    No. Not even if Lennox was blind and in a wheelchair.

    Unless Lewis goes in laughing like he did against Rahman and gets caught, Simon has no chance.

    Why would Lewis take risks against this guy?

    I like Lewis by 10th round mercy stoppage.


    Why not match him with Grant or something funny like that?

    Simon was a friggin' bartender for cryin' out loud.... He was a very wide but solid 255 pounds in top shape............. STILL! Lewis kills Simon within 5 rds....... No contest......... Simon becomes chopped liver..........

    This fight would not be prety.

    Lewis would beat Simon to an unrecognisable pulp without putting him away untill later in the fight.

    I dont give Simon much of a punchers chance because I dont think he has the punching skill of even sombody like Ramhan.

    I just taped off ESPN "Simon-Louis 2" from '42............ Simon was strong like an Ox, but his skills were under par............. He had spirit, but little else................
