22-0 Lennox Lewis vs 22-0 Tyson Fury

Don't know what you're talking about?

Lennox fought and beat Vitali.... and he also fought Wlad, just watch Oceans 11 and see for yourself :good

 

tyson fury is absolute **** he is a disgrace to boxing got no class or respect if he has the guts to turn up and fight he will be found out very soon he will be never be world champ not even in this poor era

 

Hasn't he already shown the guts to turn up and win 22 fights as a pro so far...

 

Lewis decimates Fury in an utter mismatch. Pointless comparison.

That and people acting like Fury will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime when he literally just proved that he won't. "I'm a fighting man blah blah blah" "People are pretending or deliberately injuring themselves to avoid fighting me blah blah blah" "I'm pulling out of the Ustinov fight..."

 

Uhh, unless you or anybody answering has both a time machine and a selective memory-wiping device then your 'nuanced' question is beyond answering truthfully.

Judge Fury at the end of his career not at the start.....

 

The answers are obvious, aren't they?

1. Lewis' 22-0 is clearly superior. Biggs/Johnson (Mason-Chisora is a push as is McCrory-Cunningham) but Lewis also had a victory over Mike Weaver and the clincher is Lewis' KO2 over Razor Ruddock.

Were "Prime" Ruddock (he was probably a year past prime when Lewis demolished him) fighting now, he would be one of the top 2 HW's on Earth and a genuine challenger for Wald!!

2. Lewis!

3a. A fired up Lewis would ko Fury in 1-2 rounds (think Michael Grant, Donovan Ruddock, Andrew Galota) and it would be fair to say that Fury's pre-fight bull**** would annoy Lewis sufficiently so as to ensure Lewis was not complacent (which was the laid back Lewis' greatest weakness).

3b. A laid back, untrained Lewis would probably tko Fury in a scrappy affair in 4-6 (though it could be far sooner if Lewis lands one of those bombs on Fury's vulnerable beard).

A big, slow, man like Fury, who possesses far inferior skills, a porous defence and a questionable beard, who is not a one punch ko artist and who is vulnerable to Lewis's favourite weapon (overhand right) is a dream opponent for Lennox.

The fact that Big Daddy Bowe (who Lewis hammered in the Olympics) was unwilling to fight Lewis does make it feasible that Mr Fury (who would not fight Ustinov and preferred to swerve David Price, before Pricey was exposed) avoids Lewis like a Doctor tries to dodge an ebola sufferer!!

 

He has indeed and I respect Tyson Fury and every other fighter who possess the balls to get in there and fight another man!!

Unfortunately, Tyson Fury may well be remembered for the fight he didn't have!! And the circumstances of that non-event do lead one to lose respect for the man.

The OP did clearly state that it was 22-0 Lewis-v-22-0 Fury!!

That is a fair comparison, is it not? Especially since Lewis was 27 at that time and Fury is 26!!

The "Classic" section of this site must be a nightmare for you.

 

:deal

 

Six weeks after Lennox TKO6 Vitali, Wlad was getting TKO'd in 2 rounds by Corrie Sanders!!

It is doubtful that Lennox, having defeated the (at the time) clearly superior and infinitely more durable (and dangerous) Vitali, would avoid the extremely vulnerable Wlad!!

So no, I cannot imagine a world in which a proud champion like Lewis would avoid Wlad!!

 

I might pick Lewis even now.atsch

 

:good

 

Let's be honest, even if Lewis fought fury tomorrow he'd take him apart

 

I like Fury - he's brash and entertaining - but he talks a better fight than he's ever fought whereas Lewis was the real deal...

 

Right.......you simply don't seem to understand that IN HINDSIGHT you cannot judge Lewis' 22-0 career alongside Fury's PRESENT 22-0.

The 'conscious' portion of life must be a struggle for you.

I saw/read/understood what the OP meant but let me spell it out for you:
THE QUESTION CANNOT BE ANSWERED WITH ANY WORTH.

As for the 'Classic' section of this site, I find the replies and discussion on there light-years beyond your own.
