    Ruiz's clinching skills were ATG worthy.

    Is this the same Lewis that struggled with Mercer and Bruno?

    Interesting argument. I don't think his record would be too dissimilar to what it is now. He'd definitely get lazy in at least one fight, probably two, maybe three or four considering he'd probably be fighting more often. I'd expect him to avenge the loses at some point later down the line, but not too dissimilar from his actual record. If we're talking a prime Lennox Lewis in every single fight, there's no one I'd favour, however I think Dempsey has a decent chance, although Lewis power, jab and footwork may be too far too much for Demspey too coast to a decision, but Jack's power, work rate and pressure for 15 whole rounds could spell trouble for Lewis

    Yes.

    In fact you could bet your life savings on it.
