’t been for decades. They play football or basketball.

    Lewis wins any way he wants to, either UD or TKO.

    Well, honestly if he survives wicked shots from Wilder he’s not going down to Lennox, Wilder landing said shots raises questions… but presuming he keeps up his mummer prince Naz routine he could potentially peck with Lennox to a close one. If this turns into a fight I’m going with the bigger more durable of these two in Fury, Fury knows how to wear a guy down and Lennox didn’t have great stamina, chin or particularly a complex style for Fury to exploit, but we’d have to see this one.

    Lewis by decision tho a stoppage isn't totally out of the question. He's a half level better and his right hand will be damaging in this one.

    LL, better boxer, powerful puncher, better mover and a higher tier fighter.

    both could be wobbled, but Fury has never even faced any fighter who ranks near LL's level...

    LL WINS, and probably by Stoppage.

    Lewis by early KO.

    Along the lines of the Ruddock, Golota and Grant fights.
