Lennox vs Today's Top 10 Heavyweights

Fury gets mauled, these comments will be funny in 15 years when the next great heavyweight has way more than 3 names on his record

 

Would pick him to beat Fury but did Lennox have possible issues with guys taller than him? Was Vitali the only guy he fought who was taller than him?

 

He was in seek and destroy mode against Akinwande, Henry held on for dear life and got disqualified

 

In these last stretches of his career Fury managed to annoy me a lot, too. And he legitimately lost twice against Usyk. But the Fury that beat Klitschko has a realistic chance of beating Lewis. He is not easy to find and he can take a shot and moves very well to not give his opponent a good position to strike. Lewis would not be heavier or taller. I doubt he could rush Fury very well. And his output is not the highest. Lewis has the way better jab, but fury moves better and might have an advantage on punching frequency and rhythm.
I'm just saying don't put fury down too much after a few years of everyone hyping him a bit too much (even though he was clearly the top heavy at that point before usyk arrived). He was really good

 

Agree with this Markus.

 

Fury gets underrated on here he is deceptively a lot better than he looks sometimes. Say what you want about the Fury's but they always have a game plan in the big fights he would be ready for an early attempted ambush from Lewis.

 

Fury gets stopped bro there's a reason he avoided fighting top guys back to back

 

People love to overlook the fact that he got one-punched twice by less than stellar opposition.
What this means is, it is absolutely possible he would get KO'd by punchers in this period, opponents like AJ and Dubious, and definitely a guy like Zhang a few years ago. Others also.

So people pretending he'd just cruise through are not being rational.
Not only is it possible he gets KO'd by punchers now, it is actually likely someone like Dubious would land and finish him. If Briggs could have him in trouble, do you really believe Dubious couldn't?

Matches with average punchers are a little different, but Lewis had overrated skills and a bad engine, he was sloppy and likely wouldn't get away with a lot of stuff now. Definitely he never faced people like Fury/Usyk in the boxing-skill department. Vitali doesn't count as he doesn't have those skills. So whether the power could compensate we'll never know. But what we do know is that Fury/Usyk have faced big hitters and come through.

I'm not the biggest fan of AJ but honestly I can't see Lewis beating Wlad that night after getting bombed by the RH. I don't think Lewis would have continued after that. And I would give AJ the edge in the clash with Lewis because AJ likely hits harder, is less sloppy and probably has a better chin. I think AJ is actually smarter too, which is a tough thing to write.

 

@Rumsfeld another well done video. I also think Lewis could and mostly would beat them all. Usyk, of course, being the man who could possibly tame The Lion. That being said, when you look at the way Lewis suffered his two defeats, I have to give Zhang and Joshua the proverbial puncher's chance to put Lewis down for the count.

 

It's Lewis and Usyk and the rest don't matter.

 

Usyk beats Lewis, explain at least why Lewis is better than Usyk? losses to McCall and Rahman, and a questionable win against Mercer...

 

I think Lewis is the most complete super heavyweight ever, on his night could beat anyone and his uppercuts, sledge hammer 1-2 and offense will threaten Usyk.... but losses to McCall and Rahman are just embarrassing. Usyk would never lose that way

 

You always pick whoever’s facing Usyk as the favorite...

 

Could Kabayel do a Mercer performance?

 

He ain't exactly Quasimodo, you know...
