Great video as always Rummy. I think Lewis would be undisputed in this era simply because he beat everybody he ever faced. In this world of rematches Lewis wins every time. Having Steward in your corner and overseeing your training doesn't hurt either.
Lewis could do very well indeed. The only problem with him is that he could blow hot and cold. He'd be the guy who blasts everybody out, looks unbeatable ... and then gets faceplanted by a guy like Dubois.
The only threat to Lennox in this era is Usyk. Fury, Joshua, and Dubois all get flattened. Usyk would make it messy, technical, and could probably pot shot and make it frustrating, I'd still fancy Lewis to get to him at some point though, this era is nothing in comparison. David Tua and Andrew Golota would be a nightmare for the current crop of heavyweights, never mind Lennox.
Lewis can lose like he has in his career, but at his best? He beats all these guys I'd pick pick the best lewis over every hw today 100%
I'd expect Lewis to beat everybody except maybe Usyk. Don't have much reference for how Lewis would do against a smaller outboxer type, let alone a southpaw one. Think Usyk could end up proving too coordinated for him similarly to the Joshua and Fury fights. Zhang could also have a good chance at catching him coming in, not sure if Lewis could take the same kind of shots that Kabayel did to get up close and rough him up. He'd have to replicate what Parker did, which may prove harder than expected due to Lewis being bigger and slower.
The shot Lewis that beat Vitali TKO6 would beat everyone except Usyk. Prime Lewis would beat this old Usyk... Knackered Lewis against this old Usyk, who knows. Prime Lewis against prime Usyk? Why would prime Lewis fight a CW?
Prime Lewis beats prime usyk, because prime usyk wasn't hw, or so everyone says I'd favour lennox from the late 90s to handle usyk. Holyfield I'd favour too, but not with certainty
Ha, I'd edited to say pretty much this just before you posted! Idk about Holyfield... The headbutts would annoy Usyk for sure, it'd be a hell of a fight at either weight in fairness.
Usyk is more skilled, but Holyfield is a dog, very skilled and dirty Them fighting as cw and at hw would be 2 dream fantasy fights. I think they would beat each other. Usyk may beat everyone Holyfield has beaten (not certain), but I am pretty certain Holyfield beats every guy usyk has faced. Or are we going to seriously suggest that Fury, breidis and Aj can beat Holyfield? I think it's a pickem Lewis I have to favour over everyone today
