I would favor focused Fury to beat focused Lennox, but Lewis definitely would have had better chances against Fury than most ATG heavyweights, in my opinion.
I don'y Fury has anything like the power to hurt Lewis and he'd survive on the backfoot but lose a lopsided decision. And I'm a big Fury fan.
Lewis resume of notable wins: Hollyfield, Tyson, Vitali, Tua, Mercer, Golota, Briggs, Bruno,Rahman, Morrison, Grant, Tucker, Botha and Ruddock. Fury's notable wins: Wlad, Chisora x 2 and Wilder.
Yes 100% I could do the same, stick up Tyson Fury getting dropped by Cunningham and say "if Cunningham can drop him like this, then Lewis sparks him". Or a video of John McDemott getting robbed against Fury, Wallin giving Fury a nightmare.. Sure Lewis got beaten twice.. But Lewis avenged both defeats, Lewis would have beaten Fury. Fury, Wilder and AJ are bang average.
Wait! Lewis lost twice?!?! By knockout? I'm going to have to reassess everything. Thanks for the heads up....
Agree, apart from the Fury being bang average part. I think his size, durability and movement are a problem for a lot of HWs from other eras.
Yeah I suppose that's fair, style wise he could have been tricky but I just don't see Lewis, Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield or even prime K brothers not beating Fury. Fury just doesn't punch hard enough in my opinion.
