Given that Lewis didn't turn pro until he was almost 24, I would say Itauma winning is the most likely conclusion.
Kind of a silly comparision as Lennox hadn't won the Olympics until he was almost 23. Also even if the stoppage was complete BS - Lennox had fought Riddick Bowe too.
This is an interesting thread, not least because Itauma's style and mobility, and power, reminds me of a young Lewis. I am not yet jumping on the wagon, not even after the Whyte fight. We need a solid, prime, top 10 heavyweight to test the kid before I would favour him against Lewis, one of the best heavyweights ever, at whatever age.
At this age Lewis was imbetween Olympics, almost exactly. So he was still losing to people nowhere near as good as Itauma. Itauma by ko
He lost to Tyrell Biggs in the 1984 Olympics I believe he was 19 then ? You can have a gander yourself to see what a 19/20 year old Lewis looks like in the ring. This content is protected
