    Focused Lewis? Wow, that would be a destruction. Lewis by KO in 4 in very one-sided fight

    Lennox is too big for Dempsey... and too good. Lennox beat Mike Tyson (who studies Dempsey and used the same head movement techniques, and who was far more gifted athletically and a better boxer than Dempsey) and would have no problem beating Dempsey by KO.

    Even though he loved him, Mike fought nothing like Dempsey.

    They both fought on the inside and used rolls to get inside.
    Mike Tyson was more of a beast, thick bodied and way faster and more athletic than Dempsey and Lennox beat him (although Mike wasn't in his prime)
    Lennox could easily KO Dempsey, especially under modern rules. Dempsey would not be strong enough to beat him.
    Can't tell if you are trolling by picking Dempsey in 1 or not... lol

    Lennox would gut Jack like a fish it wouldn’t be competitive in the slightest primitive small come forward swarmer against a master class boxer with thunder in both hands and the brute strength of a lion paired with Emanuel Steward In his corner?

    Silly thread

    Agreed but Cus after all took from Dempsey what worked to Patterson and what worked with Patterson he took to Tyson.

    I can’t see any viable argument for favoring Dempsey.

    Lennox Lewis by KO

    To be fair, Lewis beat the ghost of Tyson. The Tyson of 2002 and the Tyson of 1988 might as well had been 2 different entities.
