Usyk would destroy Prime Lennox Lewis

The thing is, Lewis dropped the IBF belt after beating Tyson and pursuing a rematch with him, which was pointless. He ended up fighting Vitali, so fair play to him, but choosing a rematch with a shot Tyson who he just turned into a punching bag, instead of facing your number 1 contender (mandatory challenger as well), may be considered a duck.

 

But he dropped the belt AFTER he already fought Tyson and was eyeing a rematch with him, which was a completely pointless cash grab.

 

What does Toney's 2000s run have to do with the post-Klitschko era?
Martin and Stiverne accomplished very little in their own eras whereas Rahman won the championship by knocking out Lewis. So I don't see any basis for comparison. If they kayoed a prime Fury or Usyk that would be comparable to what Rahman did.

Povetkin won every single round against Donald on all the judges scorecards and stopped Byrd. Maybe you are confusing him with someone else?

 

usyk wins i say 8-4 9-3

 

Usyk got his ass beat by Shawn Porter though

 

Yeah but it sounds embarrassing when you remove context like you do with Lewis.

 

Be a fantastic mythical fight.

I stopped reading at page 2 as some responses come across as casual fans looking for a bite.

Lennox Lewis working off the jab against a another great technician like Usyk would simply imo come down to the judges and a tight decision either way, Lewis like Usyk a very good judge of range.

Be a fight for the purists.

 

Lewis has never been bullied by a midget welterweight. We can do this all night man.

 

Yeah but Lewis also took big shots from Bruno, Tua, Tyson, Vitali, Mercer and the like without folding. Bringing up these losses make no sense in any kind of context, especially when they’ve been both avenged brutally. It doesnt prove that Usyk is better or that Lewis is glass-chinned, and I say this as someone who has Usyk above Lewis in h2h. Its as valid as Usyk getting slapped around by lil Timmy.

 

Lewis is the one whose power is a factor here, I don’t think even you would deny that. I get that Usyk is your bf and everything but you don’t need to project and bring up irrelevant points to defend him whenever he is mentioned, your argument doesnt even make any sense here.

Lewis has never been KO’d by a long range point-fighter either, the point is that one of them is known to hit like a truck and the other is a point-fighter, the guy who goes for the KO more has a higher chance of getting it, I dont see whats wrong about people predicting a KO win for Lennox goddamn Lewis of all people, whats next, Foreman shouldnt be predicted to win by KO? Wladimir?

McCall always looked like that when he was getting slapped around.
