    I think it’s a no-brainer, Lewis would make quick work of each. Fury might last the longest but just wouldn’t have enough to keep him off. AJ and Wilder don’t have the chins to beat Lewis, they have the power but, Lewis always found a way to land some big shots, most dangerous when hurt…

    Ortiz might give Lewis the most trouble, similar to Ray Mercer, but Lewis would still be a heavy favorite in my book. I would also favor Vitali over each of the current crop…

    I don’t mean to take anything away from this group, they may still yet prove to be under-rated at this point…Lewis showed some flaws at this point in his career too but, he proved to be an atg…I think he would be a heavy favorite against the current HW crop…

    What do you think?

    Lewis was good, but 1 on 3 simply isn't fair.

    I think Pianeta and the bogeyman Dillian Whyte could beat him, i think that's a no brainer and i don't know about
    the other bunch.

    Unless he ****ed up and decided to spend the week prior on a yacht in the Med with Charlie Sheen, drinking and snorting coke off the delectable asses of would-be starlets (which is entirely possible) LL ktatfo on the same night.

    Lewis wins all 3 by KO.

    And i'd expect Fury to be the easiest win, as his power is non-existent at elite level.

    I think AJ would get it the worst because he`d try to brawl LL and catch that long jab to the face all night and eventually catch that jackhammer right hand and itd be over.

    Lol, agree a few more from the current crop might be needed to take Lewis down :)

    Lennox Lewis is an ATG - he would most likely beat them all. Wilder got the power to knock anyone out with a lucky punch. Joshua can hurt anyone, and is a great boxer at the same time. Fury might be the best and fastest boxer of the three, but he doesn't have the same power.

    Lewis - Wilder: 85/15 - 90/10
    Lewis - Fury: 80/20 - 85/15
    Lewis - Joshua: 70/30 - 75/25

    Lewis is just levels above all of them. I could see Lewis jumping on all of them early that's what he liked to do against other big men like Golota and Grant he gives them no chance to get going.

    I think Lennox was a legit ATG, and he whips all 3 rather easily. Wilder might be the only one with a chance if he caught Lewis with one of those right hand windmills.

    Lennox KO's all 3. I think Wilder might be the more dangerous one for him though. Fury may cause a few problems early on but Lennox will adapt and take him out.

    I've got Lewis beating all three.

    He'd have to adjust to Fury's awkwardness and reach but he'd find a way to break him down.

    Wilder he'd beat but there is a chance he'd could get caught with the right hand.

    He beats Jenner more convincingly that he beat Bruno without breaking much of a sweat.

    Fantasy fights like this arent really fair until the current fighters careers are over.

    Indeed, if we put the Lewis from McCall 1 or even the Frank Bruno fight up against a "prime" Wlad obviously itd be a landslide for Wlad.

    Truth is we just won't know until these guys careers are over and we can look back objectively.

    Clearly favor him against those 3, but there's always the chance either Joshua or Wilder would lay him out if he's careless against them.
