    Have you seen Lennox Lewis' uppercut? Because Usyk would.

    What southpaw Lewis has ever fought or beat??? Answer me that first. Manny Steward was keeping southpaws away from his fighters for a reason.

    Lewis was overated. Usyk might stop him

    Usyk was visibly stunned by a couple of Fury's uppercuts. Imagine what Lewis would do.

    It could go either way to be honest. Lewis did not have the greatest defense and i wonder how he would react to being hit with a southpaw left hand. Its a great punch and i am not sure if Lewis could cope with it.

    At the same time, Usyk would be dealing with a guy who hits harder than Joshua and has greater physical strength.

    50-50 fight. I might slightly favour the Usyk who beat Joshua in their first fight.

    I'm trying it on for size that I favour Usyk over any boxer past or present.

    So I went Usyk.

    :biggrin:

    Now Luf, you're getting carried away here.

    A decent scrap, but Lennox takes this.

    I am, but I don't care, I like it.

    Usyk is my pick and I stick with my pick therefore my pick does stick.

    That is undoubtedly a very sticky pick.

    And it's your pick.

    Lewis was stopped by McCall and Rachman, imagine what Usyk would do

    I like usyk, he's a very good boxer and more importantly he carries himself well, having said that I think if Lewis even clips him it's night night, Neither fury or Joshua hit as hard as Lewis and he was also a very good boxer. Southpaw or not I think Lewis will find a way to win

    Lewis is the GOAT heavy and GOAT H2H in my book, but I'm not writing Usyk off. Both of them can take this but if you were to put a gun to my head I would pick Lennox.
    Great fantasy match. What a show that would be.
