    I think Norton would frustrate Fury with his style.

    Does Lennox Lewis qualify as a "classic" fighter?

    I don't see Fury doing too well vs a peak Lewis.

    “He has no heart!!!” Is all he has the mental capacity to say. Even a chimp can learn basic things if they repeat it endlessly.

    If he's counted as a classic (he should be), then yes Fury is getting beaten.
    If he meets bad mood Lewis then he's getting beaten badly.

    Lewis is arguably the #1 H2H heavyweight around. He's also, however, a bit like Fury in that he could stink the joint out when his form was off. Best version however has to be rated higher than Fury.

    I could see Jack Sharkey giving him his hands full.

    He wasn’t always so disposed because he didn’t have to be but I did very much like bad mood Lewis - “Bring it on maaan, you ain’t nuttin’ to me!”

    Fury would talk more than enough smack going into the fight to have Lewis more than slightly miffed.

    Not so abrasive Michael Grant was quickly exposed to the competitive spirit and killer instinct that Lennox had within him.

    What can Usyk do that pre-exile Ali couldn’t?
