    Imagine Lewis of the late 90s/early 00 s .
    Over the course of three years he fights these 3 ,in their prime?

    Wlad Klitschko
    Deontay Wilder
    Tyson Fury

    Does he win these fights?
    How hard/easily?
    Would he lose any?
    Lewis takes all these fights seriously, no slacking here.

    he should, though Wlad could box well and should hang for a good while until LL lands, if he can and he should a KO Punch.

    LL over the other two.

    Pretty much how I see it, McVey.
    Can't decide if Wilder gets taken out early or hangs in til later.
    But he's not seeing the end bell lol

    Likely KOs all 3 if he comes motivated and in shape. Small chance of upset loss by KO to Wlad (if Wlad can somehow avoid panicking after getting hit by Lewis.)

    All 3 are tough matches for him.

    People are gonna laugh at Wilder but Lewis had virtually no defense against taller opponents and he’s done with the first right hand Wilder lands. He should be able to just walk him down with the jab and get the KO from the jump but expect anything.

    Fury I think is an unpleasant night for any SHW with the way he moves and boxes with that much reach and length. He’s gonna out-jab Lewis, catch him repeatedly with jab-to-left hooks and have him spinning and searching for him all over the ring. That being said Lewis threw more than him and he can deal about 5 times the damage Fury can with his punches, so I think the result is an SD either way with Fury making Lewis look stupid but looking like someone hit him in the face with an axe.

    Wlad was better at range than Lewis and had similar size/power but his clinching tactics won’t mesh well with Lewis’ brutal inside uppercuts and rough-housing. I think Lewis’ stiff jab and aggressiveness against big guys saves him here by making Wlad gunshy enough to slip inside.

    I give Wlad a good shot, I don't think he will win nescarrily I give this like 7/10 Lewis, but I give him a shot. This is gonna sound wild ,but I do give Wilder a good shot, and here is my reasoning. Lennox got KOed by MCcall and Rahman and in quite an easy fashion. In his fights with Bruno, Briggs and Even the second with Holyfield. He was on the verge of being knocked out in those fights,but those guys just were not that good at finishing, Wilder is.

    Fury , I don't know. Lennox is quite stationary,BUT. Lennox is just better at boxing in general than Fury. His fundamentals are just superior so I give him 7/10 winning to Lennox

    The Wilder fight would be similar to the Michael Grant fight where Lennox won inside 2 rounds. Lennox is just far too well rounded for anyone like Wilder.

    I would think Steward in his corner would also easily help gameplan Lennox for Wilder.

    Lennox would probably win all 3 but he has a good chance of getting knocked out by Wilder or Wlad

    Lewis stops Klitschko rounds 8-10.
    Think he could stop Fury after round 5 unless it turns into an ugly cancel each other out kinda fight. Lewis wins.

    Stops Wilder in 2 rounds I reckon

    Lewis beats all of them. Likely within a few rounds.

    Knocks Wilder out easily, may struggle with Fury, but I think he gets the UD and Wlad fight would be quite something to watch - all out war with both men down and Lewis emerging victorious.

    Wladimir has the best chance, but he can't pull an Akinwande or he's getting disqualified, has has to somehow keep Lewis at bay and land a KO punch before he gets roughed up. I have to favor Lewis, more tools, more heart

    Fury gets KO'd late with a huge right hand. Lewis walks him down behind a jab and Fury doesn't have the power to even remotely halt him, boxing and feinting will only dely the inevitable and he will get dragged into a dogfight

    Lewis destroys Wilder, 2nd round stoppage
