Lennox is a great boxer and all, but he's not a H2H beast. He has a weak chin, knocked out by 2 bums. I see the Fury/Usyk fight and I just thought, how would Lennox survive Usyk's shots? Usyk is more slick than a bum Hasim Rahman. Vitali Klitschko, who is an ATG H2H, had Lennox on ***** street without much technique. I see the current heavyweights and I laugh at anyone who thinks Lennox doing anything to Usyk. You don't win fights against Usyk with a bum chin, Usyk fought bigger punchers than Lennox (like Anthony Joshua) with no knockdowns. Bro would get KO'D.
Destroy is a big word. I think Usyk could win, but I'm not sure I'd even favour him over a good version of Lewis.
Apart from Dubois, Usyk didn't destroy any of the top heavyweights, so him destroying Lewis is really a big assumption. If Usyk wins (it's a 50/50 fight for me) it's very likely by decision.
The concept of the post is definitely accurate, Usyk having an easy time and Lewis having a 'bum chin'. I'm not convinced Usyk stops Lewis but definitely convinced he 'destroys' him in that it's not competitive. But absolutely Lewis could get KO'd. How do we know? AJ almost was and he has a better chin.
This isn't a good start... Prime Vitali went 50/50 with shot Lewis... Then lost on cuts. If you're going to rate Vitali highly, you can't possibly not hold Lewis much higher up the list. In all honesty, if Fury had fought Lennox's resume he'd have had a lot more than two knockout losses... He got knocked down by lesser fighters several times, including barely making the count against a glorified bumfighter who was no better than Rahman. I think it'd be competitive, but Lewis would be favourite in my book - if not by much, I rate Usyk very highly.
Lewis was underrated in his prime but is overrated now, great hypothetical fight where anyone sure of the result is a fool.
Destroy is absolutely insane....................I could see a scenario that leads to Lennox possibly losing to Usyk. But I can see multiple scenarios that lead to Lennox winning by stoppage or on points............. Lennox would destroy Usyk before Usyk destroyed him
I think the most likely outcome is Usyk points. But in a fight that went beyond 12 rounds, I'm confident that Usyk would be more likely to get the KO because Lewis didn't have great stamina, IQ or durability and never stopped anyone past 8.
