Because i dont really rate any of the opponents he has beaten at heavyweight. His two best wins are Joshua and Fury and i feel both are over hyped. No i am not forgetting Dubois,dont rate him either,and yes before anyone says it i am a dinosaur and live in the past
Usyk would never lose to someone like McCall and Rahman, after all Usyk is longer lasting than Lewis who at his age already retired and don't start with excuses like "Lewis had more fights" Lewis was knocked out because he never had Usyk's defense, I know if you feel nostalgic, but Usyk is simply better...
If Frank Bruno could outbox Lewis for 6 rounds Usyk will do it for 12 in my opinion. Lewis struggled with a aged Holyfield who had good footwork . Lewis has never fought anyone with Usyk's footwork and boxing ability who is unphased by fighting a talented boxer 55 lbs heavier.Usyk will definitely hurt Lewis and I wouldn't rule out a late stoppage. Lewis's 1997-2003 run is overrated in my opinion. Grant,Tua and Golota were HBO hypes not as good as we were led to believe. Tyson and Holyfield were old.
