    Lennox Lewis before Steward was still an excellent fighter. This is a one-sided fight.

    Still go with Lewis if he's focused. He has to be in order to not be nailed with that Wilder right hand.

    See Lewis-Ruddock for your answer.

    I can see that as a possibility.

    This is it. Lewis, tho not as polished as later was still dangerous as. The defensive blind spot for a counter right hand that McCall/Steward went thru wouldn't matter here as Wilder won't be taking the risk (or have the skill) of launching while Lewis is mid combination.
