    In the late 90s he could have still beaten all three. Early 2000’s it gets tougher

    Absolutely. Wilder would be sitting there, waiting for a Lewis right cross. Maybe Lennox would disguise it until the second round.

    He most likely beats all 3. In terms of winning a competitive fight Wlad has the best chance and in terms of winning in an upset while down on the cards, Wilder may be able to hit that infamous right hand between punches and ko him but the most likely outcome is a rounds 4 to 5 ko for Lennox, too good.

    Lewis would be wary of Wilder and it’s certainly a fight that would have his alarm bells ringing, mainly because of Deontay’s dangerous power with the right hand. So expect Lewis to be in the zone and in sync. I just feel Lewis is too good technically for Wilder, and he’d certainly go straight to him and be authoritative. Which would almost certainly see Wilder backed up and be like a fish out of water in the process. Wilder needs to get set and have everything underneath him before getting off—bad balance. Lewis inside 3.

    Wlad might be the toughest one. He had such a good judgement of distance and also had a terrific jab. But fought tame often. He’d be the one happy with turning it into a boxing match. Lewis could match him in that regard but had that little bit more, especially on the inside. By no means an easy night’s work for Lewis but he’d the one forcing it more and letting his hands go. Lewis KO 10.

    Fury, awkward too, but in a different way. Not as rigid as Wlad; more slippery and harder to read. I just feel as though Lewis would be the one forced into being the aggressor here. And he’d step towards Fury with his own jab. Aggressive boxing. Lewis, more well-rounded. Fury, at best, could perhaps wobble Lewis. But I’d opt for Lewis during the mid-rounds. KO.

    Wilder is dangerous…-ish Wlad could win it, I actually suspect he would, Lennox never liked a good jab and that power… 50-50 - I’d interested to see Fury go full ogre on LL and try to smother him to death, boxing him won’t work, Fury’s boxing is mostly a mirage.

    Not sure he’s “too strong” for Wlad… Wilder yeah, Fury would be hard to steer, heavy not strong but when you’re wrestling there’s little difference lol and Fury is pretty good at it in a boxing way.

    I'm taking Lennox against all 3.i think he'd demolish Wilder in the same fashion he did with Grant. Fury and Wlad would be tough assignments.

    There's a reason that Lewis was cheering so hard for Sanders to beat Wlad, and it isn't because he thought he'd easily beat Klitschko.
