How would Lennox do in modern bareknuckle boxing competitions?

  1. Lennox clobbers everybody

    I invite those who (like me) put inordinate emphasis on different rules to consider this inconvenient scenario:

    How would you like the chances of a prime Lennox Lewis in the modern bareknuckle competitions -- BKFC in the States, and BKB in Britain?

    Discuss.

    I wonder which fighters would be described as having glass hands

    These guys are not big guys mostly, at least no over here. Don't know anything about the American one.

    Six footers mostly, would get clobbered.

    Yes, OP has seen same, and OP agrees with perceptive post from Mona Lisa Avatar Poster.

    EDIT: At least as far as the poor quality of BKFC/BKB goes.

    The great Lennox Lewis would leave a trail of destruction and mutilation in his wake. It will be deemed the day of reckoning.

    And the survivors of the chaos will then try to contact the top scientists of the world and ask them to go back in time and grab prime Hasim Rahman and prime Oliver Mccall to seal Lewis away

    From what little I've seen the scoring is absolute garbage, and rewards wild swings that miss. That's not his style at all, so he'd probably lose a lot of decisions.
