Deontay Wilder vs Lennox Lewis

No chance is a bit strong. With that right hand, Wilder has a puncher's chance against anyone.

 

Has anyone here seen that YouTube footage from few years age when Wilder was WBC champion and Lennox showing him how to throw a JAB. I can’t remember where you access it. A retired champion TEACHING the reigning WBC champion how to throw a JAB. Lennox would ask him to fight John Ruiz in an elimination fight before even wasting his time with him.

 

Lewis would win unless Wilder puts him in orbit.

 

You mean the Fury that got put flat on his back by pillow fisted CW Steve Cunningham?

 

Wilder has no chance against Lewis. So no way of having a better one than Fury.

 

Deontay Wilder is one-dimensional and Lennox Lewis is multi-dimensional.
Wilder of course has a puncher's chance, but Lewis is too experienced, and well managed by Steward.
Lewis is also stronger in the clinch, and unlike Fury, he would show Wilder an uppercut.
I see Lennox Lewis winning a similar but longer fight than Michael Grant (not a second round knockout).

 

Wilder was put down and by some accounts got a long count vs a fighter with a losing record.

 

You're making me think of Rahman I. If Deontay landed like that Lewis would be at least borderline comatose.

I don't know, Lewis seemed like a much smarter fighter after getting his revenge...I could be wrong.

 

Wilder has a punchers chance against absolutely anybody throughout history.

Some people, especially those with the nostalgia tinted goggles, will find that hard to accept but it’s the cold hard truth

Lennox wins but if he comes in less than 100% prepared and isn’t fully switched on and on the ball then Rahman 2.0 can very easily happen

 

Lewis is a heavy favorite here and especially since he typically handled larger punchers very well. But as someone already mentioned wilder has a punchers chance

 

Wilder has a puncher's chance against virtually anyone.

The Lewis right hand would be the story of the fight for mine. He hits that much harder than Fury it isn't funny and he wouldn't need to beat the big dosser by accumulation. Peak Lewis was excellent defensively and he'd fight a careful fight until he found a home for that big right hand.

 

I don't know, I see Lewis putting on a surprisingly offensively destructive performance ending things asap as to allow Wilder no chance to land that right hand.

 

So do I, big time!

 

Wilder gets beat by the Brit.. Again.

 

Wilder is asleep by 6th or 7th. Seriously outboxed in the preceding rounds then hit hard with and sleeped by those classic Lennox power punches.
